Ggs beartics, we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in many occasions but well played. You guys deserve it.
lemme post some quick shoutouts because i feel the team deserved 'em from the effort we gave it every week.

Blapperl : You were the one guy going into the auction that I wanted on my team. One of the best, if not the best up and coming player around. Stick around please because you're a great lad who makes amazing teams when he's drunk and in general is a top notch player and team mate. stop stealing my teams ;)
HJAD : I made sure finch bought you too, you got your chance and it was disappointing you couldn't pull through. you gave me almost all the ideas to my teams which i made so it was amazing having you with the lads, you'll get the hang of not choking sooner or later ;)
Tricking : Apart from week 1, we never really spoke but you are still my cucciolo:3 I wish we'd have spoken a bit more porco dio. Luckier player than me O:
Montsegur : someone who would leave it to the last minute to play and loves Teddeh approved teams ;) I'm glad you did really well. Also got to know you more on a personal level during this tour, you're a funny dude n_n Stay around please to one day be room owner and not lose to tennis teams pls. kthxbye
KratosMana : First time I spoke to you this tour and you are a real funny dude. Locking Finch out of the Skype group LOOL and in general the amount of banter going on haha, was great having you in the team even though you didn't do well (should have used Teddeh teams haha;) ) need to stay in contact, team me lower gens in return for nu knowledge pls
ium : You were such a great person until you went batshit crazy because you couldn't stand finch LOL. Wasn't worth it for the team at the end of the day though, we needed you for the finals :// I hope things get better for you bud
MetalGro$$ : didn't speak much until the last few weeks, great personality and a sound person. fuck newcastle lol. Your win against reiku was sweet bro, was great having you in the team as you were one of the people not causing cancer at all !!! O:
bugzinator : i can't understand scottish people. You were a lot of fun even tho you were literally causing hell for finch at times haha, was fun having you around and by far the quickest win i've ever seen in tournaments history against tsunami lol. great team banter, fuck finch
ZoroDark : part 2 of the duo, you were such a nice lad and honestly you did so well, should stop reading the skype chat sometimes though! ;) I wanna keep in touch so you can teach me ubers! Since pornman suxx ;) Need to keep in contact :D
atomicllamas : with your price tag there was so much pressure going in on the tour for you but even tho your record wasn't too great, you were such a funny dude in the chat and a really nice guy n_n Didn't know you before the tour very well and i'm pretty sure we weren't on great terms but we really got along! Need to stay around longer since you're one of the most intelligent guys in the community
Pearl. PEARL BY FAR THE BEST PLAYER TO EVER EXIST, I WON ALL MY GAMES BECAUSE YOU WERE GHOSTING ME. Praise lawd pearl
Django : You were legit the best upbid mistake that ever happened, your tier knowledge and experience was great and you are such a nice guy with some funny stories as well the contribution to the team was amazing with the pb's that got magically exposed O: Stay around longer plss
Finchinator : Ahhhh now this dude is a tryhard, as am I! Worked with you before the tour to get you to bid on me, 15.5k? I think you'd have taken that before the auction!;) From everything from auction plans to how the teams worked, me and you were the real duo in getting this team to work well haha. I run Oras + XY, you run lower gens!;) As well as someone who hates being wrong and won't shut up, probably the guy who took the most shit from everyone for either choking or because they hate you, you have so much patience oml. Glad we worked together on this, I look forward to sharing other team tours with you! :]

Unfortunate turn of events on the last day with how some of the pokemon things went in three of the last four games, but we tried our best in prep and in the games, so that's all I can ask for as a manager and I'd like to thank all of the Articunos for playing. We all made our mistakes, even misplays at times, but we kept playing and trying our hardest and almost pulled through in the end. Second out of six may not be first, but it's still not too bad. Congratulations to the Beartics for winning. While I disagree with how people like Soulgazer acted throughout the finals, there's no doubt in my mind that you still were a skilled team and deserve the tournament.

