Bio I started attending VGC events at the beginning of Scarlet/Violet and in my first year of playing I've earned multiple Day 2s alongside a regional Top Cut. I am quick learner and looking for a chance to get to know other players in the competitive scene and grow as a player.

Accomplishments 2xRegional T8, 2x Regional T16

Bio I'm an old man at this point - been around an extremely long time - but the fire burns brighter than ever. I have big goals for 2024 and beyond and more than anything else think NPA is a good way to push your boundaries, get high quality practise, and enhance understanding of the game, so I'd like to be part of it again and be active interacting with a team in depth!

Accomplishments Regional Champion, Finalist, Semi-finalist, and a few top 8's at live events. Most recently made Day 2 at NAIC and have had many Top 16s at Regionals in my thirteen year tenure as a player.

Bio I've been involved with NPA in the past, ended up helping the Rollouts win one in my first season as a player. Ever since then, I've used my experience to help improve the team atmosphere, prep, and teambulding mindset (not only in NPA but in multiple online team tournaments including USPA which I am currently part of for Team Ohio). Looking forward to help use my skills I learned as a player, and a former manager of online teams, to create success!

Accomplishments Started playing at start of gen 9. At recent regionals I finished 46th for Portland, 41st for San Antonio, and 75th at Toronto. Those finishes plus top cuts at Pico Rivera locals has left me with 294/500 champion points this season so far. I also contributed to 1st place CVL Season 2 on team West Sea, 2nd place CVL Season 3 on Team West Sea, and T8 in USPA Season 2 on Team SoCal.

Bio I aim to surpass my current abilities and bring my prep+play to new heights. Between my consistent play and my comfort with a variety of team styles, I work well in the context of a team. My goal is to learn and practice through competition as much as possible, and NPA is a place I can do just that.

Accomplishments VCL 1st Division Runner-up
VCL 2nd Division Champion (10-2)
Top 64 Turin Special
Players Cup III Top 64
PGL 2 Champion


3xMSS Champion
2xPC Champion

Bio I am super updated on the meta: if you have seen a team that you like on the ladder most likely I already have the paste in my builder, or at least a very close idea. Funny to hang out with and a very positive overall person, I easily fit into teams. If you attended a major in Europe, most likely we exchanged a few words. As a player, I would rate myself quite solid, I got CP at all events I attended since Utrecht last year. If you are looking for some of my online accomplishments probably you saw me cutting some small tours under the name of "ragonc".

Accomplishments Second seed in swiss of the Toronto regionals into a top 8 finish
Top cuts at a variety of online tours

Bio I am fairly free and unbusy, which means that I can help my teammates prep and run sets before their match if they need help in any way, shape, or form. I'm a younger upcoming player, so I would love to learn and help the better players on my team, and learn from my matches. My strengths are in my play and analyzing replays, but I can also accurately identify weaknesses in opponent's teams.

Accomplishments Undefeated in USPA 1, top 32 at victory road wc open

Bio I've been on a bit of a break from vgc since the end of sword shield but I have more time now so looking to get back into it. I think I'm a decent player and definitely play best when I have something to play for (like a team). I did well in USPA a while back but so far that's my only draft league experience, hoping for a similar outcome this time around.

Accomplishments - Top 16 Portland 2020 with Rimbombee and Mega-Lucario
- 6-3 Portland 2023 with triple choice team
- Multiple Top Cut Premier Challenges (NorCal & SoCal)
- Won a Premier Challenge (variant of vovomax's regieleki team)

Bio I think I am a decent player that lacks consistency. I'm very social and active in conversation and willing to improve myself and help teammates as needed. I've been through a few draft leagues as either a helper or a player. I have had an active part in building and expanding both the NorCal and SoCal scene as a Play Pokemon Professor, however, looking to settle back into my competitive roots in preparation to a full time return for the 2025 season.

I fixate towards hyper offensive teams, however, had successful roots in Trick Room. I have experience in playing balance teams, but feel incredibly uncomfortable in them, but still willing to learn. Thank you for reading!
