SM OU: BHARATH_THEBEST vs. ABR ABR is a really impressive player it shouldn't be that close, nice matchup though
SM OU: Axel vs. Cdumas he's way stronger to my mind, I'm rooting for my french buddy cdumas
SM OU: Eternal Spirit vs. Ban Manaphy Ban Manaphy has an unfair hidden advantage as his main account was bloo a few years ago
SM OU: Femen vs. Kory2600 I'm gonna favor kory here, skilled french player and good friend of mine, gl my guy
SM Doubles: Level 51 vs. marilli this game should be interesting, I don't have DOU knowledge but I assume Level51 is kinda advantaged considering his run and personal experience as a player
SM Ubers: Lacus Clyne vs. The Trap God dunno much about ubers but Lacus Clyne is known as a pretty consistent player
SM UU: teal6 vs. bugzinator close one I guess
SM RU: Ajna vs. Omfuga that guy used to be a ladder hero, dunno much about his run in snake that being said, I wish you good luck Omfugod
SM NU: meeps vs. snaga I really enjoy watching meeps playing tour games, he's a good guy and he should be able to win his game allowing him to get his very own trophy
SM LC: Shrug vs. Sken gl hf it should be fun to watch

if by some chance either the pitvipers or the bushmasters manage to clinch the win by this sunday, they will receive from me a 1/6 scale figure of kanna from kobayashi-san chi no maid dragon (10,800 JPY value; pictured below) to display alongside their trophy!
don't miss out on this one-time offer as there is extreme demand for this product! i hope that this offer will help combat the rampant johning that plagues the tournament community today.
 
yeah so it was my first time managing and i had a lot of fun and think we did a great job. i still believe that we're the best team in the tour but every winner needs some things to go their way and we didnt have that and also didnt do our best in some situations so we fell short. regardless, i was really proud of our draft from day 1 and still am. you guys rock. i think aside from our results in this tour, the best thing dod and i did was create such a nice and relaxed atmosphere. one of my fav things to do after a long day was just come hang out in the chat, load up some music in the bot, and just chill w like 6 of us in call playing randbats on tours or just listening to sg's love stories or listen to diogo say that something is a social construct or have znain relentlessly bully me :pirate:

some things about the format in general: i really like the idea of every win counts but i think the compressed 3 games in 2 weeks is really exhausting for players and affected a lot of teams negatively. personally on my team, we had little motivation to even build / try for the games by the end of phase 2 and were literally carried by our good run in phase 1 lol. despite the tour not being over for many teams till the last day, it was mentally over for teams like the taipans and astrotias since the players lost motivation and i think its the format's fault. i dont have any solution to suggest but i think it should be discussed before the next iteration of this tour.

i didnt wanna do individual shout outs but literally everyone on my team is asking me to do them so whatever lol:

first, thank you luigi and isa for hosting. you guys are getting some shit for many things but thats what you signed up for lol. ppl will always disagree w/ decisions taken

dodmen - ive always wanted to team with you in some fashion. i was really hoping tony could get you in uupl but ict snatched you from us. even so, teaming with you in this tour meant a lot to me because you were one of the first ppl on smogon to give me a chance when i was trying to make a name for myself. that simple act of kindness went a long way and gave me confidence as a player, builder, and even just a participant of the forums. i had a lot of fun from beginning to end and hope we can team again in the future

M Dragon - we first teamed in upl and there i learned exactly why you are a top player. you can play in all kinds of high pressure situations and offer advice to everyone. im really glad that we were able to get you bc i didnt trust too many ppl in ubers and getting you paid off. you didnt get the record you wanted but you were bullshitted many times so its whatever. i had a lot of fun discussing various ideas and figuring out whether to use overheat pdon or not lmao. if retains somehow get added next yr know that you will be a serpent again.

