This thread has gone to shit so here are some MnM draft Player Rankings from me to save it. Also gonna tag Atha RoFnA TTTech Clas to post rankings of aaa / stab / bo3 / gg cuz its always fun to read such posts from prominent players of the tier.
Top Players that should go positive
1. Icemaster: Probably the best pilot out there in mnm right now. While his meta knowledge isnt the highest, ice has strong fundamentals as a player and is quick to pick up on trends. Coming from a strong open run where he technically built his own teams, his first rank is also boosted by mnm gaining a second slot in bo3, which does wonders for any team looking to pick him up. While he claims he wont tryhard this tour, i still think his above average level of participation in this tour is good enough to guarantee a positive record.
2. Redflix: While i consider myself as one of the top builders of this meta unfortunately, current mnm is not too kind on me. With a lot to account for in builder, i can often see myself tunneling on specific threats leading to faulty teams. Also given the fact that i will miss a few weeks of this tour, i dont think i can take that top spot from ice. Draft me with Osake pls
3. Clas: A competent player for bo3 as well, i think clas is better suited for mnm slot given its their strongest slot and the nature of this pool. A resident critic of current mnm who has openly stated their dislike, clas has still immense meta knowledge and has improved their play since last year, where they managed a decent record against a relatively stronger pool. They too are held back by their tunneling on specific threats but overall offer better value than the rest below.
Players that can go positive
4. Lydia: One of the stronger players of the past who understood mnm at its core, lydia is back after a long hiatus. As a player, they have been always solid but never have had the team tour record to back it out. Their un-familiarness to the meta may be a problem in the first two weeks but given support from either the bo3 slot or a manager, i think they'll thrive and could easily upset the above players.
5. Zastra: An active builder and an active ladderer, Zastra has also improved plenty from last ompl. While his play still needs final polishing, his proficiency in the builder is more than enough for me to have faith in them.
6. Slither Wing : One of the newer faces of mnm, Bonk had a good open showing and has been active throughout. Their building ability is top notch as they have been shown comfortable using a wide variety of archetypes. Playing-wise, on an even mu its hard for me to rate bonk that high as they can often lose their way in longer games but i'd be lying if the current meta didnt favour players like bonk.
These can go either way
7.dilllllllllllon: Admittedly, im being a bit harsh on dillon considering he repeatedly beats players above on a regular basis and has constantly shown to be quick on catching trends. His playing ability is also strong as he is not afraid to make daring plays even if he is ahead. However, his team choices is a bit eccentric and while it works on ladder, in a team tour setting id argue its a bit of a double edged sword. It'll be exciting to see whether he can bring his ladder madness to this team tour or not.
8. Osake: Former MnM Open Finalist and retired 3 years ago frenchie osake finds himself in the bottom half of the list. Should he start in the tier? Probably not as i doubt he is in touh with the meta but i am gonna mention him considering he has shown talent and is a good pilot.
9. ghostlike: While i wasnt impressed with ghostlike's mnm open performance despite his deep run, his recent games in playoffs has been pretty good. Not sure whether he builds his own team or not as he isnt active in the meta channel but he has shown to be a great pilot and has the ability to improve.
10. PociekMociek: Similar to Osake, I doubt Pociek has been UpToDate with current mnm but given his past expertise, i think he can be a good shout altho i do think his strength lies more on the builder than the actual game.
11. Axzel , Tectonic and db: Gonna club these three together since i have similar to say for all 3 and also gonna order them in this sequence. Axzel got snubbed last time and in general has not paid attention much to current gen altho recently ive seen them laddering. Tect has almost 0 experience in this tier and tbh current meta is probably unfavourably to him altho on playing ability alone i rank him the highest. db struggled last time to a terrible record and altho he has the ability to play good, thats gonna require a strong support and maintanence.
Other than these, Players like temp, Shing, Maybca, SpaceSpeakers, tier all have the ability to start but either they are much better as support for ur slot or are likely gonna be slotted into other tiers as a pilot.
Finally just saw a thing i want to address in this tour.
Nothing against tea here, but these signups are not it. All does this is hold the manager hostage in case of a sub needed and overall, takes a spot from a player in this tour. (or more if people are insane enough to go more than 3k since tea is p known in the community). If ur not gonna even be available to sub in for the duration of this tour, whats the point in even being in a team. u can literally support as a helper without being bought to a team u like.

