Holy hell, what a wild ride.
First off, GGs to every other team we faced, especially our finals opponent: the Forreties. The series had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. We definitely got a bit lucky along the way, but hey, it's Pokemon. Shit happens.
This tour was an absolute blast to participate in, and as a first time manager, I could not ask for a better first experience. The weeks really felt like they went too fast; we wanted more opportunities to play. We all
mostly got along, and the environment was great. I have some individual shoutouts for the entire team and for those who helped us get here, so I'll try to not be too cheesy with them.
Before that, special shoutout to CALLOUS for making everybody think dice was an absolute team cancer and allowing us to get the biggest steal in the auction LOOOOL
Cousiin You were probably the second person in our entire team chat, and we didn't even draft you (and we feel really bad about it), but you stuck around. We were glad to have you onboard.
Bouff Thanks for helping out our UUers nearly every week. I really appreciated your contributions to the team, and you felt like a part of the team at the end.
Altina You've been great to work with, and I'm glad you were around to help dice decide what hyper stall bullshit he decided to load up week after week. Even if you and I see the game and play the game in very different ways, it's been nice to have somebody to tell me that my ideas are (justifiably) terrible!
vapicuno One of the best people on this site, period. Thanks for joining our team chat and hanging around.
Inspirited What an absolute steal. You really went that crazy for 3k, huh? Thanks for performing like a god halfway through the season, and watching somebody get buried by Dodrio is pretty unforgettable. Hopefully, you won't be shafted from any more Ubers tours. You are the real deal.
Exiline THE SEXILINE NEVER FAILS. You came in clutch when we needed you most, and your presence in team chat was great. Try to hit your Rock Slides next time.
Holy Ghost You may not have had the tour you wanted, but we were glad to carry you to your first team tour win on the site. Thanks for talking with me whenever I need it, and for teaching me ADV Ubers on the side.
Alucs You didn't perform how you wanted to, but hey, we all have our up's and down's. You'll get another shot, you just need to make the most of it.
CyberOdin✝ Even with your activity issues, we were glad to have you on the team. Whenever you showed up, you were very enthusiastic, and that's all I can ask for.
dice 7-0. Not only were you an absolute steal on the Pokemon side of things, but you're a funny dude to boot. I love sitting there 4-5 hours before a game and having all of our OU players be completely confused at what they're looking at. Whether it was somehow finding the literal perfect matchup for CM Fire Grass Blissey or whatever the hell Surf Snorlax was about, you were the star of the show here. Thanks for carrying me to a W, and I'm excited to see you play some more ADV in the future.
Jisoo London13 Grouping you two together because frankly, we didn't have enough opportunities to give either of you your due chances. Unfortunately, dice was too busy being insane at the game to rotate him out. Blame him.
TDK Kind of the same story as above. You were busy with SPL, and even though you couldn't be here every week, that's fine. You didn't have your best performance here, but you'll almost certainly do better in the future.
Ark While your record on the sheet looks pretty mediocre, you contributed to plenty of team success behind the scenes and were a fun dude to be around. Oh, and somehow pulling that Triangles game out of your ass was hilarious.
Heysup Oh my god. I have never seen such insane team support from somebody. You're a mastermind, and worth every single bit of that 15.5k we spent on you and more. Honestly, you should've been the most expensive player in this tour. You contributed so much in almost every single tier. Don't beat yourself up about the playoffs games: you won us the tour with that satanic team. I am never doubting a Heysup decision again.
Plas Holy shit, I love you Plas. You clutched out Finals, and then clutched out the tiebreak in dominant fashion. What an absolute legend. Best of luck in your future tours, you're a demon.
roxiee I wish we could've gotten you more involved throughout the season. Unfortunately, we had too many good players on the roster.
Lastly, and most importantly, shoutout to
Hclat, my "assistant" manager, for agreeing to do this with me. You helped out the team a lot more than I did, and you were a boon in prep all season. I look up to you a great deal as a player, and I am very thankful for you being so encouraging on the side. You allowed me to even have an opportunity like this, and you taught me the game of ADV as a whole. It's been awesome to work with you, and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) defending our title next year.
Thank you to everybody, once again, for making this tour amazing, and thank you for putting up with my inexperienced ass. Hopefully you all had as much fun as I did, and I'm looking forward to doing this again another year (or maybe in another tour!). Love y'all <3
, see y’all in DPP PL
