Resource Post OMFL V Thread

had an unfortunate 3-3 season that started off on a bad foot, but I’m very proud of my team for making it to finals and I’m very impressed with Osake and Pala’s managing. Definitely looking forward to the next iteration of farm, and hopefully I can roll into an mnm slot again. Very fun but very unbalanced meta rn imo, but that’s always what mnm feels like during an ompl because we have some incredible players on the site pushing the limits.

Thanks again to Osake and Pala, it’s always a pleasure I’m looking forward to getting managed by you again in the future

thanks to Stolen ID and Shing for helping me test throughout the season, got me on my feet for most of my games and looking forward to teaming with y’all in the future.

Thanks to all of my opponents for making this a great season, especially TKYSZL for being my only unavenged loss. I madly respect u as a player, but please learn to play something that isn’t HO :psysad: You remind me of me as a player in the past though which says a lot about your future on the site. GL in the future and I’ll be keeping a close eye on your performance.

Finally, shoutout to the hosts and other players. Smogon is great because of tournaments like this, and I’m already excited for next year’s iteration of OMFL!
 
Gg guys, incredible run from Psycho Psyducks . I never expected that we could win the OMFL ngl but my players were so good and we had broken supporters. I'm glad we tried our best and won this tour together. Here is 5-min shoutout post
zastra this guy sucks, he is the worst person in our cord but that's okay, other ppl can carry. Thank you for your moral support even though it's not so important jk
sealoo goatlooooo I don't know why people let me draft you 8k tbh. It was definitely a steal. The moment we got you, I knew I didn't have to worry about my aaa slot and you would definitely go positive
Hiusi guy our first time working together and I hope you have fun :> I was wondering if anyone on our team wants to play BH eeeeeeeee. Thanks for playing that tier
Rei friend, I know some games didn't go the way you want but its okay, at least we won this tour
Fluore I have seen you do well in many tournaments, you are a really good clicker tho , can play any level with given teams
Byleth broken player in omfl ngl. You carried our Inh slot yourself because none of us can help w this tier L
TKYSZL another cat lover. You've gone crazy over this OMFL. Your builds and plays really impressed me. This guy should be in OMPL next year ngl. I'm glad you managed to win your games w some of my stupid ideas but at least it worked, lol
bleahey ARTYMASION big tony 2014 i know yall didn't have a chance to play more games (blame zas) but your support in each tier were great, really appreciate it
LordBox RoFnA TTTech these OM guys love me. They join my team in every teamtour and they are one of the main reasons why we won this OMFL.
s/o other helpers too :) Gimmicky Velcroc Arcanine1929 cscl Concept Everything Yoru97 Metany seth pannu PociekMociek

Thanks for drafting me Gimmicky and Slither Wing, I had a lot of fun playing this year and think you both did great as managers. I’ll post some of my MnM techs and threats I think are underutilized in the tier later this week. I was only able to go 3-0, but I feel like I could have supported some of the other tiers better. Also thanks zastra and SpaceSpeakers for letting me join your team discord to support TK in the finals!
 
Feels good to finally win a team tour. We wouldn't have won without the combined efforts of all our players and helpers, and this is a shoutouts post dedicated to all of the Psyducks and Swannas. This won't be like, a LONG post or anything cuz I'm not well. The order is AAA-->Inh (and then subs and helpers)

sealoo what an amazing season, I knew 8k for u was a steal. You also put in lots of effort in building. Great job pal. #PokerichxPsyducks

Hiusi guy You are a good player with a ton of potential and won when it mattered. Keep it up. :psyglad:

Rei This is the second time I have drafted you for a team tour. You are a good friend and always fun to team up with (except when you're drunk), and a good player too. Great finals win.

Fluore We slotted you in like 3 tiers LOL. You're an amazing player and your wins were impressive, and I rly appreciate the fact that you were willing to be slotted everywhere and never complained; great job and you def deserve this win.

TKYSZL MY BROTHER, the moment I scouted you I knew you had a ton of potential. And I wasn't wrong. Absolutely insane season, and as space said you for sure deserve to be in OMPL. @managers i vouch for tky.

Byleth The moment I saw you sign up, I knew we had to draft you. I also knew that you'd be quite expensive, but i didn't care, and I'm so glad we were able to get you. You dominated the inheritance pool, and ur builds and wins never failed to wow me. Great job :psyglad:

bleahey big tony 2014 ARTYMASION I'm SO SORRY y'all couldn't play as many games as I initially wanted y'all to, but u played well in the games that you did and were also fun to chat with. Just wanted to say, y'all have a ton of potential and you could rly do well in OMs if you wanted to. Great job everyone, and sorry again.

Now for support...
LordBox you carried our aaa slot and I can't thank you enough for it. Ty sm and your enthusiasm for aaa is amazing

TTTech thank you for handling our bh and gg building :pray:

RoFnA thank you for your broken stab teams

Thank you Velcroc Metany Arcanine1929 Yoru97 for sticking with us all tour (or at least, most of it). Thank you PociekMociek for helping fluore.
Thank you Concept Everything (ur psyspam idea was cool) Gimmicky cscl and ig seth for helping (and shitposting). also apparently pannu did smth so s/o to him too? :smogduck: i have been tricked-- negative s/o to pannu for doing nothing

And finally negative shoutouts to SpaceSpeakers for writing shit things about me in his shoutouts post >:( (ty for agreeing to manage w me)
If i forgot someone, I'm rly sorry, I'm sleepy.

:smogduck:

I may make a more detailed post when I get back home but

This was the first tour I ever hosted and all of the managers and players genuinely made it a joy to host. Thank you so much everyone for making it a relatively peaceful experience and I really really enjoyed the quality of games this time out!

Isaiah thanks for helping me out a dozen at the start, as a new host I almost certainly pestered you unnecessarily with questions but you were patient and knowledgeable and always willing to help. Tysm!

velvet Akeras awesome co hosts, made my job a lot easier and covered for me when I couldnt do my job properly, especially in the auction. Tysm, and hope to host with you in the future!
 
All the teams I used was passed by Kinetic (thank you again appreciate having me covered teamwise every week). The only team that was mine was the one I used our last week in which we were already out and didn't matter what I used at this point, so I felt confident loading leads and clickers my favorite thing to play in every generation/format I play.

:deoxys-speed::iron-valiant::gyarados::darkrai::kingambit::ogerpon-hearthflame:

I made last minute changes before the game in both valiant and gyarados for mach punch > encore and substitute > earthquake respectively so I can feel safer into Bullet Punch Gambit/Spin Pex respectively. I loaded into rain :pain: the matchup I absolutely didn't want but fortunately Booster Val spooked BloodAce enough to switch out the Bolt.

Stabmons is a cool meta that I probably won't ever fully understand without some serious investment into it, but if you're reading this and curious about playing you should give it a try. My novice opinion aside I do think both rain and sun are a little too strong or feel very cheesy to play against without loading something like ttar or very specific picks. Idk if the solution (if there needs be one to begin with) is to ban specific mons or moves, but i'd probably would just prefer the former after Electro Shot hopefully is banned. The recent bans definitely help though so thanks to all the STABmons people running format.

---

As an aside I also helped with a lot of testing for GG with Cyril, soaking up info from various posts on the forums and OMPL as well to figure out concepts/ideas. Godly Gift is extremely fun but Tera definitely needs to be removed from the format for it to be considered balanced or at least head in that direction. There's too many wonky interactions that offensive teams can pull off to break a game completely open in conjunction with the Gods and various pairings.

Thank you again to the pichus for having me. Looking forward to next year.
