IGN: Tyrone PokeMMO Team: [VVVV] Experience: Player in PSL Seasons 1 - 6 (Winner of PSL6). Resident ADV OU (Gen 3) Prodigy. Motivation: After taking a sabbatical year off PokeMMO in 2017, I wish to make a comeback to the competitive scene in 2018. Since I am new to Gen 5 as a whole, being a PSL player isn't viable as there is no tier or format in the current metagame in which I feel comfortable. Recruiting the best players to my team, I will be able to give them a platform to succeed as competitive players while they in turn will help me figuring out the new metagame. Main motivation is the construction of a roster balanced with new and upcoming talent, alongside a few veterans. Where the upcoming talent is given an opportunity to grow and make a name for themself in the best PSL team of 2018. Fluff: I have 1.5 years experience managing the official PokeMMO Tier Council. Proven my trustworthiness and dedication to the game by being part of PokeMMO staff from 2014-2016 during which I have hosted over 15 Team Tournaments. Managing people using clear communication and respect is a quality that I'm sure comes in valuable for the position of PSL Manager. Drama and thrashtalk albeit fundamental to PSL, isn't something I will personally give in to as it would distract from the true goal, becoming champions.

IGN: YungTor MMo Team: Sake ew Experience: S5 Houndooms S6 Baenines S7 manager of the 7th place Kakunas S8 with maCHOKES Motivation: After barely missing out on 9m a couple season ago im a lot hungrier and a lot poorer than before. First time i managed I had a lot of uh... Legal shit going on that kinda kept me distracted a lil and i couldnt put 100 into my team like i wanted . This time around everything is lit and I'm hype. PS just tell me how much i need to donate to get a spot again ;) Fluff: The Rooney rules states that you have to at least interview minority candidates , and as im the only black person who plays this game that should at least get me in the door edit, look at this banner tho I dont really wanna manage man, i just want the likes

IGN: Giantpipe PokeMMO Team: LORD Experience: I have been involved in 3 or 4 season of PSL, like a player and manager. I m the first manager from team latino (aw), now i want mi revenge because like manager and player i never won ( 2 finals,2 semis , best player nu , its my history in psl). Motivation: well i want a win a psl , like always i win my son kayninez, sebat, like others pd : kayninez i rekt many time i lost count sebat: well jajaja my bro ...hahaha

IGN: Havsha Team: [Rise] Experience: PSL V - 8, Executive and Co-Founder of Rise. Motivation: Since my boy Oltan is unable to take his spot as manager this season, Ill try and step up, as a co-founder of rnsc, and rise, I have managed to learn the necessary traits of teamwork, motivation and recruitment that is needed to create a strong, competitive team. It is no coincidence that Rise has in a span of a year grown to become the 4th/5th best team in PokeMMO history and the 2nd best of 2017, it was a product of my own, and my fellow executives' ability to keep a finger on the competitive pulse of this game. We did not rely on the old veterans that reside in teams like aw, lyle, aura or rng, instead we were able to find hidden gems, who we were able to guide towards the path of greatness. I believe it is this keen eye on the competitive scene, that inherently provides me with the ability to form the strongest, most competitive team with the combinations of new players and old. Although I may not have been a participant of PSL from the beginning, it has become increasingly clear to me that it has been transformed from a prestigious competitive event, into a poorly constructed canvas for smack talk and petty drama. The very spirit of competition in psl has been misshaped into one of salty, uncompetitive behaviour. I believe this is one of the key reasons contributing towards the poor activity losses, and the decrease interest in last psl's play offs. As Tyrone stated, I refuse to take part in the drama and the trashtalk, and I encourage everyone else too follow in suit. Instead I'll focus on creating a strong competitive ethos within my team. Fluff: Stop making PSL about petty dramas and trashtalk, bring back the old competitive spirit

