Ok it's time to shout out the sleeper ADVers who should be in the tour. Shout out Iguana for bringing this up.
1) airports. Anyone who's played ADV ladder for longer than a couple of years will remember airports consistently clowning everyone while only using one team. He has come a long way since then and now uses more than one team. He played well in ADVPL and to be quite honest deserved more starting games than he got.
17) Shitrock enjoyer (aka fruhdazi) This kid is the real fucking deal. While he hasn't been on smogon as much, he's torn apart the competition in both ADV league and in the Pokémon Perfect ADV scene this year, winning solo tours and the end of season championships. The only reason he didn't get CI is that he was too low key and people didn't start paying attention until it was too late. If you draft this guy you're in for a treat, he will give it everything and build teams that he will destroy with.
3) giraffefromholland. This guy is good support across tiers and built exclusively for PkLeech, who went deep into his first Callous Invitational from the play ins. Even if you don't buy the guy, get him in a server as a builder/support guy and you've improved your odds immediately.
4) THE918th. Get this guy for 3k and he'll come off your bench and clutch a game. Tidy player for the big occasions.
5) ZacPZ. BO1 demon and all around good guy.
People not to draft
1) Triangles. Fuck that guy.
Fruhdazi has the knowledge and ability, but im unsure of their big stage execution. Gives me Teclis vibes, except they havent had the chance to prove themselves yet. One of those murky 50/50 cases.
Speaking of 50/50s, airports is another one. Super big fan of this wild man despite the memes at his expense. Loved running into him on ladder because you just know you were about to experience something MINDBLOWING.
However, while he has that edge in both playstyle and attitude, his lack of consistency might be his biggest "red flag". It can work well for a team that utilizes this "shortcoming" accordingly, but buying this man as a starter would be big balls territory (albeit great entertainment for the spectators)
P.S. more teams need to employ that strat into their drafting plans. i.e. budgeting for curve ball trainers you can call on in a pinch to clutch a win in wild, unpredictable fashion. #F*ckYourPrep energy
Check daz's PP championships replays from this year, not the stage it once was but he's shown everything he can until he gets drafted for something like this IMO.

Yo, what about an agreement between the players to use the Tera or not during their SV games? Sounds like a good ideaFor SV OU players, there will be a vote on prospective quickbans this weekend that will take effect well before week one of the tournament.
I do not know what Pokemon (or how many — guess is 1-3 total) will be banned yet as the vote has not occurred, but we want everyone to be ready for the tournament to begin a week after the auction, so we will be mindful of this. Thanks, and enjoy the auction this weekend.
