quick shoutouts because UUPL was the first ever team tournament i ever played in and it has a special place in my heart.
want to say that this was one of the most positive and supportive team tour experiences i've ever had, we had a rough start in the beginning of the tournament but knew we were a good team and finished off the regular season very strong. we had a bunch of people step up to the plate and perform well in a new starter role, something that is pretty difficult and want to especially shoutout
Spellcaster Celebiii and
Monky25 for this reason. i think i told you guys partway through the season but your work and improvement during the season did not go unnoticed, i think you guys will be ready to be mainstays very soon. tsr, esche, pak, liam, you guys were the rocks and leadership of this team, and helped support me when i was down and whenever the team was down. also put together an incredible draft and put lots of work into making sure our team had a fighting chance every week. my favorite manager team :)
TSR second uupl was even more fun than the last, even though my record was worse and we didn't get as far. thank you for your work and passion, the team would never be the same without you. keep believing in yourself, your teams, and your preparation. :shootrag:
Pak absolute beast, most clinical player on the team. oras goat, never had a doubt in my mind even when you were down in games that you would pull it out of your ass or go down fighting. you're a super chill guy and very good at pokemon.
Skarph knew i wanted you from the moment i got you to signup for the tour. i was begging pak and tsr to do whatever it takes to get you and i was not disappointed. you're an incredible player, i know you had a couple games you weren't happy with, but we all had those. your thorough preparation and play made me excited to watch you every week. great job my man, really happy we could team. stick around, even though you will be expensive surely fuck fuck fuck
Spellcaster not one of my oldest friends on the site, but certainly the person i talk to one of the most if not the most on here. i was really happy you were able to get some games in, because you have a good mind for SV UU and were essential to our prep even before you touched the playing field. big games are tough, and take it from me who has a horrible playoff record, in the big stage at first you lose a lot. it sucks, but all you can do is try to improve and come back stronger, love ya my bro talk soon
vivalospride one of my best friends on smogon, unwaverable personality, diehard okc fan, and never ending sense of humor. you were amazing at helping lead the team even when we decided to bench you, still helping in multiple slots, testing, and being the viv that i always love. thank you for your work my friend, stay in touch
Chaitanya i think we lost because we didn't use whirlpool cloyster. thanks for using my teams and practicing with them even when you were unfamiliar with the tier and i was hounding you to make sure we were ready. thanks for stepping up and getting some really big wins and being a relaxing presence in the server.
ProDigeZz you struggled a bit in the beginning but ended up getting some much needed wins in ss, thanks for trusting my prep even when it didn't work out. pdt prod still the ultimate ss core.
Monky25 as i said you were essential to sv prep as well as ss prep and was glad to get you in a couple times even if you weren't starting. you definitely have the potential to be a regular starter, keep working hard and you'll start to rack up wins, was happy to have you.
Celebiii you were helpful in sv, ss, and saved our gsc slot. you also always cheered on the team, through your busy schedule. i've said what i've wanted to say to you during the tour and above, really good job and thanks for bailing out
HSA who apparently we need to prepare a salary for next time, ty HSA
Amukamara my partner in crime and goat of BW, not sure how you keep putting up godly records but as always you came through big time. shaq and kobe type shit.
Leru great server presence because you constantly act like a clown, but you saved our dpp slot from total despair so ty.
Parpar par double you had an amazing tournament, always prepping thoroughly with the rag, and playing some of the more exciting games we watched as a team this tournament, including the crazy semis game. you're a chill dude, was fun to team with you.
Ninja thanks for stepping up in SS in the beginning and trying hard playing lot of test games, even if it didn't work out. appreciate you being there and playing with us. :)
