Tournament RUBD I: Commencement Thread

Cool draft with in my opinion 6 competitive teams. Shoutouts to MJ for drafting so many RU mainers.
That being said here are my personal post draft Power Rankings:

1.
Ngl this looks more like an old gen draft than a tour that has 5 SV slots. However, all of these players can also be slotted in SV, so it's not really an issue. This also makes predicting the line up impossible, there are so many viable configurations. I do think they have the best players overall. The main risk for this team will be motivation, and if they fail it will most likely be due to lack of it. If they can manage to keep motivation up, they are for sure a team to be reckoned with!

Predicted Line up:
SV1: zS
SV2: Feliburn
SV3: temp
SV4: Beleth
SV5: Bouff
SS: dunoks
SM: GoldCat
ORAS: Lighthouses
BW: Accel
ADV: BP

The brazilian team. This team looks very balanced and strong overall to me. There is a great mix of old gen knowledge, new gen builders, playing talent and new faces. I also think the motivation and atmosphere in this team will be good. From all teams I would probably lock them in first for play offs.

Predicted Line up:
SV1: Sabella
SV2: JustFranco
SV3: Jojen
SV4: sufys
SV5: Django
SS: Ryu
SM: cyanize
ORAS: Beraldo
BW: Ninjadog
ADV: Heysup

This team has a lot of relatively new faces to the RU scene. Most of the line up had their first RU teamtour in ruwc or rugl this year. However, most of them showed they are capable so the potential is definitely there. And even if that doesn't work out, this team has a couple veteran players who proved theirselves multiple times already.
Predicted Line up:
SV1: THE_CHUNGLER
SV2: Floss
SV3: Piyu
SV4: Hacker
SV5: hi.naming is hard
SS: sol
SM: xXcrossbowXx
ORAS: Real FV13
BW: neomon
ADV: Msousa

I'm not sure what to make of this team. It is kinda all over the place, both playerwise as character wise. Very intrigued how the team cord will be. Whether this team will do well mainly depends on whether they can bond as a team, and how certain questionmark slots will perform. This team has a lot of players who I could see farming the pool, but I also wouldn't be surprised to find them with a negative record at the end of the season. Looking forward to see what it will be
Predicted Line up:
SV1: Kushalos
SV2: feen
SV3: FlamPoke
SV4: Ryuji
SV5: Lana
SS: OranBerryBlissey10
SM: DugZa
ORAS: MrAldo
BW: Seraphz

MJ has definitely made the best draft in terms of including (new) RU mainers. A good portion of this team consists of RU mainers who still have to prove theirselves in the tour scene. I hope to see some of them to show up in this RUBD. Together with some players who are very hot at the moment they could definitely make a push for play offs!
Predicted Line up:
SV1: Guille
SV2: Metallica126
SV3: Sir Tetris
SV4: Kindyy
SV5: Leni
SS: Taka
SM: BloodAce
ORAS: Chaitanya
BW: Sneakyplanner
ADV: plznostep

If you showed me this team without telling me the managers, I would for sure have guessed that Evi drafted it...
Besides that it is definitely a team with good players all across the draft. My main concern for this team is how much the players will care for this tour and put in time to prep. If that is not the case I could see them struggle. Up to the managers to create a positive and competitive atmosphere and prove me wrong.
Predicted Line up:
SV1: Tsuki
SV2: Cielau
SV3: Lily
SV4: ishtar
SV5: asa
SS: TheStrap
SM: EviGaro
ORAS: RufflesPro
BW: fran17
ADV: SpoiledBerries

Like I said above, I think all teams are competitive and have serious play offs chances. Excited to see new players and new managers duke it out.
Best of luck to everyone and have fun!
