[Huntofthelion]

Shoddy Battle nick: Huntofthelion.
Age: 15
Time zone: Eastern
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Really flexible hours, so I can meet with a tutor any time as long as its a reasonable time.
Do you want to play in the tournament: Yes, but I'm not signing up for OU so I'm not sure if I can.
Experience level: Coming up on the year anniversary, gotten decent at OU and Uber.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): CaP/LC, UU, NU
A little about myself: Just your average 15 year old guy, nothing extraordinary. Been playing this game for a while, and getting a little bored of the standard tiers. After trying to learn LC in a day, I realized it might take a little longer =\. So since this is up I thought I'd apply for some help. I'm also trying to become more involved, so a tutor that is a contributer or something would be cool.