If ur not gonna even be available to sub in for the duration of this tour, whats the point in even being in a team. u can literally support as a helper without being bought to a team u like.
im gonna speak up because i asked tea to sign up; this is super degenerate and i wish it wasn't an accepted standard. having a player offer free support, much less the best builder in the tier do it, is a huge advantage and if there was a way to prevent teams from doing this id be heavily pushing for it. it's especially bad in playoffs when half the teams are eliminated and players join whatever team they like most.
every manager knows what they're getting here and if they dont have enough subs for any tier it's their own problem, just like if they pick up 4 subs who all put pic or bh in their tiers not played list.
People take team supports for granted far too often, especially free/undrafted ones who are helping out of kindness and good will. Supporting, especially if you're a team's primary support for a tier that not many people are willing to learn (even if they should be) is an immense amount of work and dedication, and if a manager drafts a pure support, that's a choice they're making after deciding the benefit of amazing support outweighs the benefit of a fourth sub. Players who intend only to support should absolutely sign up! If they intend to put hours of their time and effort into a team that wins, they absolutely should be rewarded the same as every other team member. Expecting support to be free just because many people do it out of the kindness of their hearts is incredibly shitty, supporting a team to have a win officially under your name is just as, if not even more valid.
ily flix but like.. managers don't have to buy someone who signs up exclusively to support. they're not held at gunpoint. if you don't want someone who's exclusively support, then you shouldn't buy someone who's exclusively support.
This is the definition of cope and skill issue lmao.
The larger sentiment also doesn't make sense because tea, and anyone else who chooses to sign-up solely for support, owe managers (and especially other players!) nothing because they are being transparent in what they bring to the table, so it's on the managers to draft accordingly. It is also silly to disregard the manager's autonomy and risk analysis in their decision to pick up sole support players. Tea doesn't deserve a callout like this, especially since tiers not played was added in part so players could focus on the tiers/things they actually want to help with, and not be forced into anything.

i personally don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with having people join your teamchat to support from the shadows, if you don’t like it then you should try and make more friends or be more self reliant/buy a competent team that can work amongst themselves without outside help. signing up solely to support is not taking a spot from someone else because, well, they should have been drafted by someone else if they were so deserving. i don’t really like the idea of “snubs” in team tournaments since everyone will get their chance eventually and if you don’t make it then there’s only really one person you can blame and that’s yourself for not being more invested in making it happen. you can win games, you can be a socialite, you can be known as that one person who can build decent teams whatever it is if you put yourself out there you shouldn’t have an issue getting bought in this tour. if he wants to join as a support then he should because he will have value, it’s not senseless and you can always draft other subs to actually commit to playing. not everyone has to be there to play.
Hey, old Smogonite, new tour player. Lemme add to the dogpile and say this is a non-issue. By saying upfront they won't be playing, only support, they're removing the issue of "taking the spot" of another player.
If I were to be drafted as the solo Inheritance player for a team (please do not do that, read Don's post, I will very very very much need teambuilding support) and then when my game came up said "Oh, I just wanted to be support, not play any games," that would be an issue, leaving my team without a player for a game.
But Tea saying ahead of time they won't be playing any games would make the "mistake" of drafting them entirely on the manager, if they were expecting Tea to play.
And if you think you should have been drafted but you got left on the shelf in favor of support, well, maybe you need to spend a decade on this site before you attempt any tour shenanigans like I did.

