although we make fun of n1n1 most of the time, i would also like to see mishi or dad1 get picked up for 3k so they can help test teams and get experience for futures spls

Hey, so the draft is over and i have a few things to say. A little bit upset but hey what can you do. I was never in spl so take this with a grain of salt if you want but for you up and coming doubles players, always talk to other managers. I'm not really gonna call anyone out but like even if it's the team you want to play for, and they tell you that they already included you in their draft plan and that you shouldn't talk to other managers, talk to them anyways if you really want to play in spl.

I'm looking forward to the n1n1 prediction posts
I am too fucking disgusted to be doing that this year. This is my last post for SPL

Its an embarrassment that so many of our most active and deserving players got past over.
Biosci, and Blingas havnt been involved in this community for the entire year but got drafted. Some random guy from VGC who most of have never heard before got drafted.
I felt like the only person trying to bring recognition to guys like Croven, Mishimono, Nido-Rus, DaAwesomeDude1, Flame Road, Matame, Demantoid, Checkmater, and Yellow Paint. Some of these guys had really spectacular results through the entire year. But instead of supporting them you guys were either silent or just followed the words of stratos and kylecole like a sheep. Those 2, stratos and kyle, thought it was funny to support frania whose tour record is pathetic to the guys I listed.
Good to see new deserving players stax, sam, milk drafted but overall this was embarrassing to our community.

there is a huge problem when our leaders and players with influence are not getting behind our most active and achieving players. There is a massive cliquly type of culture that is disgusting and so clearly evident.

See you all for DPL.
