Tournament PUPL VI Discussion Thread

[Akir]

Since there have been a few mock auctions already, I decided to go ahead and post this thread early. Discuss whatever you want here about PUPL VI, this is hopefully going to remain a casual thread.

Here is Player Signups

Here is the Preamble Thread

Here is the Admin Thread

Loaking Drakloaks actually got logo done for this tournament and I simply can't thank enough brzozod526. Such amazing work and loving it top to bottom, thanks a lot man once again!

Prediction: All the managers will draft players

(this is a joke, pls don't hurt me :3)

 

[ManOfMany]

I'm not drafting anyone who got picked in any of the Mock auctions.

 

[TJ]

[Aaronboyer]

With as many tier changes as DPP and BW has had since PUPL V, I look forward to seeing what kind of metagame development and techs will emerge from PU Old Gens this PUPL. Best of luck to everyone getting drafted and picking up wins for their PUPL teams.

So, I got taken in the 1st, shortened 3rd, 4th, and now here in the 6th mock. I know these things are simply mocks and mean nothing to the real deal, but I'm not sure whether to feel good about this and expect to be picked (let alone nommed), or if it's going to be a 3rd year in the stands with the fans. I mean, MZ picked me in this one so that's got to count for something right? lol

Mocks mean absolutely nothing. If I'm being bought for 30k when I literally don't have a legal gen8 pu team, then the reliability is :poo:
