Vye904 got bored during class and made a user page. She competes in New York at Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School and is a captain for the 2020-2021 season. Her favorite event is Disease Detectives, but she is rethinking that decision after the traumatizing events of 2021 regionals.
She spends most of her time wasting away on tiktok, watching netflix, and not being productive.

2019-2020
In 8th grade, she joined Gelinas scioly and drastically flunked tryouts with no clue how anything worked. After being placed on B team, she went to LISO, her first competition ever, and had a blast downloading random games during the 2.5 hour awards delay. Her favorite tournament was Cornell, where she ate mac & cheese with plastic knives and SHOWED UP TO AWARDS LATE because the Gelinas coaches decided to continue eating dinner as awards started an entire bus ride away. The team ended up missing half of awards and got a lot of raised eyebrows when they finally showed up at the auditorium entrance. Overall, she played an excessive amount of ERS, met new people, made friends, downloaded discord, got addicted to pokecord, and had a great time (before COVID struck and cancelled states and nats D:).

1: qué?!?
2020-2021
In 9th grade, she was a captain (somehow), and was on the A team. Unfortunately, her year was much less fun-filled. Disregarding the team losing 3 coaches and getting a brand new head coach, they also didn't go to as many invitationals as she originally wanted to. Because of online tournaments, she had a severe lack of motivation to study, which did not put event placements in her favor. Throughout the year, she had some pretty bad experiences (see: STAR Program, Regionals). Honestly!! She had an absolutely fantastic time stressing over dumb NYSSO DQs. TLDR: STAR Program was the absolute bane of her existence and got Gelinas DQed in 4 events at regionals for using the default MacBook PDF editor that was not previously warned to be DQable. Almost not making states and being the first Gelinas team to not get top 2 at regs in 2 decades was such a great experience!! Despite this, she still had some pretty fun times (Thank you BirdSO). Not getting DQed at states (the tests and grading were still very questionable!!) and making nats was also a giant relief.
