I'd like to preface this by saying ggs to the Sharks. We got lucky, you guys would've been deserving winners and I know it sucks having it experienced before, many of you are bound to get one. It's now two years in a row we face the sharks in the finals and both series have been extremely competitive and down to the wire, I personally look forward to this rivalry representing itself in following years, be it with same or different managers, who knows. As for ourselves, I'd be lying if I said this win wasn't satisfying after everything we went through this season, this tournament took a huge toll on me and the bans really made it seem like the work put in during the months in preparation of the draft and the tournament was going to waste, but we pulled through against everything. Now, onto shoutouts:
Tricking the first time was so nice we had to do it twice
Gtcha wasnt sure about your motivation before the tour started, but once you expressed your wish to play for us again and promised 100% commitment I was on board. Thanks for another amazing season, throwback to last year shoutouts (''I believe you have what it takes to keep putting up consistent results, as there are margins of improvement''), you proved last spl wasn't a one and done and cemented yourself as a great player. I was slightly mad when we got to tiebreak and we couldn't field our 38.5K player, but I must've forgot how clutch you are in these type of games, how well you adapted to sv mpressed me.
McMeghan possibly the player I most looked forward to teaming with after the draft, I'm happy I got to know you better, meeting new people is one of the main reasons I take part in team tournaments. Despite you saying you weren't that active compared to other team tournaments you played in the past, I was still positively surprised by your chat presence and the help you provided to our old gens. I really appreciated that you stepped up in the tiebreak to play a gen you hadn't played in a while. Seeing you happy to be on a winning team after many unfortunate seasons was great, a season like this was long overdue for you, glad we helped accomplish it.
Skypenguin I wanted to buy you since your stour 31 series against Tricking, looks like we picked the best moment to lol. You truly leveled up this season, in a hard pool you put up 9 wins and established yourself as a top echelon sm player. You always prepared thoroughly and played some extraordinaire games. I was extremely confident in your play and that is why I wanted you to be in the tiebreak no matter what. It could've ended better but nobody is perfect, tb games are incredibly high stakes with huge amount of pressure and mistakes can happen. Overall you had an amazing season, enjoy the red.
bbeeaa this spl would've been too relaxing so you had to go ahead and get banned. we were just getting started when the bans happened, sucks how it turned out because im sure you wouldve contributed much more and ended with your usual insane record, and having to kick you from the chat added insult to injury. thanks for your contributions last year and this one, particularly your input in ss has been pivotal once again (i'm still amazed at how that subzap team won). you said you're quitting so see you in a few months.
Serpi after our last 2 rby campaigns I was set on buying a solid RBY player for this season. Already knew you were competent after last spl where you joined our server for playoffs. You were much more than just solid, just like skype you improved on last years performance and finished the tour with your best record to date. A man of few words outside his channel, you went into your series with great preparation despite rby being the gen we supported the least which I greatly commend.
zioziotrip you were doing things well until your ban and was on track to have a breakout performance. I wish you kept up with the game and continued helping us but I understand it's hard to stay motivated in that circumstance, was still cool having you hang around. Looking forward to you getting back into it when the unban happens, the potential is there.
DAHLI we weren't exactly sure on who to pick after zio got banned, there were a few names floating around, we ended up going with you and it paid off greatly. Another player that hanged around with us in some past tournaments, I'm glad we got to team officially and that you showed everyone you deserved a starting spot from the start. The way you approached this tournament made me slightly less mad we lost zio, similarly you had a great attitude towards preparing games, and your fresh ideas and takes had a big role in making our SV core start winning again.
DeepBlueC After our initial buys we were low on credits and I didn't expect to land a top DPP buy, however our hail mary bid ended up working and I was ecstatic about getting you. Considering our draft strategy, getting a DPP that guaranteed wins for a low price made me very confident our team could've made playoffs. You have what it takes to put up at least 7 or more wins in a season, you play great games but you get into your head during preparation and it ends up holding you back. I relate a lot to your post in the DPP thread and I know it's not something easy to overcome, hell I haven't, overthinking is one of the reasons I don't enjoy this tournament as player as much. Thanks for putting in maximum effort despite being busier than ever, this trophy is also long overdue for you.
