Tournament NUFL II Commencement
- Thread starter Pokeslice
- Start date
the mysterious BALL.
Hi I'm NDK. I can primarily support SV and BW, but can also provide test matches in other tiers if necessary. I am a Shengineer disciple (received tutoring from him) and have massively improved over the past couple of months. And yes, I can play GSC NU if necessary for your team to win.
Hello managers of the prestigious NUFL II, today I'm here to write a few shout outs (two).
Slikkles -> This guy is the goat. Can catch up with metas decently quickly, is good at SV. He recently went 5-2 in RUPL, 7-2 in RBTT, 5-1 in FCL and
6-1 in UMCL. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get him.
Flabeauf -> He is the second (and hopefully the last) french I'm writing a shoutout for in NUFL. He is pretty good. He kinda stopped playing a lot after SCL last year but it seems he is motivated again and I expect him to do well.
Me -> Hi people, me is Lyra. I can play SS and GSC and also willing to play SM and ADV. I can yap to myself in SS if you happen to get me for that but if you're drafting me for GSC please try to get someone who is kinda experienced in the tier or be kinda experienced yourself. Doing GSC all by my lonesome self is sad. Since SM is a fairy gen I can try to atleast act like I know my stuff but if I play ADV fsr please try to help me :(.
Happy drafting to y'all! :)

SV NU shoutouts:
Greetings! I figured I'd help make the commencement thread more lively with some player recommendations ^^
I imagine many of these names are already in some manager's minds but better safe than sorry, I don't wanna see managers flexing lack of ball knowledge with those "who is this?" during auction or something.
Big clickers
JustOut459: Long-time NU face with consistently strong individual runs, most recently round 5 open with a win over Jyusaan. Also had success in other gens, winning the RoA ORAS NU spotlight tournament that happened a couple months ago.
jyusaan: Newer NU face dating from around Last Chance, has scored wins over Diamonds, Shadow and Bazaar over his individual runs. Also made DPP cup semifinals.
Gom:
Nemosse: See above
Braga S2: Arguably top PTPL performer (depending if you prefer 5-1 or 6-3) in a poll that had Shadow and Mipc. Picks up tiers very fast, made semifinals in BW open.
mipc: NU Seasonal IV finalist, also 6th place in the oldgen circuits sheet. Vileplumes SV is just that strong ig, so they're not starting him. Also one of the only people in this list who consistently builds his own stuff.
kafkafka: Currently in slam r6, has been doing relatively well in individuals for a while now.
Builders/Support
Midwest Emo Band: Best unhinge builder in the pool, spiritual successor of mr. Big Tony. Also a solid clicker in his own right, has beaten Esteb4n and Django in individuals before.
Heatranator: More of a vanilla builder, but sometimes a vanilla team + a strong pilot is all you really need. Heatranator really doesn't need shoutouts, I'm really just adding him here for completeness.
Guzot: Was a good vibes support for the Cramorabias, was busy with other stuff but still found the time to provide teams and ideas, and do scouts for all sorts of tiers.
Other vibes nominations
Zangoose360:
APOGRAPHA: Even newer NU face without many tour results but a lot of potential. Good clicker.
Dead by Daylight: The GREAT dbd, doesn't have many tour results but is actually pretty strong in SV.
KeshBa54: Similarly not a lot of tour results in NU, but I'm vouching for him being a good clicker out of personal experience in ladder games.
FlowerHater45: NU chatroom mainstay. Very chill guy, also not a weak player.
-------------
List is non-exhaustive but if you're lost for SV despite being a manager, hopefully this helps some. Happy drafting!
