And so a team: battlers are the victors!
Thanks everyone for making this an awesome All-Star week!
But wait, it's not over yet, we've still got a couple of announcements left.
First off I will no longer be participating in the Smogon Premier League, either this season or in future seasons.
There were some questionable trades that I believe happened this week (I'm not pointing any fingers), that I was not able to veto due to cries of being biased. And I cannot blame the people for thinking that. I can't even make an activity call / midweek judgement without people assuming I'm doing it in order to benefit my team. It's both unfair to my team (in the case where they actually deserve the ruling), as well as makes the tournament seem more of a farce. All my playing has done is lend credence to these claims as well as done a disservice to the tournament's integrity. So I'm removing myself as a player in order to take a more impartial role as host.
With that out of the way, let's get to the part everyone cares about!