We don't agree with Redflix's list so we got together to write a better MNM PR. Also to deviate from that minor thing in his post that 99999 people are making posts about. Also the MNM pool is stacked asf so its great fun to look at
Top Players
1. Redflix: Builds the most coherent teams and understands the latest meta trends and the weight of each mon on the builder, as evidenced by leading the format. We think he's slightly above QT due to past records.
2. QT: Much like Redflix but just slightly weaker recent showings.
3. Stresh: No justification needed. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know the meta cause what he uses becomes the meta by next week. But he has had legit NO activity in OMs recently, so we can't be too sure of his results, and we do know he'll be v busy with WCOP etc which takes him down a little.
4. Lydia: Player fundamentals are insanely important and lydia probably has one of the highest of everyone on here. While she hasnt played much gen 9 MNM but its extremely easy to get into - just see Icemaster. She should have no trouble adapting, Gen 9 MNM is the tier most like a gen 8 or gen 7 format.
5. Career Ended: OM Circuit champion with perhaps the most knowledge on general OM team patterns (they apply across all metas), and is getting into all sorts of formats, UU included. He is getting better extremely quickly, and was already very good, so should be able to kill everyone in MNM.
6. Clas: Obviously, 6 players can't go positive...... but its likely multiple of the above play BO3 and Clas can punch with everyone else up here. In terms of player fundamentals, slightly below the above, but what brings him high is his activity and willingness to build MANY teams until he gets something working.
7. Icemaster: high fundamentals, and typically plays well but has the tendency to rush midgames or games where he thinks he's ahead (prime example: MNM open vs Rofna). Ranked high because of his past showings, but his questionable performance recently and reluctance / inability to build is quite bad in a builders metagame like MNM. While he had to beg for teams for OMGS, if he gets some good team support, especially from some of the above, he might be able to punch as well as everyone else up here. Also will be busy with various ubers tours outlined in his signup... defo needs a builder.
Great Players:
8. Axzel: EXTREMELY slept on player... usually goes 5-6 wins or more in TPP - yeah sure most of you will write that tournament off but its literally on the same level as OMPL... not that much level in player skill nor are the formats too different (if anything, SNM is harder due to a lack of resources, so that attests to his creativity and builder exploration). I think he's slept on mainly because he's not given a chance - he didn't get selected in OMPL fsr, or in OMWC due to being in a stacked region, and because he doesn't really join much of the individuals.
9 Tectonic: As above. He can be kinda annoying tho LOL (but that was a few years ago - very possible he's matured) so you'll definitely get a bargain on a great player.
Tied 9. dilllllllllllon: Great individual results, but we haven't seen that much games from him. Esp not in the team tours. Definitely worth throwing 3k at if you can't commit to the above.
10. derpyboi/db: Another great player worth throwing 3k at - he can definitely start.
11. Zastra: not much to add, redflix covered it.
12 Slither Wing: Flix covered it
13. Temp: Top tier in TPP MNM just like Axzel.
I don't have much to add on the remaining players but there's A LOT of great MNM players.... super deep pool and we're all excited to play in it. Our advice to managers would be to not spend too much here - there's so many good players you can go for a high tier for 5k rather than a top tier for 14k, and then save your money towards the pools with more talent concentrated at the top. We think those are BO3, STAB and PIC.
Thanks everyone who helped me rank

PRs of gg players (the players who are not included here are those I don't know or those whose gg signup I think is negligible) (I don't want to upset anyone sorry if my PRs seem wrong to some people). If other players want to do theirs, please do! It's always very interesting to see different people's opinions, and it can only be positive. (especially since I don't have much to say, it's pretty sad ngl)
Tier 1 - Very good players who require little or no support (not ordered)
Tier 2 - Good players but will need someone on the side to help them. (ordered)
Tier 3 - Good players but will REALLY need someone on the side to help them. (ordered)
Tier 4 – Probably only for support unless there's no other choice (ordered)
You can contact me by mp if you have any questions about things I didn't mention or that I didn't explain well, I'll be happy to answer. have a nice day!

Since I'm not a stakeholder this could be the most straightforward and unbiased BH PR. Or you can call it subjective cuz it is still my personal take.
Nihilslave's BH Player Rank
Players in each rank ordered
cityscapes
Cityscapes is the only BH player in the pool that I have negative odds against.
xavgb
Stresh is great at everything but they are not likely to start BH.

Quantum Tesseract
QT's teams are standard and effective enough for mid teambuilders not to break through. And most teambuilders are mid teambuilders. Plus QT is a very good player.
XxLazzerpenguinxX
If given time he can grasp the metagame very well. And after that he can use his rude and energetic builds to tear his opponents apart.
augustakira
Akira is the best serving professional BH player. I lose to them very often in private games. They may have also accumulated enough tour experience from the past tour games.
Chessking345
Actually I don't know much about Chessking as an individual player cuz we are always teammates lol. And we always pair very well so he can't be bad.
Ivar57
Ivar is like a machine. That's both a positive comment and a negative comment.
TTTech
TTTech is "averagely good" by the comment of Eelstartega.

