I had a great time this season, so figured I'd do some shoutouts
(pretty briefly). ok briefly was a lie, i do type fast tho
hs so it didnt take too long but the post did.
first of all thanks so much to
BigFatMantis for the amazing amount of effort you put into this tour, truly one of the most magical things I've seen on this site in a while. i cant over emphasize this ... this tour was legit the most hype thing i've ever been a part of, right up there with the actual official tours on this site. (UUFPL for Smogon Snake Draft replacement y/n??). It was an amazing, constructive experience for so many new players and I think the community owes you a ton for this, and it also makes me genuinely happy to see how much you enjoyed hosting. thanks also to
itsjustdrew for the podcasts and to all the people who updated the resources in the original post (replays, usage stats, etc.), you helped make this tour awesome too!
next,
avarice, thank you for drafting me (despite costing 24000
), I had a blast talking to you this season. You're a great manager, created an awesome environment that got me to put way more effort into this tour than I anticipated (as is clear from the length of my post). You're also a great player, thanks for putting urself in p much every UU tier in order to make rosters work and get us to finals + tiebreak.really loved spending the time with u, we didnt win but id do this again in a heartbeat!

team shoutouts, just going down the roster:
QWILY qwily!! you're an excellent player and teammate; I thought you were very impressive in-game, and the semifinals deciding game between you and rinnegan was a perfect example of that. extremely clutch stuff!! your 5-3 record proves that, and a lot of those losses came from us putting you in an awkward position for a week or 2 (a bad SS team from me LOL or us slotting u in SM initially). hope you stay around UU. you were also an amazing social presence, super nice dude + had some absolutely hilarious memes, so I'm really glad we got to meet through this. thanks to you this audio will be stuck in all our heads forever
ironwater hello aaron-water [definitely not your name] great job this season! we didn't really have many up-and-coming UUers on this squad, mostly established players that main other tiers, so I was super happy when we decided to give you games at the end of this season. going 3-1 versus your opponents is great, and 2 of those wins came in playoffs which is even clutcher! losing to
Kitten Milk (known cheeser) doesnt even count so basically 3-0. love your positive attitude hope u stick around!!
Maki vulpix vul~ #LeFraud #MakiMouseRing only ended with a positive record because of an ACT WIN and went 0-3 playoffs but it's ok because you're killing it in WCOP [and also, when im not memeing u, one of my fav ppl to hang out with on this site]. It's been a pleasure to team with you in this tour and RUPL, you're clearly a strong player outside of just Mono (where you are excellent (except in BLT)).
Splash Great job in WCOP, Ik this tour wasnt the most important thing for you (which is totally fine, of course) but you were nice to talk to and chill with the whole tour. Sorry
PinkDragonTamer sabotaged the shit out of u with non psyshock lati LOL
Alkione any guesses on how many times you tagged @everyone this tour?
sorry we had to torture you by 1) losing this tour and 2) making u watch us do badly at and slander BW while not being able to play it (i'd say blame
BigFatMantis but i know you've let him know once or twice !!). Let's win DPP PL tho '-' you did well in DPP this season so thanks for that
Ampha Ampha!!! I'm proud of all the team but have special pride in helping u out as my ADV UU tutee :D the first 2 weeks in SS/SM didnt work out but we really clicked with you going 3-1 in ADV (even tho I sabotaged you with Protect>Rest on SDef Wish Kanga and ... unviable golem). You're another really pleasant guy to talk to and I really appreciate the test games, building discussions, etc. Also I really wanted to get you because you're like 3-0 vs me in DPL, I think you're for sure a great player and hope that more people give you chances to show that. Hope to see you break out in ADV Cup / UU Classic!!
Lord Thorx maybe you go by MultiNightmare on discord because of the multiple nightmare matchups we ran into.... even though I couldn't help in GSC you did well to keep trying all season despite a seemingly endless array of bullshit from bad MUs to bad luck and so on. you were the first one to slay GSC demigod Electric win so that counts for something tho! Best of luck in other tours, you deserve for things to go your way far more often in the future
Reece sup reece!! we didnt talk a ton this season but tysm for carrying RBY and being the fearless no johns gamer every team needs. You really turned it around in the second half of the season after everyone (cough cough
BigFatMantis ) said you were bad at RBY, ending up positive! It's also great to see how passionate you are about your old gen lower tiers of choice; thanks so much for supporting GSC, for instance. Best of luck in future tours, especially those where you are allowed to GSC!

bench mob:
miraage who ️invited ️this️ kid??️ LOL my man. thank you so much for all the fun times this season, glad we were more viable than US Midwest en UUWC (tho u didnt win games in either bop...). Seriously though, you were an excellent chat presence, don't worry too much about the losses I def think we could have prepped you better for those (despite the greediest spin EVER vs mac3). Your memes were so funny, genuinely helped a lot to make semis/finals such a good time. post them in this thread omg i cant figure out how to upload a .mov and i wrote a bunch of text so i dont wanna figure it out
Vaboh (dpp ou seasonal champion) (wcop starter) sry we couldnt play u more in the end, but i know this tour was just a bad time for you with WCOP prep. Good luck if you guys make playoffs, I think you have a ton of skill and am glad you seem to have found a home there in OU / US West! Happy to feed u teams for these lower tier tours any time (just dont throw, which, as
faded love mentioned at least 100 times, u apparently did vs lyss)
martha Ik this tour didnt go your way, time to pour on the BW slander
hope you can have the breakout tour you want soon, I think that your play was quite solid despite a disappointing record so once you find a tier you enjoy building hopefully that will lead to success
Celebiii found a different hobby good for you man mons lowkey sucks

helpers:
Kitten Milk you helped a ton, sorry i was too time-consumed and/or sane to make ur crazy ideas work but I loved reading about them all (and you owned ironwater w the block steela WTF thanks for not actually helping us)
Decem (deleted signup) (undrafted) thx for supporting maki & helping me toss around ideas too, u killed it in UU for DPL and made PU finals so love to see u kicking ass in lower tiers!!
