Bio: As of my recent demotion from all positions in ZU, I am now one of the chosen few to reach the status of “disgraced” (or formerly disgraced) in all four of the tiers participating in this tournament! Fortunately, I have gained a plethora of knowledge of both the playerbases and the metas themselves of all four communities to a level that I doubt many others actually posses. While my ego used to be a hinderance in the past, a somewhat sobering OMPL experience taught me that perhaps I cannot singlehandedly roll the entire NFE playerbase and that they deserve more respect than I had given them.
However, despite my poor OMPL showing in NFE, my recent promotion to Silver IV in League of Legends (prior to my account getting permanently banned for toxicity) has given me the confidence I needed to know I have the ability to draft a winning team with mental fortitude of steel (luckily, only one of the hosts is a dirty Kai’sa abuser like myself and won’t tell the other two I’m ELO-inflated).
I have had a deep history in all of the tiers in this tournament and am quite excited to demonstrate my capabilities as a manager once more. I have been known to fight for my team more than any other; and I have had many years of subforum premier league experience under my belt, as I was only good enough to barely slurp my way into just one official team tournament in my time on Smogon. As a former council member of both ZU and NFE, a longtime AG and 1v1 player and enjoyer, a user with more experience managing and playing in tournaments than the majority of signups here likely will, and someone with many friends and thorough knowledge of playerbases across all four diverse communities, I believe that I would be a perfect fit for manager of this tour.
My co-manager, Zesty, famously known as both “DaZesty” (Lets Gooo!) and “The Finchslayer” (for reasons only obii and TDK know) also has a deep history in the tiers mentioned, particularly in AG, where he was a top player for many years. Zesty remains steadfast in his beliefs that
ABR has "LMS" (Liquor, Money, Sex; or Little Man Syndrome - whichever fits better). When not writing his latest billboard topper in rap music, Zesty can be found arm-chairing starmaster’s games in the SmogTours lobby or taking numerous shots at The Jerk in prediction posts all over Smogon. Zesty is a proven competent player and manager who I have worked with many times in the past and would be honored to do so again for this tournament.