IGN: Pachima Team: [RISÉ] Experience: Used to play showdown for a long time, until I found out pokemmo, back in 2013 (Bad choice, yeah I know). Been lurking at the competitive scene in this game, just to find out that even the worse gimmicks are enough to beat such plebs. (jk) Decided to actively enter in the comp scene in PSL6. Fluff: Top 1 in hackmons ! Motivation: I see managing a team way funnier, more arousing and competitive than to actually play for it. And after scrolling through 4 pages of C tier applications, I finally realized what PSL stood for - "Pitiful Sign up League" Its time to change this. Let´s make pokemmo superb again (Only great is for losers). I most of the time lack the determination when playing alone, but I am usually very committed when alongside other people, so I can promise to give it all for this spot. Finally, I am seeing a lot of people saying: "If pleb A can join, then I can as well" Sadly, you won´t hear this from me, cause comparing oneself with plebs is not the way to go. Instead, my logo is: "If pleb A can join, then there is no reason for me not to"

Took 3 years, 163k encounters of piloswines. Not even to bad Ivs to start breeding it ayyy, modest nature

IGN: Parke PokeMMO Team: VVVV Experience: I've participated in every season from PSL4 - helping out my teams and providing comps, helping with team builds and such for the past 3 seasons. Also have helped managers with alot of decisions in the 3 seasons aforementioned. Motivation: I'm trash at playing so I figured why not manage and bribe my players to throw their matches so I can get rich from it. Nah jokes aside, I've wanted to manage for seasons past and my prior managers im sure can vouch to say I helped out a fair bit even when I wasnt manager (plus who else is guna represent the trashbois? clearly @EricTheGreat failed miserably at it) I'm very active, have comps for every tier and play every tier so I think I could benefit a team should I be a manager as I understand all tiers and know most players fairly well. Fluff: I have 20 ot shinies, that should speak wonders about how bad I am at comp

My 12th xD

Bo3 for DPP, but Bo1 is good for SMOU. DPP needs bo3 it is way too based on lead matchup, 1 stupid miss, or other dumb series of hax. I believe most smogon tourneys run bo3 for DPP because of this. Stall is a bigger factor in SMOU than DPP even without dugtrio, those games can take forever. Similarly, PP stall wars with shit like celesteela toxapex happen a lot to add to game time. Also with team preview SM OU has a bit less luck and a good player can outplay almost every matchup. And another problem is there that there weren't many unique teams in SM OU last season and forcing people to make more teams will probably add to the problem. So, bo3 for DPP, bo1 for SM

IGN: SirDusty PokeMMO Team: SASS Experience: absolutely nothing Motivation: I suck at battling so hence never did psl, but I figure I can be a good manager Fluff: I am not fluffy. Literally copy pasted my entry from last year, maybe this is the year? Also don't pick toast, he's dead in game. Myself and @Deadwind keep sass alive right now. I pledge to buy good players and bench them. You can't have a good team without the bench being better.

IGN: Sebat PokeMMO Team: LØRÐ Experience: Player of psl for 4 seasons I have 7 officials (2OU 2UU 2NU 1Doubles) and I win to giantpipe every time. Motivation: Just for fun :) Fluff: I was Boss in LKng, Co-Boss&Boss in DK, Co-Boss in ONIX and actually Boss in LORD.

remember guys, 1/30k

I said that i was drunk, do you think i could give a reasoning? If you want to start talking shit, do it with someone else, I'm not for that nonsense with you

Omg screw Bo3, That's the whole point PSL is a team game with 8 matches. If your team is unlucky enough to get screwed by hax 5 times in a week, too bad so sad, move on to the next week. The notion of Bo3 drags the matches on making them boring and almost unwatchable in some situations. Also Bo3 even when used should still be the same team used in all 3 matches, since the issue is lack of team preview after all. Although I think most of us can agree gen 4 was one of the best when it came to competitive Pokemon, so I don't understand why it would even be needed there in the first case. Let people make their mistakes and be punished for it, put the pressure on the others in the team, create the hype, not bore us to sleep

