whew guess I'm out, s/o xavgb , Chazm, Andyboy, Thinkerino for testing everytime I asked em too, also special s/o to SectoniaServant and drampa's grandpa for believing in me :blobnom:
I might have overthinked a bit in the series, I did know the stab team, since stresh used it against me in stab open finals, so I knew aegi was spell tag, I still thought he wouldnt stay in since it was his wincon but it porbably wasnt worth the risk since my sylv could have been defensive, g2 I prob could have gotten it, wish they would fix the tooltip, but I counted there were 3 moongeist left, meanwhile there actually were still 4, I did know their bh team too, since andy used it against drago and said stresh built it, thoughtdarmz would have cool mu, but I could never get v-create on the zama since I thought they'd go etern first both times (I'm Photon Geyser mg lo gdz, if I could get etern with it barraskeewda would have been a nice wincon, if he switched out I still would have gotten a kill), dynamaxing gdz was def a mistake, was probably kinda tilted, thought he'd either double on my etern switch or body press, but cotton guard was the best play for sure so dynamax didnt make much sense.
looking forward to finals

Well i'm late but i'll post my opinion about my process.

Tbh, I was surprised about my own results, specially in AAA. With this final, i succes to be here, in the Playoffs of the Grand Slam V.
First, i face the goat Andyboy, and with a good prep and patience, i succes to defeat him.
Second, i face the number one and a solid Stresh. With my stinging defeat 3-0 vs him, i can see I'm not confirmed (not yet ?) as a top player, about preparation and IG, i need to improve myself, again and again. I repeat myself, but gg stresh, you were better than me.

The next step is to see this final, good luck to both.
And after, if i'm draft (and please, not overpay), try OMPL.

To finish this message, i want to S/o, without them, i wouldn't be here.

Matiss98, LaBalladeDesCieux, DF-Shock, Alternatif, kuyukihime and Arkhan for all test, team and opinions
And all french/arcade people to support me, it's was... unique, crazy, beautiful. See you next time :)

Lost is a series that I'm pretty proud of, especially the techs in STAB and MnM and how I utilized those to gain an advantage in those tiers.

Shoutouts to Andyboy and MultiAmmiratore for MnM help, blinkboy for passing me goat NFE teams, aesf for the spiciest AAA team, a loser for the BH team for finals, and Chazm and PinkDragonTamer for last minute testing.

Congratulations to xavgb for winning this tour; it's well deserved. Once again, a big shoutout for the teams you've passed me along the way. I definitely wouldn't have gotten to finals without your broken teams.

As always this tour has been a great ride and I'll be back next year!

Won in a rollercoaster of a series. I'd like to apologize for the mini-rant in the OM discord after g4 I was feeling a bit overwhelmed after getting smashed two games in a row even if I didn't feel like I could do much to stop them (to be clear those were still very solidly played games from Cata there btw, me saying I didn't feel like I could do much shouldn't detract from that).

Onto more positive things, HUGE shoutout to Tack :] for the NFE teams, literally don't know what I would have done without some teams and someone to talk through the meta with. S/O Thinkerino too for looking at my teams and telling me i'm crazy while I decide to use the team anyway.

Good timing to put this tour to rest too with the OMPL draft coming up, you can watch me be bad at drafting in approximately an hour and 16 minutes if you enjoyed this.
