damn what an spl
i remember when spl sign ups went up i just had a feeling id get drafted (ppl were telling me things like "you'll get bought for sure" etcetc) so i didn't feel the need to talk to any managers and such. despite that, i was idling on smogtours one day and saw bro fist online. i always thought this guy was cool bc he was kinda mysterious (lol) and he was also an excellent player fresh off a 6-1 in wcop so i said fuck it lemme give it a shot. thank god i talked to you man, youre amazing. i remember one of the things you asked me that day was "what are your thoughts on hp fire scizor / landorus" lmao. And then cbb pmd me on skype later that night saying he can promise a nom at the very least. i was really happy to hear this. it really hurts to lose when we came this far in possibly the tightest spl in history but we had a lot of good and funny moments together and i can confidently say this was the best time i had on smogon.
congrats to the tigers. you guys didnt seem like a playoffs team in the regular season but exceeded all the expectations.
first i'd like to thank the hosts ginku and prague kick for doing an excellent job. you guys were always fun to interact with in the tours discord and made the right calls in tough situations.
now for individual shoutouts:
some are not as long as i wanted them to be cus im tired and no match for finch

bro fist - you are amazing, idk how else to describe you. if i say anymore everyone would think im secretly in love or something lmao. you seriously are the best gen6 / gen7 ou player its crazy man. watching you play games / testing with you is always a learning experience because you never misplay, ever. really, even when you get burned by fire fang scarf chomp and then sdef dropped by focus blast you find a way to win the game. im really glad i met you bc you are seriously one of the most down-to-earth and logical guys. idk why you say youre not a goold builder tho, the teams you've made were always really cool. remember that unbeatable specs latios squad? then mosa became popular and you had to revamp it. its one of my favorite teams and i always spam it in friendlies. you're also hilarious, easily a top 5 funny person here. remember when we watched that livestream thing ? idk if you were the one who came up with RDP but that gave us laughs for like 2 weeks. thanks so much again for drafting me and trusting me with prep and in the weeks i played. i hope we can remain friends even tho the season is over, youre amazing
CrashinBoomBang - i told you this before but prior to meeting you i always kinda looked up to you as a player. i liked your style so it was definitely an amazing feeling that someone i looked up to thought i was a smart / good player. you get a lot of shit for the trolling you do but you also dont give a fuck lmao, love the attitude. you're also an amazing player and you know it. you're the reason why if anyone brought stall vs us they'd lose since you trained our starters on how to play vs stall and really any of these common cheesy archetypes going around. lmao remember when we were trying to figure out if webs beats stall and john, me, star and i failed and then you got it in like 5 mins. that was awesome altho it lowkey doesnt work all the time, w.e. i think one of the moments i'll always remember was when you hmu that night just as my bday ended and we had a nice convo just about stuff, it was like cherry on top of a perfect day. you seriously are really kind and easy to talk to. i wish i met you earlier bc i know you planned on focusing on irl stuff after spl :(. i hope everything goes your way
Ojama - man, you are hands down the best player on this site. you were last spl and you are now. you are one of the very few people who can say something like "i will win dont worry" in a playoffs and tie break situation and we can trust you 1000000% to win. i wont lie when i first joined the discord i was a bit intimidated bc i heard things like "ojama is mean" and the first thing you said to me was "im gonna kill you if you build bad teams". im exposing your ruse tho bc you are actually the nicest person ever LOL. you are also very funny with your crazy jokes about cbbs brother and fingers and your funny snaps. near the end of the season you were hard on some of the players but not even in a malicious way, its what the team needed to hear and i think every team needs a person to keep us in check. im really sorry we couldnt get you the trophy, you deserved it more than anyone after losing 3 finals and played outta your mind + always had input in every tier (even dubs!!). i think you are the best teammate and i congratulate whoever gets to team with you next spl. too bad you cant tell that girl you are a triple trophy winner :(((. jokes aside i learned a lot from you and have endless respect for you and am honored that you consider me a goon (w.e this means).
