Lunar. Thanks a TON both for agreeing to run it back with me for one final time and for putting it up with my antics for a whopping 10 weeks LOL. You were as good of a partner to manage with me as I could've asked for and I knew I could always count on you to help where I could not, your input in both the draft and preparation was invaluable so thanks for that as well, your SS takes are still as sharp as ever and coaching is still broken in every tier. Enjoy the glory, a well deserved one my friend, I'm glad we finally won one together after all this time. o7
Xrn To our star player,
to the one I could always trust to give me a heart attack when it matters the most and still win in the most ridiculous of ways, I never felt so confident and scared at the same time in a teammate, spindas really would not be the same without you man it was a blast teaming with you for yet another season. And you've been with us from the start as well! Thanks for being the missing piece to our manager trio, your SV support was a massive factor in our success as you know it, congratulations on a stellar performance & good luck in future tournaments if you keep playing!
Amaranth We've teamed together many times and already solved oras together once, I was confident we could do it again but the gods had other plans in store for us... I've never seen such a string of bad luck happen to anyone I've teamed with before, I guess our oras slot was cursed to begin with, with neutral luck I'm sure you could've had another great tournament with us. Still I appreciated your eagerness to keep playing even while the tilt was getting to you, like for lunar I'm glad we could get the title together this one time, hopefully see you around!
sir jelloton While planning the draft I pretty much left most of the decisions regarding SV to lunar and xrn as I was clearly out of touch with the new playerbase, I couldn't help but notice your name near the top of the list and I didn't have much of a clue as to who you were, but by watching your kickoff replays I knew we were betting on a really talented player. It sucks your season didn't quite pan out the way you were hoping for, that week 2 incident was incredibly unfortunate but I can tell you your record in no way reflects your strength as a player nor how instrumental you were to our success as a team. We kind of did you dirty as well with the oras swap even if you volunteered for it, still you put forth very solid performances there as well and so did jonas in SV so I guess that worked out well. You have a unique approach to playing offense and a creative mind for the game so I'm sure you will find great success if you keep playing in tournaments, can't wait see you kill it in OSDT.
DaAwesomeDude1 Cheers to our cursed slot #2...I guess it's ironic the 2 tiers we really wanted to spend for solid slots ended being the most unlucky, you played so well in your games it feels bad either ridiculous RNG or insormontable matchups lined up against you. Still I loved your attitude and the fact you still would be back early in the week to start your preparation regardless of what happened the weekend prior, that was a true winning mentality. I'm glad I got to know you a little bit this tournament and enjoy retirement if this really is your final run as well, glad you could end on a win.
Star You were basically our second "Lock" from our early planning together with xrn as you were incredibly solid last year with whatever team you were given, your ability to adapt to any format even doubles is not something you see very often on this site and I'd say is quite the impressive feat, happy we could snag you for such a cheap price. I had a lot of fun teaming together again and watching your games was a treat as always, congrats on another great performance and best of luck with your future endeavors on here!
kaori W. None of us in the manager team had any clue on how to help in DUU so I'm extremely happy we got you for cheap because you absolutely killed it this season. I know you're not happy about how the second half of your season went, but you also got really unlucky... I'm still happy we got you! And watching the lab that duu channel became later in the season was an insane view, thank you for stepping up for that tiebreak game despite of how messy it ended up being, enjoy the win and freedom if this is your last, happy you got the title you were chasing for so many years.
Zeal To this day, I still have absolutely no idea how we were able to get you with basically no credits left, I guess the self upbid really worked wonders LOL. You had some incredibly important wins against some really strong opposition and at key moments as well! Top it all off with an elite record and you being self sufficient despite being busy most of the time, I really could not have asked for more from a mere 3.5k. If there is a single pickup that won us the tournament then that one is you, enjoy the title and best of luck in OSDT!
Lyssa Lyssa XY. You're one of the closest people to me on here so I'm super glad I could get you and share this victory with you, truth be told I was scared when we only had 3k in auction but thankfully it all worked out... You were the MVP for us when we ejected you in semis, we definitely wouldn't have defeated our curse of losing semifinals everytime without that LOL, glad we won something together! Congratulations on the perfect doubles resume here...and hope you can keep killing it in TFT and on here, now let's win UUPL :)!
jonas After a quick scouting of the pool for who to get with our last 3k, we decided you were the best option, we also decided we should keep looking for other names because that probably wouldn't be enough...that is until lunar said he nommed you and got you so that was it for the draft. You were another one of our massive value picks, 3k sub who goes 4-0 and wins both their playoffs games? I hope you're proud of your run because you did amazing, watching your finals replay did give me a bit of a scare being honest but you pulled through like a champion so well done. Best of luck in OSDT and in future tournaments!
emforbes I still remember when I was starting out on here when SM was current gen and I would watch your replays to understand the tier and how to play doubles, fast forward to now you've been helping our SM slot for the last 3 seasons, I cant understate how incredible your support has been to us, you've definitely saved me several times from loading terrible sets or teams LOL I know I can be really stubborn sometimes. You're 100% the best of all time in SM and I'm so glad I could enjoy one more season with you chilling in our discord, seeing my teams and calling them boring as hell, then also making the suggestions that win me the game when I use them, thanks a lot for carrying me friend.
Nails Thanks a lot for joining in our chat as well from the start! It was really fun hanging out and thanks for dropping in to help in my channel and ss as well sometimes that was very much appreciated, good luck if you'll still play on here and in life friend, see you around!
