OMPL XII - Commencement

Not open for further replies.
Since my council is unable to do me a solid and write something for me despite being as qualified (exept for dunfan hes cool :]), I guess it falls on me to do the a ranking of Inheritance's gamers. I will not use specific numbers to give them a rating, Instead ill separate them into vague, unordered tiers and use my words to describe the gamers. Do keep in mind i value tier knowledge since its a relatively hard meta to learn and its still solidifying its playerbase.

Inheritance GR (Gamer Rankings)

I can confirm they have played recently___________________________________________________________________

Me!
hey kids! spelling is fun! (id rather not be drafted as the sole inh guy for a team)

BijouMode
MidjouMid is a pretty great Inh player and knows the meta and builds fun and its a fine presence and all that. they had a pretty good showing in the inheritour that got cut short by the illest guy in the block. def has come a long way from last year. pretty good!

pannu, formerly known as pannuracota, also known as Pocket Monsters Jeffrey
Pocket Monsters Jeffrey, formerly known as pannuracota, is a accomplished Other Metagames player and has experience in many tiers such as Balanced Hacked Pocket Monsters, Same Type Attack Bonus Pocket Monsters, and Inheritance. However, he is known to publish messages with nonsensical, irreverent and humorless content in places for more serious discussion, as well as being a pathological liar and unable to keep a promise. As such, it is recommended to exercise caution when drafting him

Don't know if they have played recently___________________________________________________________________

cscl
When this guy played for wc of om, i was pretty surprised with their builds, and they also had a pretty decent record by the end of the tour. I do remember having some trouble reaching them through discord, and i havent seen them since

anaconja
Ana is a council member, and i remember him playing pretty well in wc of om too. I have not seen him play at all since then i think.

Have lots of experience in the tier (ordered by best option to draft)____________________________________

CoolTrainerGary
Gary is/was a ladder gremlin, who has held the top position multiple times and played consistently since the very beginning. He has as deep a knowledge of the tier as many of the players above him. However, I feel like his building style is made to cheese little timmies on ladder and cteam whatever is my favorite offensive core is at the moment, and in general I have only seen him build stall and dedicated sun teams when drought was freed. As far as I know he also has no real tour experience. You should probably pair this guy with someone with more tour experience to help channel his knowledge into a wider array of builds.

Dunfan (who should sign up to play)
Dunfan is a current Inheritance councilmember, and for the longest time he was the only guy who responded to what i posted on the Inh channel in OMcord. He 100% thinks about inh all the time and has lots and lots of tier knowledge. He doesnt have any tour experience though, and has some issues coalessing his knowledge into good teams. But the biggest flaw he has for the draft id say is the fact that he hasnt actually signed up. This is actually the first guy you should invite to your team disc after the draft ends, if he doesnt sign up, so that you can get him on teambuilding help and get em to agree to a Unspoken NDA so that he doesnt help no one else.

Schpoonman aka batsol
batsol ive seen around on ladder a lot, and he did win the Inheritour. He has a lot of knowledge of the metagame, which is in short supply, but ive never been personally impressed by any of their teams, and rewatching the tapes for inheritour, he very much has One style of team he likes. I also felt like he was very likely to "accept his fate (negative)" when playing. Not to discredit the guy, he did win after all, but I do believe that he might need some help to prevent him to getting cteamed 7 weeks in a row.

GlalieGoesBoom
I have definetly seen glalie many times in ladder, but i dont have many particular memories of playing them. They definetly know about the tier, but i cant say that much more.

Have learned the tier recently (not ordered)_____________________________________________________________________

augustakira
akira got to semis in the Inheritour while learning on the fly, so that gives a lot of promise. They seem to be pretty good at the game in general. However, they got there with some of the whackest builds ive seen in my life (who tf runs manual rain??), so they could use some more sane teammates to ground their builds. Also apparently people are saying to not draft them to play inh first for some other tier? whats "bee aych"? Im freezing down here whos thinking of going to the beach?

Byleth (who doesnt seem to want to play)
In the offchance Byleth goes on a bender and, in a drunken stupor, decides to sign up, I feel like I should comment on her Inh skills. After all, she did get to top of the ladder pretty recently after only playing for a few months, and is generally a very skilled player. However, me personally I would not draft her. Not because shes bad or because shes toxic or anything. Its just.... her builds..... She builds stall, but the sets that she uses are like not build by a human being, they feel like they came from a lovecraftian entity. Looking at her pokepastes makes me feel uneasy, like this isnt what masuda nor chaos thought of when thinking about what pokemon should be. Theyre teams I feel whose RMTs would be found inside the pages of the Necronomicon, and reading them would make you die or go insane.