Clas
Clas behaves very well in tours but perhaps they can't build. I don't like watching replays of 9BH so I can't comment more.
RoFnA
I don't do researches but I somehow feel RoFnA is an active and creative BH player.
willdbeast
Willdbeast was a professional BH player when I first played in tours and still beat me in an impressive game last omwc. Being absent for a long while though he can accomplish his job as a BH builder&player well.
Tea Guzzler
As a tour player tea has a bad mental and as a builder tea has hit his bottleneck long time ago. You should still draft tea if your team lacks a player that really knows BH.
rightclicker
Rightclicker is a promising player. He's young and hasn't been tested much in tours (iirc). Steal him and let him cook something.
tzaur
Tzaur was very good a while ago. If not the absense I'd place them higher. I'm really interested in their performance as an OMPL player.
The Guy Who Has Many Alts
A very active player on discord. They always have innovative ideas but need tour experience or someone else to hold them back from those crazy ones. Just like the young-young cityscapes. A very specific suggestion is pairing them with Chessking.
damflame3
The player I never understand. Being isolate from the main BH community kinda makes their builds unique. Solid player.
Marsopa Trump & Test Rex
A 7BH player that was good. I don't think they have obvious shortcomings.
Hiusi guy
This guy has grown a lot in last omwc. I believe they can continue this trend if drafted this time.
Codename C.A.T
Not a big presense in my mind however I remember they had some decent tour performances.

I've been keeping told that Pdt is a BH goat but I've never seen that true once.

From recent posts I can see a certain extent of meta understanding from them.
BoingK
They are active and capable of offering ideas. Lacks meta understanding, tho.

I don't know how players in this rank will behave in Gen 9 BH but they are still worth being mentioned. Being in this rank doesn't necessarily mean they are worse than the players above.

My AAA Player Ranklist
Remember my dear managers, triple AAA is real for tiebreak; pick your players wisely
Players who respect Volcarona and are willing to play more than the same 12 Mons in AAA rn
Players which loose on spot with Teams e.g Corviknight Press or AV Manaphy with no backup plan for Moth and reusing same core every week

Hello this is a PSA to all managers.
Please do not draft me with zero support for BH!
I have noticed that I am going for alarmingly high in all the moccs and while that might change now that a few more players have signed up, it seems pretty likely that I could end up as the sole BH purchase on a team.
If I get drafted solo then I cannot guarantee the sanity of my builds! this may lead to using unhinged teams that lose instantly with a bad matchup.
Preferred support includes my comrade pokejeff as well as anyone who is actually good at BH.
However, I can guarantee that if I get to play inheritance I will also be bringing unhinged builds but they will be the cool kind of unhinged instead of the bad kind.

Hello this is a PSA to all managers.
Please do not draft me with zero support for BH!
I have noticed that I am going for relatively alarmingly high in all the moccs and while that might change now that a few more players have signed up, it seems pretty likely that I could end up as the sole BH purchase on a team.
If I get drafted solo then I cannot guarantee the sanity of my builds! (Nor my own sanity in later rounds!) thismay will lead to using unhinged teams that lose instantly with a bad matchup (see last OMPL).
Preferred support includes almost anyone (though preferably not someone with too distinct of a playstyle)
(Some specific examples of cheap support that work well include augustakira, XxLazzerpenguinxX, and Nihilslave)

This is a 100% serious post btw, please don't draft me as solo BH

Hello this is a PSA to all managers.
Please draft me with zero support for BH!
I have noticed that I am being alarmingly undrafted in all the moccs and while that might change now that I have signed up, it seems pretty likely that I could end up as one of many BH purchases on a team.
If I get drafted solo then I cannot guarantee the sanity of my builds! this may lead to appearances of previously unseen chthonic constructions known only as "stunfisk-g np lugia sand stall", "Normal Pills (Pidgeot-Mega) @ Choice Specs", "the cosmoem team", "av kyub + blissey + scales mblaze + light screen steela quadruple spdef", "iron moth + cobalion balance", and many others. These teams are known to never lose and so if you would like to win every week (except the one where ill be gone), you would do well to not draft me with anyone who respects Pokemon such as Choice Specs Mega Alakazam (not even the fur coat one) in the year 2024.
However, I can guarantee that if I get a therapist then I may eventually be prescribed multiple medications which could have negative effects on my building and playing abilities. There are some very important people who want to see this happen, so please do not listen to anything you hear from moderators, the state, or both regarding this matter. Thank you.

