Approved tutor last 2 rounds. Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi OU, Wifi Ubers About me: I'm a Megauser on PO Server. As part of the Spartak Stunfisks, I went 4-3 in Wifi OU during POCL. I've peaked both OU and Ubers ladder once, and I'm comfortable with every play style. Recently, I battled my way to round 6 in ST9, where I lost to Thatsjustpeachy in a 50/50 in battle three. I like to help people and have done so many times unofficially on the server. I'm relatively active and very sociable. Last round, was my first round as a tutor, and I enjoyed it very much. I'd rather not have 3 tutees this time, since it was a little too much. 2 is perfect. Finally, I'm the starting OU player for US Central in this POWC as well, going 8-1 in OU and Ubers. I was also a starting member of Team Benelux in the latest Smogon WCoP. References: Nikitas, Finchinator, Navz, Michael, sulcata, meeps...

About me/Accomplishments: In my first tour, I was a POCL All-Star and finished 5-2, and in POWC I finished 9-5, with my only legit losses being against FLCL. I'm currently the NU Gym/Tier Leader and I know a large amount about the NU Tier. I also helped Finchinator lead Team East to the playoffs after our Captain Treecko died, and I did fairly well from the team's response about it.
