He initially doesn't want to be captain. Because I stepped up as captain because M Dragon has offered me a Captain spot while I'm on Pokemon Online, I have to talk to someone reputable for this cause. Eventually, I talked to blarajan and he told me that he's going to lead the team for the sake of legitimacy.take all the time you want, but pls make it a good experience, and the fact that you don't know many smogonites is actually helpful, since you can't be biased and your decisions will be based on the tryouts or w/e other logical approach you use for selection. And pls talk to blarajan whether he wants to be a captain or not. A captain who doesn't want to be one is bad for a team
Germany 2008 was majin + 9 randoms and we ended second place :[world cup its all about your name. sure you can be a new player and get into it by impressing but chances are you wont, and teams have been making their rosters since a month ago so of course theres reserved spots already
That is what people call setting out priorities.how're you so sure of that without trying out the newer ones(not new to competitive, but new to smogon/PS!)
that gif made me laugh
newcomers should prove that they are good by doing well in other official tours or non official tours like Smogon Tours/ Smogon Grand Slam/ Smogon Tournament and many others, tournaments that are important but dont request to be known or get picked to play in them.i agree that veterans deserve some reservation, but in the"Options List". what i meant was that a veteran should not automatically get a spot just 'cos he/she's a veteran or you know them to be reliable. every veteran was a newcomer once, and they would've stayed that way if everybody had stuck to the veterans and not given a chance to the newcomers.
in that case why don't you fill some spots with veterans first, then announce that you're one veteran short so you'll have a tryout? why do you accept so many names if 75% of your roster is decided months ago and you need only 1-2 more spots to be filled?
then you should leave X5Dragon