(shoutouts to gimmicky for helping me with this!)
Damn this pool is massive. It's a bit late but I'll be trying to go sifting through them to rank them on an arbitrary personal tierlist, I'll be ranking all manners of potential clickers, builders/support and even those who have a 99% chance that aren't going to be slotted into AAA but as long as they could potentially play or support in AAA, even if they're not available to draft so you can uh use this PR for your predicts I guess. Though the AAA scene is going to be very competitive especially with many managers very competent at the meta I would still make sure to pick up even a lot of the lower ranks, building an army is (probably) beneficial and fun! What do the ranks mean? I don't know lol I'm just kind of going off vibe though I will be taking more into account whether someone really knows the current meta even if their past history is impressive as it's hard to judge off history unless it's pretty extensive. There will probably be some fire clickers that I miss, but I'll only be going through those I know have some AAA knowledge (or have clicked for AAA in the past). Purely OBJECTIVE rankings btw.
S Tier
Atha Building Skill: 10/10 (The Sauce: 3.5/5) Clicking Skill: 9/10
One of the most consistent achievers and players out of the pool. While they obviously are not a perfect player and can falter, on a whole throughout the generation and various metas including this most recent one they have performed consistently well and at a top-tier, being a runner-up for the recent AAA Open and having strong results in a myriad of other tournaments like AAAPL, AAALT and having performed before in OMPL. Though despite their strength idk if 17k for a single AAA slot is entirely advisable, going off these moccs anyway.
Ivar57 Building Skill 9.5/10 (The Sauce: 3.5/5) Clicking Skill: 10/10
A similar story to Atha, though you could say they are great in a myriad of other OMs, Ivar has had standout results at the top of AAA this generation. Winning the most recent AAA Open with wins against other good players like UT, Atha and Lana their strength is undeniable from this tour alone, but still maintaining other strong results in other tours like AAAPL and even the previous AAA Open lol as well at last years OMPL. Their consistency at a top-tier level is unmatched, practically at the same level of Atha.

Quantum Tesseract Building Skill: 8/10 (The Sauce 2.5/5 0/5) (just for pannu) Clicking Skills: 9.5/10
QT is QT, hard to see them ranked anywhere below the great for most metas and AAA is certainly no exception. While they were eliminated early on in AAA Open by Lana, it isn't to much discredit given Lana themselves is a strong player and QT has otherwise strong results in OMWC and going 3-1 in SV AAAPL (the one loss to Ivar). QT is an excellent player and excellent builder no matter where they're slotted, and though they aren't available to be drafted this time, their mere presence in their teamcord is sure to give a massive boost to any other AAA players they draft, let alone if they self-buy.

ghostlike: Building Skills: 9/10 (The Sauce: 4/5) Clicking Skills: 7.5/10
One of the best players and builders in the tier, it's impossible to consider them anything but an amazing pick. A solid AAA Open run as well noted solid support in AAAPL and OMWC combined with continued excellence as a clicker in any tier combines with excellent and innovative teambuilding that can cook up some fire makes them a more than worthy draft. ghostlike is more than functional on their own, and with the right support or teammates they can go toe to toe with the other greats and consistently perform or serve as great support for your clicker if desired.
Isaiah (sign up!!!!) Building Skills: 9/10 (The Sauce: 3.5/5) Clicking Skills: 7.5/10
I remember Isaiah saying that they were going to sign up... Regardless, I'm putting them on this PR. With a respectable showing in AAA Open up to Semifinals, they may not have many other tour showings but I'm confident in their building skill and their ability to click is fine with AAA Opens showing. If they do sign up, I am excited to see what they cook. nvm
Lana: Building Skills: 8/10 (The Sauce: 3.5/5) Clicking Skills: 9/10
A less active player within the community, they nonetheless have shown themselves to be more than a very strong player, having secured a nice runners-up position in AAA Open, a 4-1 run in AAAPL and also having even performed in AAA all the way back in OMPL with a 3-0 in AAA. An excellent clicker and showing some solid teams and sauce in the open, I think they're one of the more underrated picks (at least in moccs) and though not needed with some extra support in the builder they could be one very scary slot.
DeepFriedMagikarp: Building Skills: 9/10 (The Sauce: 3.5/5) Clicking Skills: 7.5/10
Though now with the introduction of PiC into the circuit with its scarce pool DFM might be more desirably slotted into your PiC slot, DFM is nonetheless an excellent AAA player who is more than worthy of their council position. Having shown their prowess in AAAPL, with a solid run 3-1 run in 2AC (and an SV loss to QT, which isn't much of a stain) they have continuously built solid and fire teams throughout the generation and I'm sure even if in the PiC slot would be a more than valuable AAA support.

