These manager pair selections have got to be a joke. At first, I thought that its better to stay silent and let it pass, but on reconsidering it, I think it sets a dangerous precedent for the future. From what I understand, there are two primary qualities that the host looks for in any manager that has signed up.
Competence and experience in said tiers
Team chemistry /Ability to lead a team

One can argue about the weightage of said qualities, but everyone agrees that these are what every manager should have at the bare minimum. If you sign up to manage, it means that you back yourself in both these departments. Its then the host's job to use their best judgement to pick the best out of the bunch, for the overall health and success of the tournament. That does not seem to be the case here.

One look at the manager pairs, and anyone that has been keeping up with ZU in recent times will tell you that something is off.

I just want to make a joke but... this would have been different if you stayed with zause as a co-manager.

sucks for our run to end with one of the worst weeks playing-wise we've had in the entire tour. so many throws from multiple people (including me, i'm the first to be guilty) really make you go out of the tour with a sour mouth, thinking about what could've been. anyway, it was a very cool experience, and a good run overall, so big thanks to everyone.

Drud again thanks for wanting to manage with me and trusting me with selfbuying, sorry that i couldn't give the record you might've expected but teaming w you was a great experience, i learned a lot on how to properly manage a team. also you're still the goat of dpp but please stop running teams with an average speed of 2. yache chatot.

Jett TWiTT clean goated shadow managers. ty twitt in particular for all the discussions in the oras channel

PTKmoekyuun rats' best sv, which is saying a lot about the state of our slots. for the love of god stop using mabo slash weezer lax on every team

Xrn you might be the goat of bw BUT we forced you to play sv haha get fucked. fr tho thanks for being down to pick up the tier when we really needed it

TakingNotesKinda i'm still a big fan of how you build and approach the tier, hopefully the tour was useful to get more into the right mindset ingame

seraphz master of "we ball", picking up whatever i fed you and piloting it with no complaints (thwackey is a good mon don't you dare)

Tack sm didn't work out, but you did amazing in bw. we should've forced xrn in sv from week 1 maybe

sugar ovens came off the bench midtour and did wonders. i really like how you approach the tier, keep killing it

Ruffles irl stuff was hard sabotaging you but your building creativity is unmatched and your ingame is fantastic. wish you could've played more cause i loved seeing you prep

S1nn0hC0nfirm3d you are the worst player on this entire website, l2p bozo

czim unc still hella got it. crazy good record for someone we just wanted to upbid for the pekos :^)

Shadow079 you went 0-4 AND you didn't even ragebait 7 ppl? wake up buddy

Premonitions Wesleyy Joaf thanks for being on board, wesley for subbing in when needed and joaf for all the adv help. charm thanks for being always free for testing but please don't you dare lock out of everything again.

Baoba Tizio Hachimaki BeatsBlack thanks for hopping on board for poffs, really appreciated

zause "saviour of our sv" my ASS we did even WORSE with you on board fuck u
 
We actually did it... I was never stressing more for a tournament than this one and I probably won't stress more for one, at least until next zupl. Shoutouts to all my teammates besides my managers, it was a lot of fun making Toto go bald with you and thanks for carrying me in finals

Esteb4n - Idk what I would have done without Esteben, he was my main testing partner for the majority of the tour and truly a great guy who always brightened the mood in the teamcord. Despite not playing zu much before this he picked up the tier fast and was always motivated to learn more about the tier. I hope to see him again next year so toto can lose even more hair. GO BEN GO BEN

Trichotomy - despite making me crash out in semi finals by not clicking a certain move with Sandslash, trichhotomy always turned up when we needed him to do so the most. Saved us from losing in semi finals and closed out finals for us confidently. I hope the pekos w cheered you up a bit after the eagles loss :paintoto:

AstilCodex - Not gonna lie bro was way more active until we actually got him on the team in w3 :ben: He's a peko oldhead though so glad he's here with us for the first W of many

TheFranklin - unfortunately we made him play the worst tier ever made again but he still did amazing nonetheless. I think this guy has never choked a game in his life. He was a part of the team since almost the beginning and finally got the well-deserved trophy. Hopefully next year he will get to play something else

btboy - I was seriously doubting after the first 2 weeks, but unc still got it. He also got a gun. The way btben clicks super effective move every turn cannot be replicated. In all seriousness I could always rely on unc. Whenever he saw me resting, he helped me. When we saw someone working, we moved away as to not disturb them.