Philip7086 - big man phil, i can say without a doubt that you are the best dpper of all time. you had an incredible season winning with very cool teams that only you could wield. i remember week 1 we played over 500 test games, i think thats more games of pkmn i played in the last year. it got frustrating near the end tho bc i kept bringing osgoode teams and kept losing to your suicune lmao. im glad i was able to help tho, our dpp games were fun even tho near the end of the season i kept haxing you to death. it felt amazing to have a player we can rely on for a win. every week looking at match ups id think "this is a win for phil". youre awesome in every way. i really appreciate you helping me come up w valentines day plans, was a success !! those 4am convos with me, you, john, and whoever was up were always enjoyable. hearing about your irl is also cool since its something im aspiring to as i get older. i wish you luck all your future endeavors and i promise i'll log onto to my ps4 one day and hopefully we can play destiny 2 or something
Jirachee - mr slick...you're awesome really. i think you are one of the kindest persons ive ever met on here, you were always a positive presence even tho you'd have some headass things to say at times. dont worry tho i appreciated all your jokes, even the bad ones like:

champagnepapi-Yesterday at 9:24 AM
not during his game though we'll get banned for goasting
anyway, you had a rough season but you won when we needed you to (clutching playoffs in w9 etc) and were helpful in sm and gsc. you were even learning ubers in week 8 in case gunner had to get subbed out, that 1 team you built was ass tho js lol. i hope you play sm, your teams are really creative (dont use nate sets tho). im really glad i met you, we shulda banned you and nate tho honest. those greninja sets were nonsense
Star - from wcop to spl man. thanks for vouching for me pre-draft, means a lot. you didnt have a spectacular season but you were unlucky in a lot of games :/. regardless, you won when we needed you to (you and bio started the comeback in finals). besides that, you were helpful in other tiers since you do have knowledge in sm and oras. you pointed out weaknesses in teams and helped us flesh out our builds. and even near the end you picked up ubers to help me and gunner prep. lookin forward to wcop this yr dude, we should be fine as long as we dont get unlucky as shit. lets just win that instead
Gunner Rohan - you're prob feeling down and everyones calling you shit / gonna give you shit bc you lost but fuck those dudes lol, they actually dont know what theyre talking about "whyd he do this LOOL" w.e. you are one of the main reasons i knew we'd make it far. you were confident and had the skill to back it up. a lot of ppl are goin "ahah ubers playerbase is trash" but you're one of the dudes who are truly good. we all knew this week 2 when you played outta your mind after getting haxed early game and then winning like 3 50/50s only to get crit :(. even ojama said your mental game is outta this world. i honestly think if you cared to learn ou or something you'd win an individual trophy tour. you're also insane too LOL. calling w you and cbb was really fun bc you both are crazy. wish we were able to play poker, maybe we shuld try again in the future. anyway, you're good as fuck and i look forward to playing UPL together.
TheThorn - dude i legit never heard your name till the auction. its really awesome to see how much you developed as a player since then. your week 1 win vs xray was amazing. im glad you ended with a solid record because you showed how solid of a player you are. your building is awesome too. i usually dont like using other ppl's teams but i really enjoying using yours and would bring them to important games without a second thought. i hope we get to team in mpl (its the only reason i signed up!!) and i hope you have a great future here. love you dude
Tricking - man you're seriously underrated as a player. i think you shouldve started earlier. you were so beast in the games you played and got us important wins throughout the season. not to mention, having you on the team = having the support of the italian mafia. good luck in wcop this year, hope we get to play each other. actually no i dont, you'd prob catch me on a double switch and burn my gengar
Welli0u - im really glad you got the chance to play bc i think youre a fantastic player. you choked some games but i cant blame you bc the pressure was high and youre a new player. make stour playoffs and good luck in wcop killua kun!!
Axel10 - the sheriff.. what a beast lmfao. i think our chat exploded every time you played bc you are amazing, the master of pivoting and getting the hard turns right. im really glad we got to team together bc i loved your wcop games. now lets win hpl !!!
Hector Hard Mode - you had a bad season but you really are a beast. you were always helpful in testing. wish i coulda banned you for all these gay convos you'd have w slick tho.. gl in wcop canada lookin unstoppable this yr
Sabella - you're a creative builder and a smart player, i always enjoyed our battles. great dude in general too. i look forward to playing wcop w you this yr man
Biosci - as you said in your team dump thread, i was kinda unsure about you after our initial battles. then you said "brb" and came back 30 mins later w new teams and whooped my ass like 18 times in a row. i still remember that last game: you got the bd on azu and i thought i had it won bc of lele and you did the terrain switch thingy using mgar and i was like damn,, this guys good as fuck. and you proved it too with your incredible run. wish we were on the same dpl team man :(( but good luck there and hope we get to team again next yr <333
Mr.378 - lmfao man you got ranked last in the gsc power rankings and look at you now. what a beast. the later half of the season was rough but you definitely got your name out there. i wish i was better at gsc so i could give you better test games but yea haha. a great chat presence and a fantastic player on top of that. if you sm in wcop, feel free to reach out if you need anything ever
Crystal_ - you are sooo good. i love your style in rby lol. before spl, i knew next to nothing about the tier and assumed lax's are always reflect + rest and then you came with all these sick sets which made your teams and style very offensive. i enjoyed talking with you as well, youre definitely a very chill and smart guy. i hope you have a fun wcop and maybe we can face each other in some rby tour one day.
