DoubleJ Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 What is this? Well to put it simply, it's where all the superstars of the PokeMMO Community come together and submit their application for being the leader, the go to, the crème de la crème of the PokeMMO Super League. This is the PSL Manager Sign-up thread, where you could potentially be the unsung hero of this season. What is a PSL Manager? A manager in the PSL has the highest responsibility of any competitor. Their responsibility is darn near endless. From managing finances to personalities, it is your role to carry a team of random people from all over the world to the promise land; to motivate them week in and week out to win, even when they are 0-6 and you have almost no hope of making the playoffs. What do I need to know before I sign up? Being a manager is not easy. It takes a lot of commitment and it takes a lot of skills that some of us frankly don't have. It also takes the stones to suck it up when shit isn't going your way and to understand the rules of the game. Here is a list of things to consider before signing up: Can I stay active through the whole season? Can I communicate well with my players? Can I handle team finances? Can I keep an eye on my players and those of the opponent? Do I have knowledge of the competitive scene and the players? Will I keep interest, even when I'm on the losing side? Do I understand and can I make my players understand the terms & conditions of the PSL? Will I maintain respect for my host and the decisions they make? Do I have the availability to manage a team, participate in a draft, and respond to the host whenever a question presents itself? What do we do? Well simply put, you state the best case for why you should be a manager in PSL Season 7 in this very thread. The template is below, but feel free to spruce it up a bit with your own creativity, because God Only Knows (GOK where art thou?!) we need it. IGN: post your in-game name here PokeMMO Team: post your in-game team here Experience: post the number of PSL seasons you've been involved in, and whether you were a manager, player, host, winner, etc. Motivation: post why you want to be a manager this season and what you are willing to do to be a champion Fluff: post anything and everything that might help this application be relevant How do I get selected to be a manager? After a good handful of applications are submitted, I (the host) will meet with my small council, consisting of Gunthug and OrangeManiac, to select the managers of the season. There will be eight (8) managers selected in total, but just know that both @Kizhaz and @KaynineXL will be given the option to be a manager this coming season because they both did one hell of a job in PSL 6. What does this mean? Well it means that if both Kiz and Kay come back this season as a manager, we will only be picking six (6) new managers this time around. So it isn't going to be easy for you. Anything else? It is very prestigious to be selected as manager and quite frankly many good players will be left on the chopping block after the decision is made final. Please, don't be upset if we don't pick you. You likely had a very wonderful application but there was just something about the players selected that put them just one step ahead of the game. Now without further ado, let's start this season =) Quilachy, LifeStyle, LegendP and 15 others 18 Link to comment

Do I have knowledge of the competitive scene and the players? yes Will I keep interest, even when I'm on the losing side? ofc to do otherwise is dishonorable Do I understand and can I make my players understand the terms & conditions of the PSL? i have yet to re read the whole thing this season but i will and i will make every player i draft do so or bench them. Will I maintain respect for my host and the decisions they make? yes unless you pull thinknice rmt ban in the 11th hour with all the prize money and then i'll still respect you, just not quite as much as before. Do I have the availability to manage a team, participate in a draft, and respond to the host whenever a question presents itself? yes IGN:fredrichnietze PokeMMO Team: n/a atm. bushido died again and i have been hibernating since the last psl ended. Experience: yes much. Motivation: to be the best Fluff: no thank you i dont even drink coffee. Edited January 7, 2017 by fredrichnietze RysPicz, Spaintakula, Coge and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Mike Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) IGN: TheChampio Tryss PokeMMO Team: RISÉ Experience: 2 seasons I joined, and watched 2. Motivation: I am a big fan of PSL and basically every player that plays in it. I love the way it brings together the community and would love to be a manager not only because of that. But also because I got an awesome team name ready. Want to meet even more people and win :] I know I am not the best player in the game, fuck far from, but I think that even motivates me more to sign up as manager or player to prove I am not complete shit and get better. And want the players in my team to carry me to victory together. Fluff: Went 3-1 last season, know most of the community. No one can do worse than Riga or Telf so wynaut :) Might add other stuff later but ya Edited January 7, 2017 by TheChampionMike Osuki, xStarr, Bilburt and 24 others 27 Link to comment
Popular Post LifeStyle Posted January 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) IGN: LifeStyle PokeMMO Team: LYLE Experience: Started playing comp for real around mid 2016. From then I joined PSL 6 as my first PSL and won it with the help of my Komalas brothers. Played official finals in OU/UU/NU (2-2 record). Also won some gimmick official topkek. I spend a lot of my online time watching tournament replays and matchmaking so I pretty much know what players I'm looking for to add to my team. Motivation: I already won as a player so wynaut win as a manager? For real though, teamwork is my motivation, just like in Komalas where me and my team mates would help each other clutching every week, I want to recreate that feeling in my team where players can trust each other and actually give a fuck about PSL instead of going inactive or simply not putting in effort on their matches. That and I need those 6M. Fluff: Not gonna sign for player (unless LC ???) so please pick me.