HAVOCKNIGHT - MVP of the team, the real manager helping in every tier besides like ADV and SS,
Crazy builder and player, basically went undefeated in his tier besides games lost to hax, and helped plague to a great record in dpp with his teams too. Insane improvement from last ZUPL. Havocknight is thanos

Foolycl - fooly-chan unfortunately ended with a negative record after losing a 50/50 to 5hax in finals but I think he still did pretty well, considering it's his first time playing bw zu and it's in my opinion probably the most punishing / hardest to play zu gen. Hop on amq

Plague - bro never liked my posts and kept calling me Ben I will never forgive him. But hating fish anemometer together was great

Fogbound Lake - What can I say... stall is broken. Hop on amq

Melninja - very wholesome dude, he was super active and I liked teaming with him despite never getting to play against him because bro only plays adv :ben:. Send pictures when you go to the marathon with Esteben

Hubriz - die Ziege

fish anemometer - Despite doing absolutely unforgivable cancering for most of the regular season and especially semi finals tiebreak, he turned up super hard in finals. I hope you live a wonderful life with your wife and many children. Hop on amq

Toto - got a paste here? Bruh its Wednesday and nobody scheduled DOOOOOMED

czim - sorry for betraying you unc, we have all dishonored our families. We love you forever, btboy and toto are bald

Tack - sorry as well and I will load HP grass on walrein from now on

And lastly

zause - We couldn't have done this without you

Very cool tour, a bit sad that the tour ends because pekos was an amazing team with very cool vibes. zu is a fun tier + my plays were appreciated by my cap which was the most important

1759766560036.png


i got super lucky overall on the season so I could hopefully bring some wins to my team so happy about that.
1759766371041.png

s/o

zause : First the player that had made us win th tour : bolding against us and helping us from the shadow is really a goat move. Toto told us many times you were the greatest sv zu player and i have to agree. ( seriously good job for your great ssn)

fish anemometer : BEN + ty for not letting me on big tony 2014 's team on the auction. For real that was really cool to have you on my team for once, it made zu much easier to learn and you always have some cool cooks. Continue cancering other tours you have good reasons to do so

yo cho : it was a very cool experience to team with you. I wouldn't have done as good without my luck and your builds. ty for helping me with teams and tests but more importantly it was just a lot of fun to team. Hope we team again soon GO BEN GO BEN

Trichotomy : I'm not playing any other tests with you for obvious reasons. For real ty for the carry in playoffs


TheFranklin : I am never stressed when you play cause it's most of the time resulting in a win. ty for carrying

btboy : great storytelling btben + gz for your first zu win
1759766509687.png


HAVOCKNIGHT : true goat with the undeafeated season. Should be undeafeted tour but it's mons so happens. Ty for always helping my slot and cheering before games !

Foolycl : subscribe + BEN : https://www.youtube.com/@foolyclx. When a BW ZU vid with fish anemometer ?

Plague : We can always count on you on those oldgens. Very good tour overall and you bring good vibes to the team which is quite nice !

Fogbound Lake : Stall master ty for carry on playoffs

AstilCodex : Our supersub ty for good vibes

Hubriz : Stop winning every tour you enter bro !

Melninja : LA FRONCE ! ADV ZU goat very disserved win

Toto : 0 wins this tour + bald. At the end of the day it was a fun tour, glad you can finally win this one now you can retire from managing (for the good of every peko player) !

Better late than never. Honestly even tho we lost in finals due to being outplayed/a couple unfortunate games i can't be mad with how we played. Tried our best but steroids pekos just pushed through. So just quickly wanna S/O the team.

Firstly thank you Irene for signing up with me and even tho you had negative lines it was still fun.