Glory: Building Skills: 8/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills 7/10
Though an AG main, they've managed to do fairly nicely for themselves in AAA as well. Their tour performances might be a bit less sparse (at least in the AAA department, I was too lazy to find AG tours to scour through) but they've still managed to show their prowess on ladder and have shown off some some fairly good built teams and still are actively cooking and engaging with the current meta. A fairly solid pick to shore up your AAA support and probably would be fine to slot in as your clicker as well.
Slither Wing: Building Skills: 7.5/10 (The Sauce: 2/5) Clicking Skills: 7.5/10
Slither Wing has risen to be one of the best and one of the more underrated players in the pool with solid results in AAA Open, AAALT and in other metas, though many teams would much rather slot them into MnM or Bo3 over AAA. Still however they have shown great capacity to build solid teams and can still provide valuable AAA support if that is your choice, but is a strong player as well if you choose to slot them in AAA or Bo3.
BetticusIV: Building Skills: 8/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 7/10
A more recent addition to the community, they nonetheless have shown themselves to be a strong performer. With very active engagement with the current meta and outputting some solid teams combined with good results in AAA Opens means despite a lack of history compared to other people in this PR I'm fairly confident they could be quite a solid support slot for AAA or even be your slot fine as well. Don't let them go for as cheap as I've seen in the moccs....
racool: Building Skills: ??? (The Sauce: 4.5/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
An older player that I'm not personally too familiar with and thus can't give a very accurate rating (as if any of these ratings are) for how solid their teams will be, though I have heard of their past reputation and seen some of their more recent teams and with QTs support I imagine they'll be more than a solid AAA slot able to compete with other more prominent members in the community just fine.
SammyCe123: Building Skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 2/5) Clicking Skills: 9/10
Sammy a more recent player of notoriety has certainly made themselves quite well know, with extremely strong results in many circuits, with AAA Open being no exception. Their ability to click is out of question to doubt and while I haven't seen anything exceptional they have been able to make some fairly solid teams for the Open still and even performing for a short bit in AAAPL. While it is overwhelmingly likely they will be slotted into the Bo3 slot, against other Bo3 players AAA will not be much of a tier of worry for SammyCe, though might appreciate some extra support to reach their fullest potential.
Career Ended: Building Skills: 7.5/10 (The Sauce: 4/5) Clicking Skills: 8.5/10
A strong overall player and AAA is certainly no exception. While I haven't been able to see much of their skills in more recent metas, their performance in OM Champs should speak for themselves, their clicking ability strong without a shadow of doubt but also being a fairly strong teambuilder if only proven in past metas like OMWC and last years OMPL, I have no doubt they'll be able to cook up some fire once again and be strong support and a strong performer in Bo3's AAA slot especially with potential of extra support.
Greybaum: Building Skills: 8.5/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: ???
Though it is unlikely Greybaum will slot themselves into the AAA slot to play themselves I have no doubt about their ability to build strong teams, having personally built with them in last years OMPL and AAAPL with strong performances in both. Though not participating in AAA Open and so their performance in more recent metas might still be unknown, they have still for the most part kept up and engaged with the meta and I have no doubt that whoever they slot in AAA will have a solid and spicy teambuilding backbone behind them with Greybaum and even sylvi as well.