Aliss the raiders totem, this season didn't work out for you. It sucks because you know how to play but nerves prevented you from performing as well as you could. I won't lie, seeing you go entire games without your timer showing up once made me mad, but I know not thinking too hard on your moves makes you less nervous, if you can fix the mental aspect of your game I'm sure you'll start winning more. You were a good chat presence as usual, and I appreciated you were always available to sub in if needed, that made me less paranoid about activity shenanigans considering you were our only substitute for a big part of the season LOL.
Baloor this season could've also been better for you, some of the games you played were really rough to say the least. However what's more important is that you clutched your finals game and have been instrumental to our teams success in many ways, from motivating each one of the players in difficult moments, to being a great chat presence that spawned many memes (ROARING LOOR, LTG, etc.) and kept the chat active, to building many SV teams and stepping up to the plate when bea got banned. You did everything you could to win this tournament and that's all it matters to me, fuck the doubters.
RaiZen1704 you played most of your games in a tier you weren't well versed at because the team needed it and you ended up getting some nice victories. I'm glad you got your first sheet wins on our team after some rough experiences, there is still a lot you can improve on but you have some good individual results, so I'm sure that with the right attitude and adjustments teamtour success will follow.
Kebab mlml we wanted you all along, we know you are good and you were in many of our draft plans so picking you up for cheap was a home run. Despite having teamed with you in other occasions I have to say you went above my expectations, this is the tour you put the most effort into and it showed, you had a very positive season and I already told you that, keep this up and it'll be hard for you to have a bad tournament again. I know you wanted to win the finals game really badly and the loss really hit your morale but I'm sure the overall win makes the pill easier to swallow. Enjoy the scudetto here but not irl because you support Inter!
false the galse, I don't think any other player would've been willing to play were they in the situation you were in but you didn't complain and played all your games, getting important wins and among those a crucial final game. Your play is consistent and you've been putting up good results for a while, so I hope this won't boost your ego but yes you are underrated. Perhaps you didn't get to play the tiers you like the most in this tournament but you did what the team needed, having a player as flexible as you in our lineup and given circumstances really saved our season.
Ash KetchumGamer you have been a threat in individual tournaments for a while so you were on our radar and we were really glad to get you on board. The season started well for you (the play you made W1 is still an highlight of the tournament for me), but then irl commitments made it harder and you started hitting some bumps in the road. I was pleasantly surprised by how wholesome of a teammate you are, you were always positive and it helped cheer everyone up in tough times. I liked your willingness to build your own stuff, but also that you realized when some team picks weren't working and trusted others. You have a good mind for the game and it showed in some of the games you played, but inexperience and nerves, this being your first SPL and in a tier with new mechanics, costed you games which is understandable. That said, you have results and a good attitude so I believe you can only get better from here if you put in work.
Jisoo your BW cup run made it clear to me that you were competent in the tier and that you could've performed well in SPL, especially with someone more experienced giving input. Now, there is a big difference between just performing well and going 9-2 beating some of the tiers best so saying I was impressed is an understatement. This season I decided to be more chill than usual in the BW department, your approach was clearly working from the get go and so I let you cook, I always made sure to give my opinion on things and give help whenever it was needed but you picked up the tiers intricacies very well so there wasn't much need of that. I really liked your confidence going into games and in general, for example when you volunteered to tiebreak. I believe that had a big impact in how you played your games, you played very sharp, made ballsy plays when needed but at the same times understood the wincons very clearly, and overall just made close to no mistakes (we don't talk about the Loom), so I agree with Tricking when he says you were the MVP.

Fakee thanks for the tests in multiple tiers, true saviour when noone else was around, your bw help was also appreciated.
njnp Loved how willing you were to help our SV dudes despite not being on the team, you were a potential pick for us so it makes me happy thinking we wouldn't have missed if we got you.
procorphish grazie per l'aiuto in sv, buona fortuna in wcop ma non ne avete bisogno.
clean Kibo schizo couple, epic chat activity and epic sv gaming, thanks kibo for getting banned allowing us to win, clean also appreciated your help in machines, good stuff.