BaitWiz honestly in a way my co-man for this tour. Always bringing good energy and insane commitment and help in multiple tiers, not to mention subbing in multiple times when something came up for multiple players.

Pokeslice even tho you had some unfortunate games you still managed to pull a pretty good record, great SS core alongside bait. Ty for tanking this crazy gen.

Terracotta super happy we were able to get you. Put in insane numbers with awesome builds and great games, loved seeing your channel every week. Also super happy i was able to make it this far with a bro.
Also great SV teams. Building for multiple tiers was a great help.

DugZa another sick season, sorry we couldn't get you the win to annoy drud but thanks for playing every week.

5Dots people doubted the BW 5dots, but you defo proved them wrong. Putting up an insane season and being the main supporter and bullder in ORAS while helping out for multiple tiers, super happy i could get you two years in a row.

HSOWA best DPP record in the tour (we don't talk about that finals game where the stars aligned against specifically you ).Putting in insane numbers with some sick teams, supper happy to be able to team with you again bro.

plznostep istg one day we'll win a tour together and not just make PO. Great ADV lower tier guy and defo carried the ADV slot with minimal support until PO and insane numbers too.

TJ DripLegend LB great pilots, TJ carrying the SV core with an insane record and all he asked for was a volt immune and he cooked. Unfort szn for drip but i know your better than your season implies king. Lb you may be ass but your good at the game, keep winning shit.

PlayaBeavs a last second recommendation, you put in great effort and good games , with some unfortunate ones near the end but i know after a few more tournaments appearances your gonna be a huge threat.

lettuce probably the most active SV slot we had. Unfortunate start of the season but you defo made up with it with building a majority of the teams and your end season games. Hope we can team again soon.

LBN super happy to team with you again bro. Your builds while they didn't always cook as much as we thought where still awesome, good record too.


Mirbro wooper while you guys didn't play a game you where good precenses even with the low-ish activity i still really enjoyed having y'all play on crams again <3.


S/O to the support even tho y'all all joined in at the end for PO y'all where still helpful and super happy y'all wanted to help around diegoyuhhi zause 5gen Still in the cut big tony 2014 Zpice Michael Jordan Apagogie



May see y'all next year even tho i probably won't have enough time to solo manage for a third time. But crams will always crush expectations so if i do come round again next year HMU, after a semi and finals appearance the script says CRAMS SZN 2K26 !
 
Day 1829 : Toto shoutouts
Its finally happened after 5 years of managing this tour. Pekos have won ZUPL and thus I am required do to shoutouts. But before that a little backstory on pekos. It all started in ZUPL 3 where I was the solo manger and succeeded to somehow make playoffs on debut despite have little to no experience. Fast-forward 2 years and we find ourselves in finals tiebreak against the reigning champs frees. Heartbreak strikes though and we fall at the final hurdle. At the time I was pretty upset but in hindsight we significantly overperformed with our roster and weren't the best team of the tour. That couldn't be said for the following year however which made losing in tiebreak to frees again hurt even worse. Our roster was stacked and we were 1st seed going into playoffs. At this point I was questioning myself if I could win and was ready to give up. I decided to give it one final go though with some convincing and I'm glad I did. This years roster was just as good if not better than last years and we cruised to 1st seed yet again and won the tour! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

btboy - My partner in crime who has been by my side for all 5 years. I could not have won this tour without you. Over the years you have put in crazy support and activity and always put a smile on my face with your humour. Our oldgen skills complement each other perfectly with you being a master of SM/BW/DPP and myself handling SS/ORAS (insert NO ADV gif). However, because everybody knows this though you always get upbid every year. This year was different though, one could say that you were actually an underpay? Btboy getting 5 wins in SM ZU? Basically carrying the team.

HAVOCKNIGHT - Ok serious talk now onto the real carry on the team and maybe the best retain of all time? When me and fish were discussing our retains options your name popped up straight away, which is saying something as we had at least 5 very good retain/self buy options that other teams would kill for and we could only pick 3. We definitely made the right choice though, your pure perfection. A monster support wise in every slot, have previous tour winning manager experience and main the gen which is notoriously a headache to draft & support? You really cant get much better. Oh wait, it does get better as you went undefeated in the regular season?!


