Aight, so idc if shoutouts are kosher or not. I have stuff to say, so I'm gonna write individual shoutouts.
Zebraiken: I know I was a nobody going into this WCOP, and it's not like that has changed, but I want to thank you for giving me a shot to be a part of such a great team. Before the season started, nobody thought Central had a chance of making playoffs, but I think your leadership really helped push the team to get as far as it did. You're a solid player through and through, and it was a pleasure getting to work with you and getting to know you. Congrats on putting Central back on the map, and I look forward to coming back next year and working to take that trophy.
Finchinator: What can one say about Momma Finch? You are easily one of the strongest battlers on our team, but you really should stop using Stone Edge. Any further use would just be tempting fate. Nah, but, seriously, thanks for all the work you put into your tier and others. You're an awesome guy, and getting to know you was pretty damn cool too. I'm sure we'll be talking a lot in the future.
Golden Gyarados: It was really awesome to have you on the team and in our channel. Your RBY games were some of the most exciting in the tour, which I didn't even think was possible. Hope you'll grace Central with your skills again next year.
e7e: You're probably the most focused/determined member of our team. Great job this season, and it's always really fun to watch you battle. You'll make some more lunches for Central next year, I'm sure.
Laurel: Haven't really talked to you too much, but you're a great battler and a solid addition to the team. Thanks for sticking around through the end.
Hikari: Another person I haven't talked to much, but your DPP battle was incredible to watch. Nice job maintaining that undefeated record in playoffs, bro.
Improbable: Man, you went into this tour without a ton of recognition and just blasted through your competition. You have a fantastic mind for pokemon, and I see you winning big tours left and right in the future. I enjoyed every battle I had against you, and I'm probably a better battler because of them. Keep up the good work, man.
d0nut: You definitely know how to shut people up by winning at the right time. You're a good player through and through and discussing teams/playing with you was always enjoyable.
Living So Zambian: Who is this guy? He's never in the channel. Nah, but, seriously you were one of the bigger names on our team going into the season and you turned it out in playoffs. Good work throughout the entire season, and your teams are probably my favorite of those I've seen. Hope you don't mind my stealing them.
Sam: Sam the man. Congrats on your ORAS debut, and I hope you will continue with the tier. You are one of the strongest all around players on the team, and I hope you'll be back around next year as well.
Jpw234: Always fun to chat and/or battle with you. Thanks for all the help with testing and what not. You're a solid player, and I know we'll see more from you in the future.
Mr378: Thank you for being so willing to help with GSC and other oldgens. God knows Central needed the support, and we would not have won nearly as many games as we did in old gens without you.
Moony: I feel like a nickname like "quiet thunder" or something would be fitting for you. You don't talk much, but when you do, your analyses of in-game situations are usually spot on. You are a great battler, and I know you will make a name for yourself.
fatty: We haven't chatted much, but you're a great guy and a good player.
llamas/toshi/m2h: Where would we be without the support of our (dogs). Thanks for all your help with testing and the like. You all deserved a spot on the team just as much as anyone else.
One last shoutout to
Zamrock for tutoring me through B101 a few months ago. No way in hell I could have made a WCOP team w/o the skills you taught me.
Okay, so I think that covers everyone I wanted to address. It's been a great season, guys, and I am incredibly proud of what we've accomplished. Thanks for the fun series, Spain, and gl in the future to you and all the other teams. I'm not rooting for any specific team - I'm just excited to watch some good pokemon matches.
Edit: Sorry
rural. Didn't mean to forget you - you are the rural to my urban after all. You are one weird dude, but you're hilarious and great to talk to and battle with. Thanks for your help. n_n
Edit2: Originally didn't include
Cased for reasons I won't go into, but I slept on it and felt bad, so here goes. While I find you to be annoying most of the time, you really are one of the best players on our team and you contributed quite a bit to our success. Thanks for learning a new tier, and good luck to you in the future. Maybe I'll send you some gatorade.
