[Theia]

art by sleepyzen

​

Welcome to AGPL V! We'll start off by selecting 6 managers. This AGPL will feature 6 teams and so there will be 5 weeks of round robin and 2 weeks of playoffs (not counting any potential tiebreakers). That places the end of the tournament sometime in early-mid August. All teams must have one manager available from June through early August. If you know you won't have access to the internet at any point during that time, you will be able to pick out an assistant manager from the players you draft to act as an assistant manager if you didn't include an assistant manager in your signup post. Failure to send the team's weekly lineup will result in the prior weeks lineup being used.

This year's tier selection is as follows:
- SV
- SV
- SV
- SV
- SS
- USUM
- ORAS
- Best of Three: SV / SS / USUM

If you want to manage a team in AGPL V, make a post below to apply. Managers will be decided by the tournament hosts, teal6 and myself, as well as the AG moderation team. This thread will be open for one week.

Bio, (including accomplishments and why you would make a good manager): On top of me being a mainstay in Anything Goes team tournaments, I made finals of AGSD as a manager in the last edition of the tournament. Dave has like six trophies under his belt as a manager as well between SCL and WCoP.

Additionally, we are currently managing Advanced Premier League, Sword and Shield Premier League, Diamond, Pearl & Platinum Premier League, Video Game Championship Premier League, NeverUsed Premier League and Pet Mods Premier League together.

Not much manager experience, but I play this gen AG + SS AG + have peaked both ladders. I know the ag community decently well, and I have enough builder knowledge + time to help support / test for teammates that our teammates would have some decent support regardless.

Team Name: Marauding Munchlaxes
Bio: Over the last 1.5 months I have kept my hold on the Tours' Leaderboard Champ Position, and so am well versed with the plays and gritties of every generation, along with having constantly battled several top players and learnt from them. I don't have prior managing experience on PS but have managed teams many a competitive battling event outside PS so I'm sure I'll be able to foster a good working relationship between the potential members of the team and I'm confident I can draft a team that will go all the way through!

Intrepid Swordsmen (geysers change your name)
Vaultin’ Veluzas (im disappointed no one’s done this yet)

[Suzuya]

Team Name: Pillsbury Fidough Boys
Assistant Manager (if applicable): Fragments
Bio, (including accomplishments and why you
The cover made his AG return for AGPL V !!

Fragments and I form a fairly complementary duo, as he has management experience and I have the solidity of a mainer.
As I mentioned above, Fragments managed lots of tours like rbtt (twice), umpl, 2v2pl, blt, and cappl (hasn’t missed playoffs in any tour he managed). They also competed in rupl, ompl, 1v1pl and bdsppl as a player. Finally, it should not be forgotten that he is very familiar with the AG pool through his involvement as manager of UMPL.

As for me, it's a bit different. I was recently put in charge of manly melmetal this UPL and it's with great pleasure that I want to continue my adventure as manager. I had the opportunity to familiarise myself with the AG 9G thanks to the AG snake which I won this year and also thanks to the ssnl in which I performed rather well. I've already taken part in 2 AGPLs and 2 OMPLs, with honourable records, which shows how much I've invested in AGs over the last 2 years.

Fragments and I would be delighted to be selected, I hope these words will help you to do the right choice :)

GL TO EVERYONE
