Overall, extremely happy with my performance this tour. Proud of myself for how well my prep went in this series plus for how perfectly I executed. I'm also proud of the fact that I built all my teams myself, except for the cursed claw team by eoat and the kyurem spikes team by devin. It's a great feeling to go from someone who was terrible in SPL only 10 months ago, to someone who learned from his mistakes and has been dominant in every tour since. I'm glad I managed to secure an individual trophy and a team trophy (hopefully 2) before I likely take a break after SCL.
In terms of personal shoutouts first off, gotta give a big shoutout to
Eo Ut Mortus and
Empo, as teaming with you guys, watching your play, and incorporating some of the things you do into my own play has improved my game a ton. Another huge shoutouts to
TPP as you're one of my closest friends on this site and the guy I would test/bounce ideas around with the most. Also thanks to
fabwooloo and
devin for giving me scouts vs punny and soulwind, the extra effort helped me with my prep a lot. Finally, thanks to everyone who's been supporting me these past few weeks and being people I enjoy talking to
