Great clicker and will definitely easily adapt easily to VGC
Don't have much accomplishments in VGC itself because I live in India and it does not happen there :sob:

Bio I am a decent builder and can be a great addition to any team. Not having any actual VGC prior experience is a major negative, but I would really love to find that experience here. Thanks.

Bio Howdy, names Brian, I’ve been playing VGC for about over a year now and have been loving the experience. I continue to learn more and have gotten great opportunities with the Irish WCOP team & great coaching through Patrick ‘Pdonz’ Donegan & Scotty1W.

I believe managers should draft me due to my ability to counter team successfully, my creativity in my play & my ability to work & take suggestions from those on my team.

Much love

Accomplishments None I don't have a Nintendo Switch , I won a bunch of random Limitless tournaments on showdown

Bio I started playing VGC in Sword and Shield series 8, since then I just grinded a lot in ladder due to the inability to buy a Nintendo Switch, I achieved decent results peaking over 1900 in bo1 and over 1700 in bo3 both with more than 80% gxe. I want to demonstrate that someone can be good at VGC even if they cannot afford the console.

Accomplishments - Day 2 Stuttgart Regionals
- 1/2 on MSS wins
- 1/1 on PC wins

Bio A relatively new player to the competitive scene who is looking to make his first statement in the NPA. Played my first Pokemon event in October where I won my first PC. Recently I've been to Stuttgart where I was able to day 2 my second ever regional. Recent MSS win where I was able to beat a worlds Quarter Finalist in the finals. I have an addiction for this game grinding every day and if chosen I would be happy to help the team grind sets. Even if I am not chosen to play each week I can make an impact outside of the game. My ambitions for this game are far beyond just getting day 2 at a regional and I am hoping the experience I gain from NPA will help me push on to get my worlds invite this year and top cut a regional in the near future.
