Hello everyone. I wanted to make this my 1500th message but whatever, make it 1501. Now that the Marxist Marowaks have been officially eliminated from PUPL, I'd like to say a couple of things. I'm not going to discuss how the draft went (I'm saving that for my
obvious interview in the recap article), but just to lay down some general considerations. First of all, I'd like to thank all of my team members for the effort they put into the tournament. I had to make very few substitutions and everyone played their games when asked to, which is something that people take for granted but as we have seen it's not always going to happen. We all got along pretty well I think, and even though we indeed encountered some difficulties at some point particulary at the beginning, we managed to overcome them. I like to think that everyone believed we could get through until the very end... or at least I did, thinking about ties, w-l ratios, how the Stoutlands getting 4 activity wins could fuck us in whichever scenario. I (but I should say "we", really) truly never gave up, as I think everyone in the discord server can confirm. Some shoutouts now but this won't be very long.
Tricking: I don't really have much to add to the other post. 20k well spent. Shame for that last game that will ruin the perfect record, but alas.
LordST: Another investment that proved to be worth making. Nibbas crying overpay and then getting bodied week after week in bw and adv alike lol...
MiyoKa: I'm gonna be very honest and say that right after the auction I was regretting buying you because I thought there would be some behavior issues. Glad that didn't happen at all and instead I got a solid old gens player.
pancake: Cut the self commiseration and just give your best! You're a great player and can definitely achieve great results.
GeneralAnnoyance: Thanks a lot for all the effort and building you put in for all of us, really. And the one true FLCL slayer.
Arifeen: "hound plz buy me all other teams have shit names" yes I agree actually especially
Anty
Shaneghoul: Definitely the pleasant surprise of the draft, but maybe that's on me since I'm not really into the tours community. Great player and good teammate. Even if you don't main this tier (not yet at least!!) you still helped with building and testing a lot, and I really appreciate it.
Raiza: Italian team represent
YABO Bushtush: In hindsight I should have probably given you more space but the next time I see that Kabutops set you're getting banned
Star: P sure you were our ORAS salvation since no one plays that tier
Chrisloud1: Unfortunate circumstances happened so we didn't really see you. Hope everything is fine.
Anty: Trash
dundies False. : imagine hound+false+dundies! the team that never was...
galbia: Win!!
This post might seem a bit dramatic and maybe it is, but this tour really meant a lot to me. Thanks everyone! And see you next year, maybe.