Popular Post DaftCoolio Posted January 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hello everyone my name is Elcoolio and I will be applying for PSL manager this evening. Im a touch drunk but that surely only makes the application better right??? Was at this party and my mate got drunk, broke a vase, panicked and jumped out this two story window was lols. IGN: Elcoolio aka Coolio aka Eltrumpio aka TwinkleStarChild aka djcoolio PokeMMO Team: GWOP GWOP GWOP but also sass i guess Motivation: Wasnt sure if i was going to apply but then i listened to the climb by miley cyrus (before she went off the rails) on loop for an hour and i got right into it. I was robbed last season, straight up. If everyone in my team didnt choke (except for like toast and jovi rough day when they are your best players) we would of won ez. To be fair playing doesnt really feel the same as managing. Like there is no better feeling then winning and knowing you did absolutely nothing to contribute, I should know i manged the single best PSL team of all time SPHEALS#1 fuck you vorred. I also thoroughly enjoy breaking peoples hearts by trading them to other teams RIP Inarin Maekaaay and Miguelez. Fluff: I once named my cat Lieutenant Champ, not really relevant but that cat was lit af. I promise to draft the doubles tier and gb in my team as well as JJ and forf even though they are both trash just for the pm banter. PSL record is sadly at 3:3, ive only managed to win three times. I promise to make more enemies than friends this season if you pick me. I got third last season but thats pretty much top two jj give me a fuckin break. 4 hours ago, DoubleJ said: Will I maintain respect for my host and the decisions they make? la fuckin mayo Guerinf, Quilachy, LuisPocho and 32 others 35 Link to comment

IGN: Greck PokeMMO Team: The oldest and greatest team [Kult] Experience: 2 total PSL's as Manager, First time got 3rd place, Seconds time can't remember, also involver in donations since PSL3 Motivation: New year comes, new goals to archieve, time to become the Master of PSL at least for once. Maybe the last season i was not so in (for you know what reasons), but this time we will manage to build the best team on PSL history ;-) As is, always Hype for a new PSL Season, hope you can have me in consideration ;-D Fluff: I'm Handsome.

Popular Post XPLOZ Posted January 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yo ! I finished my exams so let's go baby. IGN: XPLOZ PokeMMO Team: RandomNoobGamers Experience: I think that I have a pretty good experience. Firstly as a player, on PokeMMO and on Showdown (I played 2,5 seasons, my first PSL was PSL3 where I entered at midseason), but also as a manager (I was manager at PSL5). I think that I did a quite good job as a manager, I drafted a solid team (with future 'talents' for cheap like blackjovi 3k and enchanteur 2k) and I was a lot involved to motivate my players. Unfortunately, the expected results were not there. What I lacked at this time was a good knowledge about Showdown, I literally knew nothing about it. However, I'm a regular Showdown player now so I know exactly who is good/active and who is not #Robofiend. On PokeMMO, I am the founder of the 4th best team in PokeMMO's history, below Aw LYLE and AURA. I won official tournaments in OU and Doubles, and I also won team tournaments. Motivation: I have always been a competitor and this is a good occasion for me to take my revenge from PSL5, to learn from my mistakes and to come back stronger. Also, I think that the role of manager is pretty exciting, I love to see the different strategies of each manager during the auctions. Finally, I enjoy being a leader: I always stand-up to defend the interests of my team and I try to bring them to the top. Fluff: I speak English, French, and I have some knowledge in Spanish, so I will be able to easily communicate with my players. Plus I can make amazing trailers for my team ahah. dedegendut, Kanzo, Mike and 35 others 38 Link to comment
Torinnnnn Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 IGN: Torinnnnn PokeMMO Team: SASS Experience: I've played 2 seasons , if you count riding the bench until the last week then playing a tier you don't own a single comp for as playing then sure. Both of the teams blessed with my presence have made it to the playoffs as well :] Motivation: Baenines were so close that I need to know the feeling of winning it all , I feel like 2009 Lebron Fluff: You guys let Telf manage last year lmao, Sailing Team could be so lit , I also donated the most KaynineXL, aftershocker, InfiniteHeartz and 19 others 22 Link to comment
Popular Post gbwead Posted January 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) IGN: gbwead PokeMMO Team: RNG Experience I played in PSL 4 for Vorred (Shit Name Inc.). I spectated in PSL 5 and PSL 6. I uguued a little bit in PSL 5, PSL 6 and PSL 7 preseason. I’m an active player and I know the competitive community relatively well. Motivation I have seen so much unpunished stupidity from PSL managers that I thought why not go into the ring and show these worthless trashtalkers how it’s done. I want to put together an all star team with no incapable overvalued morons that get drafted every season. Team spirit is everything which is why I intend to help my players in every way possible. I am looking for players that will train together, support each other and ultimately succeed as PSL Champions. FluffI suck at finding good PSL team names; the best I could come up with for now is “Flinching Jynxes”. I know the plural of Jynx is still Jynx, so sue me. tl;dr: Happy Birthday Guerinf, JJ biased host, Lilyek > Tranz, Doubles ain't a real tier.