MZ: Building Skills: ??? (The Sauce: ???) Clicking Skills: 8/10
Though I can't claim to know much about MZ's building skill or really much at all, I do know they've played AAA as a clicker for quite a while with okay performances in last years OMPL and even playing in AAAPL (albeit an entirely different generation). I can't say for quite sure especially since they haven't played much at all outside of these scant tours or in the current meta, but they'd probably be a pretty decent clicker, but make sure you have adequate support for them (though, I doubt that'd be much of an issue with this pool).
abriel: Building Skills: ??? (The Sauce: ???) Clicking Skills: 8/10
abriel exists in a similar boat to MZ, I don't really know much about them and their AAA building skills, though in general has engaged more with the OM community in comparison. Though their performances have mostly been in terms of the last generation with a runner-up in the past Championship and also in other OMs like STAB, if you do decide to slot them into AAA or Bo3 I doubt their skills will be lost much transferring over into this current generation, but likewise, strong support is recommended.
GlalieGoesBoom: Building Skills: 7.5/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 6.5/10
Glalie is a fairly active member in the community, though their record in tours in less spectacular with only a somewhat recent performance in AAALT to their name. Still, it is a fairly respectable result and they have shown their ability to teambuild quite well with their fairly influential stall teams and some other more interesting builds, though I haven't seen much from them recently, if you do get them I'd imagine they will fit as more than suitable AAA support if needed.
Hera: Building Skills: 7.5/10 (The Sauce: 2.5/5) Clicking Skills: 7/10
Hera is a longtime AAA player from SS and still a fairly active player in SV now as well. They have shown themselves as a mostly solid, consistent and well-rounded player overall with good results from AAAPL going 4-2 and also managing to perform fine in AAALT and though I haven't seen too much of their performance in recent metas they should fine as your AAA slot or as support as well.
hariyana grande: Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce: 2.5/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
Ok I am a bit biased but this is my PR so what are you going to do about it. While they aren't particularly well known within the AAA community and hasn't particularly engaged with AAA outside of last years OMPL I did get the pleasure of building for and with them during that OMPL and I can confidently tell you that they are a more than solid clicker at the meta and aren't even the worst builder with their own ideas and contributions. Of course, you will still need some strong support, but paired with a good cooker I'm betting hariyana can make for an AAA slot that can give the more established players a good run for their money.
ojr: Builder skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
ojr is not someone I know too well but from what I can tell is fairly solid AAA player and in general overall player as well teambuilder with pretty strong results in AAAPL (ok to be fair they're kinda cheating they were on an ABSURD team) and also OMWC (or at least I think lol I'm being lazy in checking the actual results...) though haven't seen them engage or play much the current AAA meta. It's unlikely that they'll swallow the 13.5k price to self-buy to slot into such a competitive slot but regardless of who plays their AAA slot, ojr's extra spice in the teambuilder should make some exciting games (also Ivar support... which is kind of cheating)
sylvi: Builder Skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
sylvi is another in the boat of those returning from experience in older AAA metas and though they may not have much experience in the current AAA meta as far I can tell, I have little doubts that they'll be able to get back into the swing of things and start cooking again as they did in last years AAAPL to fine success. It is unlikely too that they'll swallow the 13.5k cost to self-buy but with Greybaum as well the AAA slots will be pretty stacked in terms of support, especially if they elect to buy more if they decide so.
RoFnA: Building Skills 6/10 (The Sauce: 2/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
RoFnA is quite a solid player overall, with good performances in a lot of other metas and is most likely to be slotted in Bo3. For AAA they aren't particularly too bad, though I'm not too aware of any notable performances at the top outside of playing 2AC AAAPL without any notable wins and also making it a decent ways into AAA Open, their teams I haven't seen anything too notable either though I see them high up on ladder regularly with their own teams so they can probably make some fine teams by their own. RoFnA can definitely click but my bets for them depend on what kind of support RoFnA snatches from the auction and with a solid builder their performance in Bo3 AAA should certainly not be underestimated.
Osake: Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
Wtf who revived Osake... Though they may be a corpse recently buried and revitalised, they still hold some fairly strong results in AAA this generation from last years OMPL going a very strong 6-2 (though they got the luckiest matchup against hariyana... never forget dgleam moth atrocity) in AAA and having more recent results in OMWC as well. Despite their inactivity they are still more than a potent AAA slot and could provide some ample sauce as support as well, though, you might want some extra AAA support just to amend the lack of recent experience but still overall a solid choice.
Though I can't claim to know much about MZ's building skill or really much at all, I do know they've played AAA as a clicker for quite a while with okay performances in last years OMPL and even playing in AAAPL (albeit an entirely different generation).