TheFranklin - My star player over the years Mr consistency with an insane 22-7 record over 4 years of being a peko. Like btboy you are never cheap and always get upbid, however unlike btboy you are actually worth it every time. Its always reassuring whenever I see your the next scheduled game cause I know a win is most likely incoming. On top of all that you are just a genuinely good guy. Always a pleasure to be around and glad you have stuck with me for all these years when your so busy and have more important tours to be in.

yo cho - SV GOAT. I owe you big time for carrying me the past 2 years in SV as the main builder. I did try to draft you with support both times but you know what happened. Your play is also impeccable with a fantastic record both seasons even when I'm actively slotting your into other teams hardest players while fishing is drowning in sv4 half the time. Your semis tiebreak game was amazing to watch and a turning point of success for the tour win. If you ever need someone to ping you asking for pastes you know where to find me.

fish anemometer - SV GOAT? nah. Cancer goat maybe. I'm glad I got to manage with you though and despite all the cancer jokes this season I know you put in the effort and cared alot about the team and wanting to help us win. I still haven't and will never forgive you though for cancering the first few weeks when I drafted you 2 years ago cause you thought you got drafted to a bad team and then you wouldn't let me retain you and you jumped ship to manage the flamencos instead. BRUH. Luckily im the PU GOAT and went undefeated in PUWC so had you in a binding contact to manage with me this year so welcome home.

Esteb4n - To this day I still don't know if your actually good at mons or not or just lucky. Many people would probably describe me that way too though and a 6-2 record is pretty good though so ill give you the benefit of the doubt. Fish approves of you too so there that too I guess. Although after this season I'm not sure if trusting fish's opinion is a good thing. Your activity and motivation is something that I can definitely appreciate though, always up for test games and tried your best a building too. Also your a great emote spammer.

Trichotomy - Ok now this guy is good at mons for sure in comparison to esteben. Even if we did carry you in reg season you more than made up for it in playoffs which is what matters. You also tested frequently and were very reasonable with our sv teambuilding crisis at times and being up to use anything for the good of the team.

Foolycl - BW GOAT? Ok maybe not but you did an amazing job nonetheless with this tier. BW is a coinflip tier so our plan was always to get a cheap slot there and you cant really ask for much more than a neutral record. When fish suggested or more so told me we were getting you I was not completely convinced but I couldn't really complain as I told fish we were breaking the bank for btboy so I let fish get their btboy equivalent. I was pleasantly surprised though as you were really fun to team with and also good at mons.

Plague - Havock had high praise of you pre draft and now I can see why. Your a machine in DPP! I know you were a little upset from going 3-0 into 3-3 for reg season and not replicating your Olympiad success but after your break week w7 you came back stronger and rejuvenated in playoffs being one of the few players to go 2-0 in playoffs.

Fogbound Lake - Not gunna lie when we fumbled getting czim for adv we were all pretty distraught. That didn't last long however as we had to choose a replacement quickly as we all decided that you were the next best choice and I can confidently say that we were right. One thing that I did not expect however was how active you would be prep wise. In the early weeks especially if was amazing to watch you and melninja cook up ideas and test so thoroughly. You also stepped up for us as our counterpick tier in tiebreak so I will be forever grateful even if you did cancer finals and stress me out every other week with your scheduling.

Melninja - Crazy active and contagious enthusiasm towards ADV and the team in general. I wish we could have got you to play more games but atleast you got a couple reps in with a 6-0 beatdown nonetheless.

AstilCodex - The supersub and old friend from ZUPL 3 reunited after all this time. I still hate fish for not drafting you when I had to leave midraft but it worked out in the end so all is good. Wish you also could have played a couple more games but the one you did play were impressive for the little amount of time and knowledge with current sv.

Hubriz - dpp-the-hubrizzler-feat-mommy-thighs. I keep repeating myself here but this is the last time. Which you could have played more games and showed us the power of slaking. You've been an insane pickup over the past 2 years. I'm not sure why the other manager keep letting me pick you up for cheap. Hope you enjoyed bench riding this tour.
