good season scoots, sucks that it wasn't enough and that luck was not always in our favor but we can mostly only blame ourselves for this week. good games, ruiners, fun week and I'm glad we could have some really exciting and actually fun to watch games. good luck in the playoffs to you guys, your team has many people I respect a lot and/or are good friends with so yeah, if you win that would be something I would be perfectly happy with. Thanks to the Tigers for at least trying to get us to playoffs, too bad we couldn't even carry ourselves there. I definitely gave you guys way more shit than I should have though :/. I wasn't going to write shoutouts for a number of reasons, but you guys truly made this an enjoyable season so you definitely deserve it. Good luck to all the teams in playoffs as well.
bro fist First of all, thanks for managing this season with me. None of this would have been possible without you buddy. It's sad that we couldn't quite make it, but I think we made for a pretty good team regardless, with you being the laid-back and cool dude and me being vocal and raging about everything. I think we had a legitimate shot at the trophy but hey, there's always next year. Couldn't really choose a better manager than this dude though, you're a force in mons too. Should play more and get swept by Kecleon more though.
Isa if I had to pick an MVP it would probably be you, 7-2 in RBY is incredibly fucking solid, especially when you consider that 1 (or both? idr) of your losses were bullshit even for RBY standards. and of course you always helped lavos prepare for his game. 15k for you is absolutely nothing, and you were probably the one person on our team who always kept a cool head haha. thanks for everything buddy.
liberty32 I thought you were a fucking douche and/or cunt before we really talked and I was right about that. Just kidding rofl you were probably half the reason this season was as fun as it was because you're the face of insanitie what the fuck is wrong with you nigga like
what the fuck man LOL BKC WEARS RED SHOES WHAT A FUCKING CLOWN. Thanks for playing and showing people that, even when you only play once a year, you're still capable of smashing some skulls in.
Lavos Spawn I think you weren't at the top of your game early season, but you really stepped up and got rid of your nervousness and all that shit after midseason. And week 9 you managed to beat an actual god under one of the highest pressure situations in this whole tournament. I was a bit iffy when I was told to get you, but you didn't disappoint, good job bro.
Lohgock We didn't really talk too much, but it was nice to at least have another german on the team. You always came through clutch when you didn't get unlucky, and I'm glad you and Pwnemon could work together so well. You're a great doubles player and it was a pleasure to watch you play week after week.
IronBullet93 Sucks that your record kinda fell off after midseason but I think you played extremely well overall, especially in the final week. You're also like one of the few people who legitimately enjoy this game and one of the nicest people I've ever seen haha. Thanks for always motivating us and/or cheering us up when we hit a rough spot. Good job man and I hope you won't lose your motivation any time soon :)
Hack We didn't talk much either, but I actually learned a lot about how Ubers works just from talking to you. You definitely seem like one of the most knowledgable people in the whole tier, and I'm glad we chatted about both Ubers and OU from time to time. I'm also really glad that you got over your slump and showed people that you still got it those final two weeks. I also don't blame you for being tired of this game.
New Breed The second fellow German in the Scooters channel. It was a joy to watch you play despite you really wanting to play on the Wolfpack, which was totally understandable. I'm glad that you somehow got into the swing of things, broke the curse, and worked really well with both Cased and IronBullet in the end. Good job dude, wish we had broken your FKing curse sooner though!
Alf' You probably had one of the toughest schedules of everyone, but I'm glad you came through when we needed you the most, week 9 in particular. I wish you'd have been a little bit more active and I wish I was a bit more up-to-date with current ADV and ADV teambuilding but I'm glad it somehow worked out in the end. Thanks for playing man.
RiCH HOMiE CA$ED Glad we also had the other half of the dynamic duo. As much as you were driving me insane sometimes, I'm glad that we could settle our differences week 7 or whenever it exactly was, and I'm glad that we could at least work like a team again after that. Your record doesn't look the way it should, but that's the name of the game I guess. Thanks for helping out in RU and UU too :D! And pretty much every fucking tier ever, you're a beast at playing and I really didn't know you actually played so many tiers on a good level damn lol.
SkillinJah Although that week 9 thing will forever leave a sour taste in my mouth, I'm glad we could talk it over and that you're as cool of a guy as you are. I'm also glad we all got to build the PERFECT BW TEAM FT DOUBLE FANG GLISCOR together. Solid fucking player, solid fucking teambuilder, definitely a mid auction steal. Thanks for playing brother.
Stathakis TOGEKISS! I'm glad you used that shit in week 2. I don't think your record really reflects your capabilities, and I'm sad that you couldn't pull off that week 9 game, but you gotta stop being so harsh at yourself. You played some great games of Pokemon this tournament, and it was fun bouncing ideas with you dude. Hope you learned something from this SPL! Sorry for giving you so much shit at times though x_X
xray Speaking of midseason steals, here's another real fucking deal. Seriously, your performances in week 7 and especially week 8 were incredible (I can tell you that like 0.1% of all players would have pulled the trigger on that game winning Kyurem-B double switch), and I'm really glad we gave you a chance. Guess you won't be ignored in SPL anymore, especially if you decide to keep joining Smogon Tour and such!
Aqualouis Sucks that you weren't around more.. although I guess I understand you losing interest and of course you being busy. Sorry that we couldn't make playoffs to witness your glorious return, and thanks for playing nonetheless.
Honor Same to you, although you were around during the later stages at least. Wish I could have given you more DPP time since you aren't a bad battler at all, but I hope you can forgive us :x.
