1: me - obviously
2: marcop - retained
3: zf - the only person listed to not specifically signup for adv. 4th place in callous cup, and a decent looking 3-1 last spl. watch his replays if you want to learn how to play non-preview ou
4: pasy_g - asshole but very good player. one of the most versatile in team selection on the list. 5/6th place in callous cup
5: cyberodin - so long as hes not being actively cteamed he plays very good pkmn. bit of a tendency to use the same playstyle repeatedly. strong looking 4-2 in wcop although early droupout of callous cup
6: eden - master of test games, unstoppable even. tends to have some nerve issues and often doesn't replicate the same play in tour games. middling callous cup exit, 4-3 last spl, 2-1 last wcop.
7: dekzeh - creative almost to a fault. by far the most experience of everyone in the pool. he will play good adv for a fair price. 3-5 spl, fairly early callous cup exit
8: dice - I think I recall him saying he was adamant about gscing but obviously great adver if he ends up here. good idea to get him for gsc/bw and then a rookie adver because he builds tier 1 teams regardless. early callous cup dropout, 2-1 spl
9: alexander - good all around battler although doesn't seem to particularly be a must-buy for adv as opposed to gsc/bw. a little stale with his team selection imo. gives you a ton of juggling options though. in finals of adv championships vs yours truly, 0-3 in wcop
10: sadlysius - a very skilled rookie and he has a penchant for good team selection. I believe this would be his 2nd ever tournament on smogon (was a sub in wcop) so the unknown quantity might be a big issue. won summer seasonal
11: UD - i think he brings really consistently bad teams and plays below average. might be expensive under the guise of being a "true adver" in the pool. r3 callous cup exit, 0-1 wcop, 2-8 spl
12/13/14: garay oak/altina/zokuru - not particularly ordered by battling prowess, but all 3 are rookies to spl adv with team tour exp in other tiers/tours and ordered in terms of exp. all 3 are fairly varied in team selection and will prob take a couple wins against the rest of the pool. garay had a stint in wcop adv, altina / zokuru qualified for championships but saw a r1 exit
15: jirachee - seems pretty coinflippy when it comes to committing to a tour or not. did ok in spl 9, early callous cup exit.
dont have a strong enough opinion to rank for one reason or another: kevin garrett, teclis, danilo
edit: forgot dekzeh just signed up