Leftiez - man, you are the best teammate anyone couldve asked for. i was really excited to team with you since i kind of know your approach to games thru brawl LOL. but really, you built a lot of cool teams and helped everyone out and even created endless memes for us. believe me id never post half the shit i did if you didnt tell us to go in the thread and just post :madmad: or the dumb geeeuaah lmfao. you shouldnt feel bad that you didnt clutch it in the end bc irl comes first and its no individual's fault for us losing. its a shame that youre quitting :( but im glad you'll still hang around discord and brawl >:)

TheThorn - well at least we broke the curse by losing in semis instead of finals :cwl:. teaming w you in spl showed me how good of a teammate you are and how good of a player you are as well. you didnt have the best tour but i dont blame you since you've been wanting to quit and signed up cus ppl asked. regardless, im glad you joined us 1 last time to play and "LOL" each time i did something dumb

soulgazer - i remember that day you pmd me about playin ru and saved my draft. my ru plan so far was "some random tour player + some builder". your ass went 3-0 phase 1 and then got rocked phase2 lmfaoo. then we moved you to nu and you STILL had no teams oh my god. all that aside, i think you are an amazing player. i think at your best you were prob the best player on our team its just a shame that you dont have as much time. well it doesnt matter anyway, the shinto ruin serpents is actually a dating agency undercover, hopefully we didnt fail there as well :x

Lycans - my man pokejose...clinched the best uu record in the tour :fire:. i think the first thing dod and i agreed to is "lets get lcans for uu". youre such a beast dude oh my god. watching you play always made me happy cus you have this crazy aggressive playstyle and just have control the entire game. you even showed this in the tiebreak game where the beginning just made our chat explode w your fire plays. dont feel bad abt the last game cus you subbed in within 5 mins of me telling you lmao. also, thanks for teaching me some spanish words in call ;)

Kickasser - kick le sang le 100 :fire: :madman: :weary: :serpent:. i know you feel bad about your performance but really its ok, you were busy but still did as much as you could to help us out even after getting benched. thats all i can ask for honestly. having you in our chat was a lot of fun because you are like a ray of sunshine and always made the chat active. also your music taste is flames oml

Heysup - dude i didnt even have you on our lc plan cus of your wack sign up post. then i pm tdk mid draft askin "heysup or kingler", response: "idk heysup?". and then dod and mdrag told em youre fire so iwas like fuck it lets do it and man im so glad. you were absolutely incredible this entire tour. its a shame that youre done now cus you really are one of the best lcers ever. sorry we raided your channel with weeb shit 1 time

Demantoid - i remember when we drafted you and a buncha ppl asked me "who??" alas they didnt know im the talent scout god. jokes jokes biosci told me in scoots 1 day "demantoid is good" and so i just trusted him and it panned out. youre actually a beast dude. i think youre hands down the best dubs player in terms of raw execution. i never said it but every time we tested i was always in awe because i thought i had the game won and then you somehow found a way to get back in it and clinch the win. after we'd test id always tell dod "yo demantoids a fucking beast, this guys so smart". pleeeeeeeease disappear for like 2 months till spl so we get you for cheap :)))) :sogood: :solewd: ALSO i wish you'dtalk more lmao, but i cant rly blame you for being :soshy:

Lax - thiccer than snorlax :weary: you had a weird season cus some games you played fire then some you jus flopped but it was your first team tour so icant rly blame you. but you def developed a shit ton since the beginning of snake. i was really impressed w how you ate up rodri in slam. our late night convos w me you rozes and garay were a lot of fun. also incessantly trolling rozes w the faticate memes were funny as fuck.

Sabella - omg my mans booty, it was weird that you were still around by r10. i remember during the draft we still needed 1 last ou player and were looking at whos left and im like "wtf, sabs still available?". a lot of ppl were saying diff names but i trusted you the most out of the remaining dudes and it def fucking worked out. rmbr when youcaught the hot #39 in power rankings then went 6-2 in reg season and made finals of olt :cwl:. im glad you're having success bro, the hard work pays off and you def worked the hardest out of our guys.

lighthouses - going into this tour i knew i wanted you on my team 100%. i'll be honest tho i knew we could get you late cus fsr you are super underrated BUT i actually didnt want you for your pkmn skill. i just rly enjoy talking w you and your chat presence. you just bring good vibes to any chat youre in and i sincerely hope we can team again in evry single tour i play ever. you're an extremely logical mature and funny dude which makes the perfect personality for a teammate. that aside, youre insanely fire at pkmn too. i remember your first game vs miyoka i got like 3 pms askin "were u or sg ghostin diogo" :cwl:. you were nervous before the game and sg said "if i win i ask my crush out" then you KILLED miyoka and sg said "win your next game" and then you kill mael LMfao and it still isnt sufficient for bumass sg so you had to also ruthlessly murder natalie oh my god. 3 ppl died for this and sg STILL HASNT ASKED HER OUT. anyway, im really glad you had a good showing.

