Tournaments BWPL III - Manager Signups

[Theia]

Welcome to the third ever BWPL. This thread is for the signups for those who wish to manage in the tour. Information about the tournament can be found at the Announcements and Administrative Decisions Thread. The hosts for BWPL are Perish Song and Theia.

When signing up, YOU MUST SIGN WITH AN ASSISTANT MANAGER and state who they are. Managers and Assistant Managers will be able to purchase themselves for 15k credits each prior to the draft (subjected to the retention rules found below) 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 BW 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.

Teams will be allowed to retain players from the previous BW PL under the following stipulations:

• Each team will be allowed to retain at most 3 players from their retain pool (TBD) and self-purchasing managers (so if you choose to self purchase 1 manager you only get 2 retains etc.).
• Teams must notify the host team of any retains prior to the player auction.
• Price will be the larger of either the players BWPL II auction price + 3k or 10k.
• Managers who were self-bought in BWPL II will not be eligible for retention.

[Jisoo]

Team name: Twist Mountaineers

We both have a lot of playing experience in BW. I've been an active BW player for the past year and a half, making two deep official tournament runs. SBPC has managed this tournament twice now and has also managed community initiatives to rewrite BW analyses in several tiers. They are familiar with all the BW lower tiers. Together, we're a well rounded core that will put our best into our team.

 

[crimsonbacon38]

Manager: me
Comanager: dababy
Name: Maryland Moonmen
They call me 007. 0 manager experience, 0 tour experience, 7 times more likely to win than everyone else. Me and DaBaby are extremely active in the BWOU community. He’s a gentle giant with a heart of gold who’s always eager to bring his homies with him, and I wanna free Darkrai. I future sight myself winning BWPL with DaBaby by my side by a country mile, and I want the chance to prove myself.

 

[ElectricityCat]

Manager: ElectricityCat
Comanager: ziloXX
Name: Soul Society

Both of us have played in several BW tournaments, achieving quite good results both within and outside of Smogon, some of which include low tiers, such as the RoA Olympics.

Regarding managers' experience, ziloXX has participated in GSC-BW editions, reaching the playoffs in all of them. As for myself, I was manager for both editions of ORAS PL, achieving victory in both. Also, we are currently both managers in the ongoing DPP PL and are performing well.

 

[Ina fable]

Manager : seroo
Comanager: Me
name:: Castelia City Clodsires


We may not be known that much in the community but were starting to get reconised , both of us have been in quite a few team tours already including seroo playing in monowcop , ndwcop , monoblt and the current OMPL and BLT and me also playing in most of those + BSSwcop and the current blt , bdsppl , sspl and currently in round 5 of ru open. To summarize , we both have quite a bit of competetive experience and understand how a manager should act and help support/build a team

 

[3d]

Manager: 3d
Comanager: Rewer
Team Name: Zealous Zekroms

Rewer and I would make a great manager pair for this tournament. My BW knowledge can be exemplified through the BW Seasonal that recently took place that I won. I have been an avid BW tester during SPL and playing BWPL last season gave me a much better grasp of the community and all of the tiers. Rewer is a long-standing member of the BW community and a very great playe. He is a two time former SPL champion and his knowledge of Black & White extends throughout the last 10 years of the metagame. Together we make a great blend of experience and eyes for talent so we will make an excellent pair.
