    Tiers you wish to teach: RBY OU
    About me: I've been playing competitive Pokemon for 8 years, RBY OU for 5, and RBY OU at the most intense level for over 1 year. I started playing RBY passionately on NBS with the RBY2K10 founders, WaterWizard and t3h Icy in 2009. It wasn't until 2013 when RBY was finally fully implemented in PO, that I achieved my full potential. I first placed no.1 with a team with Persian in on the RBY OU ladder, when M Dragon was playing on it. Later, I was part of the winning team in POCL3: after having an unlucky start, I ended up winning my semi-finals and finals battles to go 5-3. Additionally, I won Good Old Days Tournament, a 64 man best of 3 tournament on Smogon in RBY OU and have competed in my own tournaments, mostly 16 man best of 5 single elimination, aiming to attract the best of the RBY OU player base: I've won 1, finished runner-up in 3 and have achieved over 50% of the maximum points. The reason I want to continue to be a PO tutor is to help expand the skilled RBY OU player base further and part with knowledge I've learned, especially over my successful year.

    Tiers you wish to teach: RBY OU but more importantly GSC OU
    About me: RBY player at heart but Lutra is covering that front already. In RBY I have had most of my success - I mostly participate in teams tournaments and I play RBY in those (meaning I can't play GSC), where my main achievements are finals in both POWC and POCL, being RBY OU gym leader for three straight seasons is also something. In GSC, I have few noteworthy achievements but I can hold my own in the tier. I've beaten Jorgen and Crystal_ in offsite tour games!

    Approved r9 and r11

    Server names: Kurumi Tokisaki/Sakuya Izayoi/DracoNinja/Victini/Salamence/Jirachi
    Tiers you wish to teach: XY OU
    About me: I have been playing competitive pokemon since August 2012, and OU is one of the tiers that I am most experienced in. I got to page 1 on the PO ladder twice but decayed, and played with mostly semi-stall/balanced/bulky offense playstyles. Topped PS ladder within 90 games, highest peak is 1550 but decay keeps killing me. Prefer to teach only one tutee at one time because of a previous round's rivalry between tutees.
    References: Bugzinator, Finch, Raducan, Metalgross, entire Tournaments can really attest that I'm a decent player (zoro don't laugh)
    Timezone: +8GMT

    I would like to tutor @Brycen-Man and @diamondslight

    Approved Rounds 8, 9, and 10. @ZoroDark I don't wanna tutor this round but like last round, I'd be willing to tutor if you don't have anyone else to do these tiers.

    Server names: Raducan
    Tiers you wish to teach: XY Ubers / BW UU
    About me: I've been a tutor for XY Ubers for rounds 8, 9, and 10. (I also went 0-6 in POWC oops). I was decently successful at BW UU, and I still play it often enough with series of battles with Finch.
