Formats played: VGC 2011-2016, VGC 2020-2023
Bio: I started playing VGC in the Seniors division way back in 2011, I placed 10th at Worlds 2011, 3rd at SoCal regionals in 2012, and unfortunately lost my win and in to day 2 at US nationals 2012. I also came close to Day 2 at Socal regionals in 2015 (Masters division, lost my win and in again). I didn’t play at any official events during SM/USUM since I was focusing on college, but I’ve been playing again since 2020. I played in both Player’s Cup II and III, and have been playing a lot of VGC 2023 Regulation C lately. Never played in a draft league before though and would really love the opportunity! I'm happy to play any format :)

Bio: Only been playing VGC seriously for the past few months, but I've picked up the game rather fast, even if you don't draft me I'd really enjoy just being in a discord server of one of the teams, so I can see if I can pick up a thing or two.
Accomplishments: Peaked at top 500 on smogon ladder for series 2, give good vibes

Accomplishments:
Joined at the end of swsh and I'm proud of the progress I've made and I know I can definitely improve a lot. My strong suits are obviously going to be Gen 8 and 9 because I at least understand mechanics in action for those games. I am working on improving further and I'm sure I wouldn't be dead weight on any team.

Bio: Started playing VGC since 2020 and used to go by Domingo. I took a long break from March 2022 until December 2022 and worked on my well-being and mindset. Haven't been given much of a chance to interact with the community so I do often practice formats on my own. I have a lot of passion for the game though and I have never played in a Smogon tournament before so if given the opportunity I would love to try it out! This year has been much better for me as I've been able to travel to events and meet people at different events which I'm very grateful for as interactions were wholesome so wanting to translate that in online too.
Accomplishments:
PGL 2 Champions Hammerlocke Hydreigons
T16 World Cup Team France 2021
5-4 Liverpool Regional 2023
5-4 European International Championships 2023

Accomplishments: haven't been competing for long, and being in oce I have very few events, but I was top 40 pre-drop round 8 (gf got sick) at Sydney regional and have been near the top of the sv ladder consistently each format.
Otherwise I think I'm pretty good working in a team environment , and enjoy prepping and discussing ideas with others.
Hope you'll consider me

Formats played: 17, 18, 19, 23. Played gen 8 as well but would rather not do it here unless absolutely needed.
Bio: Lots of experience in team leagues, played NPA twice, World Cup and VGCPL 1 and 2 for the Lumiose Luxrays. Played worlds in 2019. Pretty decent in VGC17. Like sticking within my comfort zone. I'm quite good in teambuilding and theoretical discussions, so if I'm not drafted I'd be glad to join any team as a helper and make new freinds and connections.
