Everyone : "you're such a friend!!!"Hii, just wanted to do a shoutout post here cuz my team is awesome and I’m extremely proud of everyone on it!
On a personal level I wasn’t doing my absolute best by the time this tour was starting, and it took me a really long time to find my footing, but y’all made a sorta hectic time in my life much much better, probably without even knowing, so I’m extremely grateful to all of you, and I even managed to recover slightly from what could’ve been a much worse record! I especially grew as a player and as a person, so I hope that whatever this tour gave me my teammates also got tenfold.
asa, you’ve become one of my closest friends and I am so forever happy to be able to share time with you so often, as tier leaders but mainly as friends. Your care and dedication are only second to your kindness, and I could never ask for a better co-manager to share this amazing experience with. Always a blast building and bouncing off ideas around, you also helped me a lot knowing the stuff I was going through and trusting me all the same. I’ll never forget it, oomf <3
zS, you were sent to the trenches and sacrificed. I know you did not expect your run to go this way and I feel like we definitely could’ve communicated things better to make your season go much different, but I never doubted, and still don’t, doubt your ability to love this game. I know if you were in SV instead of me you probably could’ve achieved a stellar record, and, as a fellow NUPL winner, am aware of your skill and dedication. I know next time we team up it’ll be an awesome time again. Thank you for putting up with us, and I’m always rooting for you.
PTF, I gotta admit I was as unsure about this slot as you were starting this season but if there was one thing I was sure of, despite the tough pool, was the fact that you would try your absolute best every week. Apparently, that was an understatement from me, you not only performed, you dominated a terrifying pool, were creative, and clearly had a load of fun doing it. Testing with you for hours was sometimes tiring but whenever we found that one team, it was always the most rewarding thing ever. Building with you was a blast and I know it won’t be the last time. Be proud of your performance the way I’m proud of you, my lovely friend!
Aberforth, I must admit I was not familiar with your ORAS game… But holy, testing with you and losing like 80% of my games to you only to then own almost every week showed me how reliable and skillful you are. You not only knew how to play but you also worked your ass off on the builder with our help and always knew when your team was ready. You were fun to talk to and extremely consistent, even despite some personal stuff that got in the way of your season. You were definitely not here to fuck spiders!!!! (this is aussie slang, pls mods)
EviGaro, my dearest, awesomest oomf. Not sure if there’s anything to say that I haven’t said before, but thank you for putting a baller performance as always. You never fail to give me a heart attack by building on the same day as your game, but you know your shit so well I can never doubt you. You’re an amazing friend and I know next one will be our one. We will one day work on that duosion weakness and you’ll be unstoppable!!!
Alkione, you’re weird and funny as fuck. We got you for literal free and you did not disappoint in the slightest, pulling a very good performance despite irl complications. Everytime you’d talk in the server I knew I’d end up giggling a lot, so thank you for just being who you are. Would love to team up again, and I wish you the best of luck with everything going on!
Lily, asa and I went hard for you cuz we knew how reliable and consistent you’d be but seeing your thought process was incredibly fun. You always made time to come up with something awesome and cared, even if it was behind the scenes from us. I always knew it’d be fun to team up from being on Idols discord for years, and I’m hopeful it’s not the last time. I'm also so glad things worked out for you w that whole thing and stuff!!!!!
Estarossa, I’ve known you for years and even though we haven’t been particularly close I knew your dedication to the game and mostly a gen like GSC in particular. Seeing your love for it, the techs you’d come up with and the quality of your play was always lovely as someone who’s a total idiot when it comes to GSC. It was fun being able to talk again and I hope we manage to do it again in the future!
Teh, Week 2 is starting let me make one thing clear, we are friends and we will always be friends. Care if ur active care bout ur irl commitments care if u prep care if u gotta bullshit ur scheduling care if u dont link ur games. Dont care ur name is bolded bcuz I'm not watching an rby pu game at any point in my life. (ty for being fun and getting some super clutch wins for us)
Trixx, you deserve a super massive special shoutout. You’ve been one of my best friends on the site for so long and I’m so glad that we were able to give you such a warm welcome back into the community, a much deserved one too. Your care for supporting every slot and the team as a whole were the most obvious, and you were always there when we needed you to play a game, when we needed to discuss ideas or when we were just up to calling and talking about whatever. It’s so lovely to reunite with a friend like you again and I’m sure we will have many more opportunities to make it to finals and beyond, but if there’s something I’m even more sure of is that with you the trip is as worth it as the destination. VROOM VROOM!!!
feen and spell, y’all were great support and constantly participated in lovely convos throughout the span of the season. I’m sorry you couldn’t get to play in the way you wanted and at the quantity that you probably deserved (hopefully pupl is the one), but your contributions were always acknowledged, especially when feen the dumb loaded the WRONG team and made me REALLY mad, I absolutely cannot stand that guy and I really gotta stop thinking about it before I just
Meri Berry, pook (now I’m doing it on purpose see), it is impossible for me to predict where I’d be without you right now! I'm not even sure I'd be managing or even TL! Truly the purple fish of this mortal coil, you’re my right hand through and through, and you're real!!! Thank you for being a Komala and caring so much even when you technically did not have to, and thank you especially for always being there for me. <3
Chloe, lovely person with HILARIOUS vgc teams. I’m forever rooting for you no matter where you go, thank you for coming along for the ride with us. Hoping you can always rely on me the way I rely on you as a friend.
Good luck to both teams through tiebreaks! Excited to see some epic games and for an even better finals; thank you ken for being an awesome host as well, extremely communicative and easy to talk to, and once again to Felucia for a lot of auction help that allowed this to happen!