It's never a tour for me without a lot of long tryhard shoutouts at the end, regardless of end result, so I guess I'll give them here:

Articunos

Teddeh : You were the first person I planned to get - going back to a couple weeks prior to NUPL even starting during late SPL, I recall PMing you on IRC expressing interest in getting you because you were doing very well later in the season. I knew that you had as good of a chance of winning in this metagame, if not better, than anyone else who played it. And so... you won... every single week. You deserve so much recognition for being consistent with your recent success and you also deserve some for helping out everyone else in ORAS and XY on our team (pretty much the unofficial assman of the team). You were the perfect team player in every aspect of being one. I hope that we can be on the same team in one tour or another again in the future as it's really cool associating with you and I think you're going to be one of the top NU players for the next couple years if you stick around, so keep up the great work, solid play, etc. Oh and before I forget, you discovered the lord Blapperl and saved my auction pretty much, great job n_n

Blapperl : You are really quiet and I didn't know too much about you going in, but in reality you are one of the top ORAS NU players in my opinion. You started out with like four straight wins and never really looked back. Sure, there was a rough patch in the road at the end, but some things didn't go your wain the last match and you still demonstrated solid play, building, and knowledge of the metagame throughout the tour. I hope you join more tours and become more active and outspoken in the community n the future because you are really good at this game and know what you're doing in every match with various styles of teams and not many other people can live up to that claim. Fun working with you and good luck in the future bro.

atomicllamas : You really know your DPP NU stuff and thanks for the help when I had to play it in the best of three various times and thanks for handling the tier every week for us. Your record wasn't great, but some things didn't go your way and you still played pretty well for the most part, I'd say. I hope that you continue to do well in tournaments like SPL in the future and we can continue to be together on a lot of teams because you're always chill and cool to work with (dog)

bugzinator : I am on your team so often for PO tours, so we're used to working with each other at this point. We disagree way too much for my comfort level sometimes, but you're a really solid player and team helper when you're not trolling or fucking around. Keep up the good work I guess! Would add more, but we've been through this so many times that there isn't much of a point in doing so.

HJAD : I know you didn't get to play too much, but I cannot express enough thanks for all of the assistance and open-mindedness you gave the team. In my opinion, you are one of the better up-and-coming NU players and I hope that you continue to play the tier and do well in the future. Sooner or later, more opportunities will arise for you and you will do well in them, so don't worry about the lack of chances here and the poor end-result as you did your 100% best for the team and I couldn't ask for more.

KratosMana : Solid player and friend, but not really an NU guy to be honest. Thanks for sticking around and chatting - your presence was really cool and helped settle some of the sexual tension between Karppi and Teddeh at times haha.

Metalgross : You've actually improved a lot as a player over the last year or so - winning PO league, making SPL, doing well in SPL, etc. - good job and keep the work up overall. As for NU...well it's not your forte, but you actually were really active and took some interest in the teams you used and you played very well vs Reiku, imo. You couldn't do much given the position you were put in for your finals game, so don't worry about that, but keep up solid play in other tours and continue to do well my friend. Glad we got to work together :]

ZoroDark : Inferior to you little brother in team tour wins, so you must be the inferior person, amirite? haha. On a serious note, I really like how you play, prepare, etc. and I am glad we got to work together. Your lack of tier knowledge really bit you in the ass a couple of times in some of your games, but you held it together and put up a decent record for the team with a sort of disappointing end, but still the effort and consideration is appreciated. Hope you do well in the future and we can work together again_n

Montsegur :I didn't talk with you a ton, but it was clear you knew what you were doing when you got in and that you had some interesting ideas. I like how you scouted your opp and knew what they were weak to, especially in finals, and pulled off some solid wins. The way you handled your game in the finals in general really impressed me and I wish you good luck in future tours and I hope you stick around the NU community as you're a really chill guy! :]

pearl : mvp easily haha. better than Pearl.

Pearl. : Girl? oo. Anyway, I'm glad you stuck with the team despite losing interest in mons a bit. You're fun to have around and chat with. You're basically a superior version of Bugzinator haha.

Tricking : You were pretty quiet all along, but you're a solid player - no doubt about that. You tried your best every time you got put in and build+play well. I know your finals game was rough with some of the plays, but you still won and I really appreciate that. Keep doing well in the future bro and best of luck with Italy in WCoP if you participate :D


Others

Rural, PoMMan, Vileman: Thanks for interacting with the team, being in the chat, and being good friends. Best of luck in the future!

Cased: Grats on the win! Now let's go win wcop n_n

Raseri: I'm not gonna lie, I thought your team was the worst coming in and you could've easily made the finals and possibly even tied or beaten my team in the regular season if stuff went your way. Well done! Also, I really like how you run and deal with the NU community - keep up the solid work I suppose :o

NU Community: It's been a fun last 5 months or so being a part of this community and playing this tier frequently. I'll be sure to keep my ties and come back to this tier pretty often, but for now my involvement may drop a tiny bit due to the upcoming WCoP where Zeb, Cased, and I will be bossing at OU n_n
 
apparently this is the fashion at the end of an nupl: so here are my shout outs for the godsquad. Grats to the BODYBAG BEARTICS, you guys are good at mons, not so much at shittalking >.>

Onto the shout outs:
Teddeh quite possibly the best ORAS NU player to exist, you are not only an absolute god at the game, but on a personal level, you are a great guy and an even greater friend. By no means am I an exceptional player, but you believed in all my amazing innovations even TR Power Trick WP Claydol ;o . Good luck in the future, you deserve every success. I just wish I could have some of the credit for that 6-0 LMAO
Blapperl the other part of the deadly duo in ORAS. I think you are possibly one of the most talented players I have met, one of the most underrated and one of the most humble and fearsome. tbh, I don't quite know how you win the way you do, but you always find a way to make it difficult. Good luck for your very bright future!!
Tricking my fidanzata tricking. The Italian magician who with the shitest possible teams, manages to win extremely convincingly. After Week 1, you didn't just lay down and die, you were there for the call up when we couldn't find a final for oras that was consistent and your last two wins were priceless. I love u man, your luck is deserved :D
Montsegur , again, I don't quite understand your knack for 30 second teams, that manage to just blow opposition away, every, fucking, time. You are a monster of a player, a great role model in the community and an even better friend. I get the feeling that one day you will rule smogon lmao, good luck for your team tournies in the future.
atomicllamas (dog) an amazing friend and player that managed to teach me DPP NU in less than 24 hours, and if it wasn't for some hax, I would have won in that very tier as well. Even with your hefty price tag, IMHO, you were worth every penny. I hope to team with you in the future!
ZoroDark your one of the calmer guys I have met, even though I didn't interact with you as much because let's face it, we play different tiers, I still could get that utter calm feeling under pressure that you get. You were a great influence and it would have been missed without you
MetalGro$$ the other half of the Belgian brothers and an absolute monster of a player, sorry with how the finals went for you, but mons is mons. You were a great lower gens player and helped me out quite a bit with my recovery from BW2. hope to team with you in the future!
KratosMana (dog) your attitude was infectious with joy Anti. There was not a dull moment with out and even with your below grade performances, you made this whole experience worthwhile, providing support to whoever needed it the most. A great guy and great friend too.
bugzinator the greater nator in the team. even if you made finch go crazy at times I could sense from the way you played that you were a quality player and nothing less. Thanks for being a bro, I just hope Finch gets his chill pills for next nupl xd
Django I feel like, even though I have no idea about ADV NU and the apparent upbid misbid mistake, you were one of THE best players I have ever had the pleasure to work with. How you measure yourself was like a true pro, I don't get why Finch thought his upbid was a mistake ;o hope to play with you in the future
Pearl. < I think I tagged you right. not much to say but you were there to hear about my quite frankly ass innovations, and there for building random ass hail teams with that were never gonna be used. Cool user n_n
ium (dog) you went apeshit, oh well, hope you can pull yourself together you are a great player ;o
Karppi you are RIGHT. I am an ass player that over prepares for everything :[
Finchinator (dog). Thanks for believing in me and picking me up for those 3k. I felt like, at that moment, you were the only one who thought I could make it along with the delusional Teddeh who still thinks I'm good ;s. My mission was to make sure that those 3k you spent were not wasted, and I'd like to hope I did that, despite my below average record that I beat myself up on. Thanks for being there for me, you are the essence of an NU God and long may it continue, friend.

Other people: I'm like whoring at this moment but loads of people helped me throughout this entire thing:
Realistic Waters for being my punching bag in training
Deej Dy for being a god to aspire to and another friend
Disjunction I take all credit y/y
SilverReaper21 Adaire Winter's Howl allstar124 make the NU room bearable ;s
Quite Quiet and Omelette du FireMage for being great hosts.

we'll get it next year lads.