ojr is not someone I know too well but from what I can tell is fairly solid AAA player and in general overall player as well teambuilder with pretty strong results in AAAPL (ok to be fair they're kinda cheating they were on an ABSURD team) and also OMWC (or at least I think lol I'm being lazy in checking the actual results...) though haven't seen them engage or play much the current AAA meta. It's unlikely that they'll swallow the 13.5k price to self-buy to slot into such a competitive slot but regardless of who plays their AAA slot, ojr's extra spice in the teambuilder should make some exciting games (also Ivar support... which is kind of cheating)
sylvi: Builder Skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
sylvi is another in the boat of those returning from experience in older AAA metas and though they may not have much experience in the current AAA meta as far I can tell, I have little doubts that they'll be able to get back into the swing of things and start cooking again as they did in last years AAAPL to fine success. It is unlikely too that they'll swallow the 13.5k cost to self-buy but with Greybaum as well the AAA slots will be pretty stacked in terms of support, especially if they elect to buy more if they decide so.
RoFnA: Building Skills 6/10 (The Sauce: 2/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
RoFnA is quite a solid player overall, with good performances in a lot of other metas and is most likely to be slotted in Bo3. For AAA they aren't particularly too bad, though I'm not too aware of any notable performances at the top outside of playing 2AC AAAPL without any notable wins and also making it a decent ways into AAA Open, their teams I haven't seen anything too notable either though I see them high up on ladder regularly with their own teams so they can probably make some fine teams by their own. RoFnA can definitely click but my bets for them depend on what kind of support RoFnA snatches from the auction and with a solid builder their performance in Bo3 AAA should certainly not be underestimated.
Osake: Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce: 3/5) Clicking Skills: 8/10
Wtf who revived Osake... Though they may be a corpse recently buried and revitalised, they still hold some fairly strong results in AAA this generation from last years OMPL going a very strong 6-2 (though they got the luckiest matchup against hariyana... never forget dgleam moth atrocity) in AAA and having more recent results in OMWC as well. Despite their inactivity they are still more than a potent AAA slot and could provide some ample sauce as support as well, though, you might want some extra AAA support just to amend the lack of recent experience but still overall a solid choice.
Clas: Builder Skills: 6/10 (The Sauce: 1.5/5) Clicking Skills: 7.5/10
While a potent clicker and certainly not bad by any means Clas has as far I can tell lacked any good results in AAA this generation though they have built and played for it in OMWC Bo3 to some success outside it I've rarely seen them play or build for the meta especially recently. Still a very desirable slot for their prowess in other tiers and Bo3 slot but would certainly appreciate some strong extra support if that is a path you decide on.
Kinetic: Builder Skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 2/5) Clicking Skills: 7/10
Certainly not bad by any means. Though I haven't seem them actively build for AAA for quite a while now their history with AAA this generation is fairly respectable having built fairly solid teams in past AAA metas and clicking fine in SM AAA. Pretty decent backup slot and support choice to get for AAA.
Gimmicky: Builder Skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 2.5/5) Clicking Skills: ???
Though without much clear tour results, they have fairly solid meta knowledge, actively engaging and building fine teams for various metas including this current one. Not much else to say, pretty solid AAA support so make sure not to miss out!
Tranquility: Builder Skills: 7/10 (The Sauce: 2/5) Clicking Skills: 7/10
Though they have been out of commission for quite a while, they still are quite a respectable player if only recently getting back into the flow of things. With results outside of AAA and also being great support in last years OMPL, though with increased competition in recent times, I'm sure they can get back into the swing of things in no time and would serve as more than respectable AAA support especially if you decide to build an AAA army. Don't let them go undrafted!!

I'm ngl I'm getting lazy so I will not make any comments for these peeps but that doesn't mean they're bad and can still probably serve as fine support you can pick up for cheap (or alongside whatever other metas you wish to get them for).

Dahness, Gambit_Gamin, Cyril tbh, hisui guy.
These picks aren't bad by any means, I just don't know where to place them cause I don't know enough about them to sus out a rank for them. Atha has their own PR that includes some of them though so uh listen to them probably.
shiloh: Builder Skills: ??? The Sauce: ??? Clicking Skills: Probably good idk.
Yeah I just dont know anything about shiloh. They played uh last OMPL but apart from that pretty much a mystery. Actually this is kind of the same thing for MZ tbh but I just get better vibes from MZ so I'll put shiloh in ??? but uh Atha says they're good so they probably are idk.
Potatochan: Builder Skills: ??? The Sauce: ??? Clicking Skills: Probably good idk.
Similar boat to a lot of others here, I just don't them well at all though they have a very solid performance in AAAPL going 5-3 in the SV slot. Still I don't got enough of a vibe to rate them anywhere but they're probably a good clicker with support idk. (plus free turtle pics)
Fiora: Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce: 5/5) Clicking Skills: ???
Fiora is a bit less unknown to me as I had the pleasure to collaborate with them building AAA for semi-finals of last years OMPL. Though still outside of that and their past reputation I have nothing else to judge them off for this meta though if I can tell you one thing is that they'll cook up heat but outside of that ???
Jrdn: Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce: ???) Clicking Skills: Probably good idk.
I am aware of their highly regarded reputation within the OM community but I don't think I've ever seen them play AAA this generation outside of maybe some random ladder matches very early into the generation. Not in any way saying they are bad but no matter their reputation without having seen them play or build anything AAA for practically the whole generation means I cannot judge them much.
xavgb: Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce: ???) Clicking Skills: 10/10
Similarly xagvb upholds a very loaded reputation though I have actually seen them play games at least this generation if not in AAA. From it their past reputation certainly holds itself still very true now and while true they are other metas I have little doubt in Bo3 AAA xavgb will still be a monster to be reckoned with. Though I have no clue about their AAA building skills this generation and having not even seen them play AAA this generation means I still cannot place them anywhere but ???
LordBox: Clicking Skills: 0/10 Builder Skills: ??? (The Sauce:???)
lol who even is this person (i forgot to put this on my signup but if you draft me please for the love of god do NOT start me thx)
