1v1
Been playing for like a bit over 2 years, repping Europe in 1v1wc and repping 1v1 in UMPL. I enter pretty much all the 1v1 tours and tend to do pretty decent.
I peak ladder on tha regular.
If Lebrun James played 1v1 I would probably be a tennis player.
Me beating prominent 1v1 player doctor1201 with ease on the back of a stunning and tense GC win.

RADU#0075

1v1 / 2v2 Doubles

I'm one of the most experienced 1v1 players of all time, been playing for 4 years and built over 1000 1v1 teams. I have a 24-17 record in team tournaments, won 3 current gen individual tournaments and 2 team tournaments, peaked ladder multiple times, and have been tier leader of two old gen 1v1 metagames.
I'm also one of the few people to have posted a 1v1 RMT in recent times.

2v2 Doubles is the other meta I am very experienced in, I won two 2v2pls in a row as a manager, had very successful records in most Teamtours (went 11-2 in 2022 between 2v2pl, OMPL and OMWC), carried multiple people with my teams and made semifinals of the recent SV 2v2 kickoff

1v1
I have been active in the 1v1 community for about 3 years, it being my main tier and being a competent builder whilst mostly using my own teams in tours. I recently won the SV 1v1 Kickoff Tournament too. I have also recently became a Quality Checker for the tier and have written 2 analyses and I don’t expect my devotion to 1v1 to stop anytime soon. I also enjoy teaching new players how to team build and help them out.

National Dex (8)
I’ve been playing the tier very consistently for over a year now at this point some achievements that I have reached in this tier are playing in NDPL this year to a 2-2 record but I was mainly a building slot, helping my friends Derp and Raptor go to 7-0 and 5-2 records respectively. This year I also made semifinals of the Summer Seasonal, peaked ladder at 2k, and currently have a viable sample team. Anyone can vouch for me as a player and builder in the current gen8nd metagame.

[wesh papillon]

Discord: papillon#5747
Tier: lc
Experience: I wasn’t super active for most of ss but when I did play i typically placed ok. Top 4 in 2021 circuit. 2022 was very tough for me but I still almost qualified (top 13 lol) despite being afk for most the year. I’ve been very active tho behind the scenes helping to build for a 1st 2nd place finishing lcpl team, a very active player/ builder in a top 4 lcwc team and had a very active hand in teambuulding in an scl team that had a positive lc record (uncharted terrors).

Experience for gen9 lc: I’ve been doing a somewhat good job at staying on top of the tier. I’m really active on discord when ppl are asking for advice teambuilding including other top players and ppl playing in team tournaments. I’ve also been laddering someone consistently and I’ve topped ladder a couple times so for what it’s worth I am aware of ladder trends and such.

Edit: Oh yeah I also have a Youtube channel for LC content.

Pyramid Peril (SS Team Showcase RMT)

[NeonJolteonWasUsed]

Discord User: Neon
Metagame: SS OverUsed
Summary: Played Sword and Shield since day 1 of the meta, and since then I have made several (productive) contributions to the Sword and Shield OU VR, and continue to be highly active on the ladder, and in general discussion of the metagame.
How I've shown my knowledge: I have created a RMT in late August that was nominated for one of the teams of the month, as well as having been highly engaged in discussion of the metagame, as well as assisting in teambuilding in the main Smogon Discord (when it was the newest generation), and BKC's Swsh Discussion Channel in their Discord server, where I would also help teambuild and further discuss the metagame.

Thank you for your consideration. I've grown quite attached to SSOU and would love to help further contribute to the growth of the tier.