I have played against them before in Inheritance______________________________________________________________

TTTech

cannot be drafted, but he did play pretty well in last gens OM Spotlight League. Dont know about how much he played this gen

BlackKnight_Gawain
also played pretty well in last gen's OMSL, and he can be drafted. Wow, i sure wish i could tell you exactly what kind of inh player he was, but sadly the replays are lost :(

astralydia
Lydia! one of the most accomplished OM players of all time, lots of trophies, you know er, you love er. She was the previous TL last gen until she stepped down late in the gen, and hasnt played since early gen 9. Im pretty sure you will not be able to convince her to be your main player for any tier, so id keep that in mind too.

I have not played against them in inheritance (outside of like 1 test game)_______________________________________

Isaiah

Hes is a pretty good player in general, and is willing to go all in on the tier. This is the guy id say is the most likely suddenly become a force to be reckoned with in the tier. From what he said about his sign up its very likely in my opinion he'll mentally block the AAA channel and any AAA discussion on your teamcord, so jot that down

Fissure
I've seen reports of this guy apparently running PP drain stall on inh ladder???? WHO DOES THAT LMAOOOOO

people i havent mentioned are either filthy clickers or I dont know much about.

INTRODUCTING

OMPLFD - Other Metagames Premier League Fantasy Draft!
yes i am fully aware this is a terrible name

1. What is OMPLFD?
Think Fantasy Football, but with OM players instead! You (yes, you) take hold of an imaginary team and get to pick 12 OM'ers from the pool of drafted players with a budget of 100k. Each week you submit a lineup of 8 players to me, and you get points based on how well they played. At the end of the regular season, the winner is the person with the most amount of points. This game tests your ability to predict and forecast who's gonna have the best performances, and is generally a bit of fun!​

2. So can you explain this drafting process to me?
It's not actually like a draft, it's more like a picking process. Once the auction is over, you are free to pick any 12 players, from any team, in any combination, as long as you don't go over your budget of 100k. For example, my pick might look like Yuki (SSSSS, 15k), Chromate (Heart Takers, 15k), HiZo (Rise Up Darkrais, 14k), etc. This is a bad draft by the way, you want tier diversity in your picks.​
NB: YOU CANNOT PICK MANAGERS. NO I AM NOT LETTING Y'ALL JUST PICK STRESH QT FC etc.

3. So how do I get points then?
As aforementioned, you submit a lineup of 8 players before the beginning of every gameweek. For every unique metagame played on your lineup, you get a point. So this means if you submitted a lineup with every player in a different slot in the actual OMPL, you'd gain 8 points at the start of the week. Neat, huh?​
You also gain points based on how well your players perform. For all metas other than Bo3: If a player wins, you earn 2 points. If they lose 3 pokemon or less in the process, they gain an extra point (so 3 points for the game). If they get a perfect game (6-0), they get another extra point (so 4 points for the game). Bo3 scores differently. An overall set win gets you 2 points, and a 2-0 nets you 3 points. However if the Bo3 player loses overall but took a game, they earn one point.​
So at this point, you've noticed that you pick 12 players but only submit 8 per week. The other 4 players act as "substitutes" - they don't usually count to the point total of a week, but if one of your starting players does not play, the highest scoring substitute "subs" in, and contributes their point total to the week.​

4. Anything else I should know?
Yes, actually there is.​
1) You have a total of 2 free transactions over the course of the regular season - beyond this it is 2 points per transaction, and to make them you must inform me of your intent to make a trade before the start of the new week for them to be in play.​
2) When sending your lineups in, you can choose one of them as your "captain". This captain earns double points for the week.​
3) This only runs until the regular season ends. There will be no points earned for predicting who makes it to the playoffs.​

5. How do I signup?
Send a Smogon PM to me (BoingK) stating "in" and then your draft of 12 players. Notably, signups will only open after the auction has taken place. You will also need to send your week one lineup at that point in time.​

6. How are you gonna track all of this?
Good question​

I look forward to my inbox being spammed with lots of private messages! Good luck to those who sign-up, and see you at the auction!

e: any questions just pm me or ping me on discord