Stone_Cold As for Honor, sorry that we couldn't give you more playtime :/ I hope you can accept that we played roscoe in DPP at least and hope you had a somewhat fun season even if you also didn't have much of a reason to stick around. Thanks for always providing feedback though!
Henry Damn, I wish I could have helped you to get somewhat of a better record. No idea if it was just nervousness or what, but 0-4 isn't what you should be at at all :(... Hope you still had a fun season buddy. Except for that one fateful evening when you went ballistic on Cased and actually wanted to gouge his eyes out with a rusty knife, but we got over that :D! Really though, people probably don't know how much you helped behind the scenes and shit so thanks for that.
Stratos Gay ass name. You get a lot of undeserved shit dude, but I hope you can at least be somewhat above that now. I know we also had some rough times particularly during the middle of the season, but I think we all grew together near the end. Sorry for almost ruining your first SPL and, like Henry, most people have no idea how much you helped behind the scenes. Pretty sure Lohgock's record wouldn't be as good without you, so tell those hating fuckers to shut up.
praj.pran Sorry we couldn't win praj. Legitimately, though, I don't regret picking you up one bit; I honestly believe that your presence and the stuff you said in our channel made our team chemistry just a little bit better. Thanks buddy, hope you'll have a lot of fun playing Pokemon still n_n
ium thanks for being around from the start of the season without being annoying like certain other people, you're a legitimately great guy and a great artist. it was great to have you along for the ride and I kinda wish we bought you for the sake of it as well, but at least you can get a trophy now :D.
Atticus We didn't talk much, but you're a funny guy and I'm glad you were around! I hope we somewhat met your expectations even though not everything went smoothly, and I'm glad you gave your insight on midseason because it really helped making our plans.
Vinc2612 Really sorry that we traded you dude, but I hope you had a few good last weeks on Raiders :( We really wanted the trade and at least you did something other than "bench" on the Raiders so theres that. Not like we won the trophy anyway. It hurts to trade people though, especially genuinely nice people who are also good battlers, so sorry about that.
Windsong Really sorry about you too... like, I was actually sad when we did what we did to get a potential trade especially when it didn't work out in the end ;_;. You're a great user but I hope you could understand our decision, with all the stuff that was happening at the same time. If I could go back and reverse one thing we did it would be this trade though, among something else. Hope you and the other Bigs go ahead and win the trophy though, you all deserve it :).
BKC Yeah, we all wish it would have come differently. I know that we argue about dumb shit all the time but you're one of my best buds here on Smogon and yeah, probably the other thing I wish I could reverse. You deserved to be a Scooter and we should have gone for it instead of this halfassed "brushing you off thing" I guess. You know I respect you one hell of a lot both as a player and as a person and I hope SPL hasn't tainted our friendship brother, I legit wasn't aware it was that big of a deal until that stupid argument this week. Hope you can forgive me, bro, but at least we didn't ride to a trophy without you, either, because if the Scooters win one it should be with you.
And obvious shoutouts to our mysterious outside savior week 7 who probably saved us from collapsing completely as a team. I don't think we'd have come anywhere near as close without you making us remember what the fuck this tournament is all about.
Thanks to all the people who supported us over the season that weren't on the team, especially the few Good Chaps With Cool Personalities that came in over the past few days
Soulgazer blunder Funkasaurus McMeghan gr8astard Bloo Mizuhime and anyone else I might have forgotten :) Special thanks to
Zeb and
Aldaron for doing their job really well and still being entertaining to have in a channel for multiple reasons too!
One person I haven't forgotten, though, is
cbt also known as the reason our team almost went up in flames. You really are one of the most despicable people I've ever come across on this whole godforsaken forum. Made me remember why the fuck
BAIKA (luv u buddy) kicked you the fuck out of the ruiners channel during SPL 4 thank the lord. Not only did you annoy the living fuck out of roscoe, BKC and me by making stupid, unwarranted and not to mention WAY OUT OF FUCKING LINE COMMENTS YOU WERE IN NO POSITION TO SAY, but you also had the gall to act like a fucking prick even after I took you off of akick. You literally almost ruined our season by just existing.
You really tried to get unbanned using whatever means necessary which is just baffling. You told bro fist to "give you as much power as me" which is just hilarious. Did you honestly think he would do that to get you back into the channel rofl hahahaha. You tried to join under a million alts, you tried to remove your vhost, and you tried to join under your afk name which is just hilarious. And even after Cased and I settled our differences and I unbanned you and was ready to give you a second chance (because I'm all for second chances), you really couldn't stop acting like a fucking dumbass. Do you really think I want some pretentious and self-entitled cunt in the channel who says "I know I wouldn't stay banned for long" as soon as he's back in the channel? Haha god no.
So I banned you again and it became a game. A game for everyone. Inviting you while on akick. And we all laughed, we really did. I also loved your comment about supposed "Scooters Blood" which is just fucking incredible and incredibly stupid on so many levels.
Maybe for whatever team you'll be on next season or that carries your ass around for no reason you'll remember that being in that channel is not a right, it is a privilege for an outsider. You had no rights after your actions, and especially not the right to complain; you were a mere slave: without rights. Just be assured that I will manage again next year just to make sure that SPL 7 Scooters won't be harassed by the Black Plague alias cbt. Oh and not being able to respond to the question of "what do you provide for #scooters" and instead calling out a million people all of which did more for the Scooters than you ever did. Pathetic.
Fun season guys, maybe next year. Couldn't imagine a better team atmosphere though! And go BIGS n_n