LF clefairy cup triple new meta op

you'd be in trouble

Petition to make the Showdown tier(s) bo3 this season. Reasoning: Dpp is a great tier, but it is hampered by a lack of team preview. This causes the "matchup factor" to be quite large, often games are won or lost based on lead alone (see: me v. nik last season w/that raikou). Notice in this game that my very difficult to predict choice of lead allowed me to reveal 4 of his pokes, take huge chunks out of 2, and put me in a great position moving forward. Why not shift to bo3 to help mitigate this? Matches aren't usually very long, and showdown players have a much easier time creating comps/teams obviously - meaning having 3 teams ready for every week isn't out of the question. I think bo3 will lead to the better player winning more often than the worse player

24/26

IGN: KaynineXL PokeMMO Team: LYLE Experience: PSL Experience: Season 3: Played under TJ with Team Narcissistic Nidokings. We got to playoffs. Season 4: Played under TheFireLion with Team The Raging Lions. We took 1st place. Season 5: Played under DoubleJ with Team The Mountain. We got to playoffs. Season 6: Managed my own team Baenine's Canines. We took 2nd place and were the first to be undefeated in regular season. Season 7: Managed my own team yet again with Team VALE. We got to playoffs after the best regular season performances ever done(6 wins, 1 draw). Season 8: Played under TheChampionMike with team Driftveil Dragonites. We got to playoffs. Competitive Experience: Roughly 3 years PokeMMO competition experience. Accumulated many official wins throughout my time playing competitively. See spoiler below. Past experience in showdown tiers, especially DPP where I've have fairly good ratios in prior PSL seasons. Fluff: I have plenty of cash which I'm willing to use if necessary. (go away destructx) I have plenty of (old)comps which I'm willing to update if necessary. I have lots of experience not just as a PSL player, but also as a manager.

Just get some self control and then there is no need for a bank

If it was PSL shit talk, that would be cool, but since you have been attacking jajas and criticizing how they express themselves in other places of the forum and on discord for no apparent reason, it doesn't look like PSL shit talk to me. If there is beef between you two, please let us know what it is about, so we can enjoy the drama.

Ya, but keep in mind that it's a new meta that most people are still analysing and breeding for which is rather complex since this meta is expected to change in future updates.

@Dinkle i hate u

IGN: TiToooo PokeMMO Team: LORD Experience: jaja Motivation: I just want to be kek Fluff: i play top eleven 2018 and i am the better lol

Keep the smacktalk in the General thread you nubs. Whilst I'm here IGN ~ Kizhaz Team ~ GM Experience ~ All PSL club Tied most PSL wins (Doc thinks winning as a player is good, kicked both his and Coolio's ass as a manager) Sometimes did well in tournaments Sometimes host tournaments lol Motivation ~ Idk, been planning on signing up as a manager ever since being put in garbo tier last season and doing terribad. I enjoyed managing back in S6 but didn't take my spot in S7, probably should have or at the very least signed up for manager last season. Don't exactly have the comps nor been in touch with the comp scene lately (although I have the knowledge) so being a player would be meh. Gotta beat Coolio and Doc for top of most wins as well I guess Fluff ~ If I'm not picked I can ban you

IGN: overToasted PokeMMO Team: [SASS] lol but we dead fam Experience: 9 including this season, x2 champion, unfortunately stuck on coolio's team for 3 of those 9. Motivation: I was 100% robbed of a manager spot last season because mr. shitcoolio stole my spot, then proved to everyone that he couldn't manage cause we ended up last. this season i'd like to redeem my chances as manager to prove that ill be the best fuckin manager ever. after taking so many Ls as a player, i gotta prove i can get those Ws as a manager. i was also captain on several teams so i know the likes of managing and the shit that you gotta deal with behind it, but i aint no uguu. 8 seasons as a player takes a toll on you, i might be the only OG psl player that hasn't been a manager yet, so yeah i know my shit. im familiar with the comp scene, and even tho this isnt fully gen 5, or gen 7, or whatever gen we're calling the meta, i'm familiar with practically everything just give me manager please ill even buy coolio just to bench him Fluff: 2 OT Shiny Laprases, on the same day same month but a year apart, real skill tbh

We've became @Senile

literally a seel with a gun