Znain - lmfao dude i remember when you said "you got a slayer on the bench" so we released you and you outplayd lednah like EVERY turn it was actually insane ahahah. man you went 0-4 but it def isnt representative of how good you are.i legit think playing wise you were like the 2nd best ou'er on the team. i felt confident putting you in any tier honestly. it just sucks real bad that you got stupidly unlucky in half the games you played. i hope you have success in any future tours you play. love you bro, and please dont call me umpa lumpa anymore :(

DestinyUnknown - lmfao dude i remember mdrag bringing your name up during draft and i was like nah nah i dont know anything abt this guy and fucking sg goes "HARD DUNK HARD WQ RIGHT NOW" and dods like "lets do it man" so im like ok fine. im so glad we did because you are actually the best teammate. you're a very logical and down to earth dude and i enjoyed our discussions on various things. you were even willing to help ease some tensions when our team had some troubles in the middle of the season. im sorry you didnt get to play but we wouldve played you in finals, alas pkmn gods knew you were too dangerous and decided to kick us out the tour

Garay oak - ok so i was already considering as like a sub cus you had a nice showing in nupl and were p fire in general but then my mans rodri pmd me and said "buy garay oak :)". i'll never not listen to rodri and so we did. couldnt have asked for a better sub honestly. always building teams in like every tier from nu to ubers and ou and always willing to test. even willing to sub in when we needed it. sure you went 1-2 but it was your first official team tour and 1 of them was an ubers game with like 1 hr of notice lol. im still very proud of you and how you developed as a player. hopefully you can grab a starting spot in spl.

rozes - yea ur a fuckin pussy cus literally everyone on smogon knows youre still around but you insist on hiding but w.e lmao. i remember i snuck you into our team chat and you told me to LIE to my team about hwo you are and im like no so you finally spilled the beans as if anyone actually gave a shit that i added you to the chat. anyway, you were a big help and essentially a second manager for our team. it was really nice to have you cus both dod and i were lazy as shit so having someone do the organizational shit helped a lot. even tho our nu slot didnt do so hot im still extremely thankful you decided to hang out in our chat bc it just made the atmosphere soo much better and a lot more fun. im glad we were still able to share this tour together despite you getting blown away by tdeal6.

------

i wanna thank some other ppl:

habajiga - HUGE thanks to habajiga for working with me for like a month on the logo. you rock dude. im forever grateful

blunder - you actually helped me a shit ton figuring out who i want for ou and just figure out a general draft plan. also put me on to SG THE SLAYER and TOUPIP THE DEMON. thanks for listenin to me talk for hrs and shit, nikka #1

ABR - also helped a bunch w the ou draft and told me to get cdu if i get him, nikka #2

Pearl - id honestly type out a long ass paragraph about how thankful i am for joining our chat for p'offs but im tired and i dont think i need to say it anyway. ps: our music taste is hotter than the hot heatman

FLCL - thanks a ton for joining our chat and helping tame sg for playoffs. i was already exhausted and mightve had a heart attack if you didnt join and pass him u turn type null

col49 - i think like a yr ago i was playing some ru ssnl and i was paired vs like llamas or w.e and someone made it a highlght game and you were the only one who predicted in my favor and said smth like "give the upcoming player some credit". know that i was actually gonna give llamas the win that round but then i saw that and decided to play and ate ass oml. thanks for joining our chat dude and please teach us some culture regarding our music taste lmfao

teal6 - S.O TO NIKKA #0 TEAL6 OMFL

and finally thanks to my main nikkas john, cbb, anti, tony, tdk for various piecs of advice throughout this whole thing.


1 last thing: im really glad that guys like cdumas, ban mana, btb etc are doing well for their 'debut' in the tour scene. you guys are really friendly and good dudes. i wish you all success

INSULT

and every day the paper boy brings more
is a Tiering Contributoris a Past SCL Champion
SM OU: BHARATH_THEBEST (50) vs. (50) ABR - Probably gonna come down to team preview as both players are extremely good preppers, but rooting for btb. dengang
SM Ubers: Lacus Clyne (70) vs. (30) The Trap God - Lacus as been on a tear in this tour (believe she is flawless), and I expect her to continue with this momentum. Also she has beat ttg phase 1 so she also has that going for her. Only way I see ttg winning is if he brings a crazy niche that can catch Lacus off guard. :bot:
