Time to a long list of shoutouts!
I'd like to start that I'm very proud of every single one of you, and that we couldn't have gotten here without you. If I could, I'd throw away all of my money next year just to retain everyone. (But then Dirpz would try and take advantage of it) Anyways onto individual shout outs (In alphabetical order)
Anttya 3-2, so bad, can't even compare to the rest of the team
Best Battle: I mean, all of it was hax or good matchups.

floe (AquaS0und) 5-1, You're simply amazing fren, you are really fun to work and test with and you're an great player with tons of innovation. (Only if DM brought Normal week one, he would've been destroyed by your Ghost Sub CM Keldeo) Also, I need to say that you're the world's best Water user replacement, and that every cent was worth it :)
Best battle:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-238112196 (Ground Monothreat - Aqua vs Sae)
CrazyClown94 (CC) 2-1, 3 no decisions, not bad. (Although you would've won 2 of those ez) I blame you for getting people who aren't in the same timezone as you :\\\\ Haha jk, anyways, you were a late joiner although you didn't deserve that with your skills. You were insanely cocky throughout, and with good reason. I still find it funny that your reasoning for forfeiting against Ash was "
%CrazyClown94:The other team needed a fair chance" and "We would've won anyways." Turns out you were right, but the whole team would've helped me kill you if we lost 4-3 :(
Best battle: It was definitely the Ice monothreat vs Azian, but guess what, someone forgot to save it
COUGH COUGH CC
COUGH COUGH oh well, I guess this OP Diggersby team will have to do :(
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/hiddentype-231150524 (Hidden Type - CC vs Illusio)
Cell 1-1, To me, you're the Ground user who can click EQ the fastest. Like CC, you didn't deserve to be drafted this late and you showed me how good you are when you beat Balto. (When we could've lost that game if Scorp was playing ;) I hope I can draft you again next year, I'm sure you'll find a way to make yourself OP and broken if Smooth Rock gets banned.

iLight 4-2, Chances are, you're never going to see this since you never go past the first page and you lost your Smogon password but you were worth it. I knew I can rely on you to clutch and win when it matters most, and you did despite being haxed constantly. Also, props to you for sticking with Psychic throughout even though I was nagging you not to, and you showed everyone how OP you are by beating all of those c-teams.

Kyo004 3-2, Thank you for being so flexible. You were always willing to learn and play the OMs and Monothreats, and you were really good at them. It was also really fun to teambuild with you since you were always to trying, and you were willing to spend the time to build the best team. When I bought you for 4000, it was a total steal, if people knew how good you were at OMs, Monothreat, and BW you'd go for wayyy higher but I'm glad you didn't. (Also, grats on E4! Well deserved)
Best Battle -
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen5ou-229182107 (BW - Kyo vs TraceofLife RC)
Mega Ridley 5-1, 6-0 in my book, When I first bought you, I didn't know you too well, but you turned out to be a really fun guy to test and teambuild with. You had an amazing attitude, and you were always willing to try as well. A solid player in whatever tier you did as well, but the best part is that 4000 price tag. Tbh, the other teams were doomed when they let me steal you. (Props to Kaiser who mentioned how good you were in the AM chat months ago)
Best Battle -
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nimbus-monotype-1619 (ORAS - Ridley vs Bush. Granted it wasn't the battle with the most plays, but I laugh everytime I see this)
zulkaz (AM Vid) 3-4, You should've had a muchhhh better w/l, but the hax and chokes were too strong :[ However, your wins have clutched us the beginning weeks so w/o you we might've not even gotten to semis! It was also really fun trying to predict our opponent's types and making an "appropriate" team except nubs like
Barida brought the random Water instead of the predicted Ground. (Come on, you were the Ground champ of Mangolia... and Flying got you bopped) You also did really good in the monothreats, and you were a great person to be around with ^^ (I think you were on my team for pretty much everything I've done lol, North too but Dow had to steal him from me)
Best Battle -
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-229536842 (Water Monothreat - Vid vs En4cer)
Zarif 3-2, First of all, I'd like to compare this w/l to our good friend Omnia's 1-2. If anything, Omega overbidded on Omnia and I got a sweet deal when I bought Zarif. I enjoyed teambuilding with you, and you showed me how good the team was by winning your matches. Trying to predict our opponent's types was fun as well, and I really liked the fact you could've implemented something fun in your teams every time you played. #ToxicHealReuniclus
