Appropriate delay from me doing this jawns. So shoutouts
Oglemi Figure I'd be safe for ADV ez because I had the guy that made and only guy that basically played the tier. That turned out to not necessarily be the case but was still extremely helpful with older generation team building and he could of had a better record with how close his battles were. Prof pics are also spot on so def a good buy.
The Goomy I heard he was decent. I don't think he won 1 game lol. But he took the bo3 slot in stride (scorp was too lazy and took the glory of oras when goomy could have gotten it lol), and was dedicated to the team. If you only knew dpp better we would have been fine. Thanks for setting up the skype chat too, im pretty sure that was you anyways. And belly drum magmortar is god.
Marilli Knew I wanted him for bw from the great bw nu days, but forgot he quit when bw2 was around so it made it even easier to put him in bw1. Obviously anyone who brings linoone and wins has my respect lol. But great teammate willing to test out teams, thanks a bunch. Also a nice guy to talk to
Deej Dy One of the most reliable battlers on the team, as I suspected. I knew I could place him in any bw or xy gen and he would succeed. Such a cheap buy. Even though you can be somewhat cocky, you definitely backed up your play against some good competition. He was also extremely helpful with aiding other people in teambuilding against certain opponents, which shows the dedication. I put you as the co-MVP to the team for what that's worth
-Tsunami- Perfect pickup. I picked you to be the trashtalker of the team that would win some games and you definitely filled in that role. tbh i was a little annoyed you brought the same team so many times and was gonna bench you if you lost week 2 with the gimmick punchshroom shit, but it worked (I still think your opponents played a little ass/should have somewhat prepared for team but whatever), and you backed up your talk. And he helped set up the popular irc channel when it took me like 1.5 hours to set up the channel because i didnt use irc lol. We did have enough old people that i think some user were on there, but skype is better imo. I know you had bigger commitments than nupl, but i appreciate the effort into this :)
Honko RIP. Also figure I would pick him up as he was a big contributor to dpp, and he went undefeated when he was actually around lol. Thanks for the games when you did play tho
Bughouse The other co-mvp. tbh, didnt know who you were, I think it was goomy and oglemi that told me to try to pick you up, so I did. I knew I needed a third adv/dpp backup when honko inevitably did not show up, and you easily filled in the shoes of subbing in with days to hours notice. You also picked up the slack to play bo3 when I shook up the rosters, which meant you learning a new tier basically on the spot. You consistently provided everyone, specifically goomy, with great teams and insight for dpp (even if he didnt listen :0) and later gen teams, and also kept me on task when I might of had irl priorities. Also found out he goes to a university like 12 miles from me so that's cool. Here's a toast to that (I think that is a good/recognizable pun lol)
Scorpdestroyer I cant really have 3 mvp's, so I guess you're honorable mention. I was waiting to bid on you on auction in the hope people would forget about you and now want to spend money, which I think somewhat worked. You didn't quite do what I expected you to do. I was hoping you would get more activity wins. However, you had actually wins, which I guess works. Also knew I could place him in older gens (even adv) if needed and he would still succeed, so good work.
Lolk Solid bw2 player, I knew you would an easy slot in. Unfortunately the battles did not go the way we wanted at times but still had a positive attitude for the team throughout, which I appreciate.
Toxzn Not active, would of liked to see you around more :(
Dentricos Knew I had a great value buy in draft. I planned on you being a first sub for the ORAS slots. I know people said you were a very predictable player to prepare for, but you did a solid job helping test teams. Also one of the most upbeat person on the team, which I appreciated :) I would of liked to of seen you more active towards the later weeks so I had more confidence to sub you in, but you provided alot of behind the scene help with this team, which cannot be undervalued
DTC RIP I really wanted to put you in bw1 to quiet the naysayers, but nevertheless, they were correct lol. Still a good pick up for 3k tho. come back please.
Chef Rice Idk why you changed your name lol but similar to dentri, providing teams and testing was very valuable, thank you for your dedication.
Galbia Such a steal. I would of had you in for dpp when baghouse was in bo3 if honko didnt show up, but that was never needed. I appreciate you testing teams, and also appreciated this image :)
Steve Angello Huge steal, knew you were a good battler so I knew I could put you in oras no problems. Too bad you could not get more battles in then you did, but you did fine. Bulky scyther is too good.
Shaneghoul I wouldnt be surprised if half the managers did not know who you were when I drafted you lol. But out of all the tryout battles I had, you really impressed me with teambuilding, general battling and being a good/not annoying guy (some people should take note :0). With the larger squad we had I knew I would have trouble putting you in a battle, but I could rely on you to test teams and could put you in on short notice and would have a good chance to get a win. I know you did not get any game play, but I hope the experience was helpful :)
Robert Alfons The only 'trade' of the season, and definitely worth it. TBH I had you as the 3/4 slot for bw2 (3/4 depending if I decided to play it or not), but you came in the clutch when needed. You can definitely say you went undefeated in nupl season 3 on your resume. Thanks for the help and would buy you again!
Well, I did not think I was going to be picked as a manager when going through the process as I wasnt as active during 6th gen as I was 5th gen. I also didnt quite know what to expect going into the draft, I went through alot of work deciding who I wanted on this team. For the most part, I am satisfied with our team knowing we basically could have made the finals if we won in the last week, which I nor many people expected going into the season. Though I could have prepared better (family issues, finals exam, grad school apps and graduation made it a little difficult), I really appreciated all the hard work the wobbuffets did this season. Most importantly, being a manager got me to meet a bunch of really cool (and annoying, but mostly cool) teammates and people in this community, which is awesome and definitely the best experience playing mons (besides finding and beating ash in Pokemon Gold). General shoutouts to
Tennisace for originally getting the tournament started and being a good bw2 nu mentor,
Raseri because dewgongs and being helpful for my first time as manager and
HJAD for making the logo, cool stuff. And congrats to
Cased for winning it, I think my team did better than you thought though!
