Tournaments SMPL II - Managers Signups

[Clementine]

Welcome to the second edition of the Sun & Moon Premier League! This thread is for the signups for those who wish to manage in the tour. Information about the tournament can be found in the SM OU Discord server. The hosts for this edition of SMPL are Rae, Javi and Clementine.

There will be 6 teams for this tournament.
When signing up, YOU MUST SIGN UP WITH AN ASSISTANT MANAGER and state who they are. ONLY ONE OF THE TWO MANAGERS will be able to purchase themselves for 15k credits prior to the draft if they wish to do so.

Please sign up using the following format:

Manager:
Assistant Manager:
Team Name:

Managers will be chosen based on experience in SM tournaments, their level of involvement in the community and knowledge of the playerbase, their general competence, and prowess in managing in other high level tournaments in other tiers. If you do sign up, it would be worth explaining why you and your assistant manager would be good picks with relation to the above criteria.

The 10 Slots for this tournament are:

SM Ubers
SM OU
SM OU
SM OU [Suspect Slot]
SM DOU
SM UU
SM RU
SM NU
SM PU
SM LC

Tiers and number of slots are subject to change.
The SM OU [Suspect Slot] will be similar to last year's Suspect Slot. We'll post more informations in the near future.

Signups will close on Friday March 17th, 11:59 PM GMT+1.

 

[Larry]

Manager: Leru
Assistant Manager: Stone Cold
Team Name: Dave's Darmanitans

Both Stone Cold and me have experience managing several official team tournaments and I am positive on the sheet in all of SM OU, SM Ubers, SM UU and SM NU. I also won the SM PU Cup, so we will be able to support the majority of tiers in the tournament.

 

[fakenagol]

Manager: fakenagol
Assistant Manager: ABR
Team Name: Abr's Alakazams

Me and ABR go way back since 2019 when we shared a mutual server together. He's also considered to be a top 5 player of all time. Empo also considers me a top 5 player of all time so I guess it's not fair that two top 5 players of all time get a team? haha joking! Anyways, ABR, my good buddy, is currently managing the Wifi Wolfpack right now with Tony and shows great leadership skills as his team is doing well and can potentially make it to playoffs. ABR in addition to this is positive on the sheet, has won SPL multiple times and has won WCOP with team US East and also teamed with afrabs in 2013 as well too.

Furthermore, me and ABR have great individualistic success. I have won stour (twice), ost (once), and slam (once) too. I am currently in SPL and my team is currently in playoff potential. ABR also has won stour, ost, and classic. ABR's OST win was also in SM as well vs ben gay. I guess you can we would be a good team together. We would be like the Steve Nash of pokemon, successful individual careers turned to cioaches like his tenure with the Nets before he got fired.

With ABR's great leadership experience, playing ability, and his fantastic teambuilding, we are surely to become the next dynasty in SMPL

 

[Excal]

Manager: Excal
Assistant Manager: HANTSUKI
Team Name: DPL Diancies

Hantsuki and I simply go way back, having a great run in DPL together. We also have complimentary synergy, as Hantsuki won SPL as a manager and I am currently managing a bottom-placing SPL team. This is also quite simply a great time to sign up, as brazilians may soon become endangered on smogon. We are really looking forward to this wonderful opportunity as we just can't see a universe where we lose with our unparalleled expertise and wisdom!
