I'm hoping our era of mutual hatred is behind us. I actually think you're a nice level headed guy and usually agree with your posts, but I just like arguing with you for some reason. I look forward to whatever you have in store for BW2, and I'm sure it will be well done.
BKC
I know you're on East, but you're awesome and a great battler. Thanks for being a great friend to me, and you're the definition of hard work.
Bloo
You're a great battler but also one of the laziest players I ever seen haha. The one-two punch of you and Phil was easily WCoPs best in my opinion. You do a great job for Smogon play well, which is rare for upper Smogon Staff.
Indra
I didn't see you this year, but I could rest easy knowing you weren't giving a fuck, wherever you were.
Jumpluff
I appreciate how you're always super nice to me. Thanks!

I wasn't around for tryouts, but when I saw the roster I knew you were a secret boss. Your trash talk in the WCoP thread was hilariously infuriating. I had fun testing with you, and I know you gained a much more in depth understanding of the game. Just seeing you improve from our very first tests to Pacific Hurricane to your final match vs. BKC was impressive. Great poise as a battler, and I have a feeling you'll be the next big thing, and people will still hate the whole way. Go get it.
LoveDestiny
I only met you at the end of WCoP, and you're a pretty weird dude. I think you're pretty funny though, and I'm disappointed I never got to meet you in the olden days of Smogon.
Loven
Shouldn't have ditched us ;)

Cool dude, haven't talked to you in a while, but you've got a lot of dedication. Great job winning your match to force West into the tie break situation and ultimately the rest of the journey. I'm proud of you, and like Phil said, speak up! I'm sure you've got some great ideas to offer everyone.
Moet
I tested one match against you I think, and you're a good battler. You definitely deserved a spot on the roster, and it was good to see you put on it.

Level headed, intelligent player. Can't ask for more when it comes to battling consistency as I saw when we played. Clutch win in the finals, and great job throughout the WCoP. If you want it, you've more than got the skill to get it. Thanks a lot ;)
Myzozoa
I will forever wonder what a Myzozoa is, but it's a nice mystery anyway. I remember asking you for advice in a college thread in a forum, and I found you really interesting. Fast forward to World Cup, and you bossed. I think your reputation for Heavy Offense worked to your advantage sometimes and played mind games with your opponents. When we tested, your sets were pretty cool and refreshing (like choice scarf lead deod, that thing is a boss) and you were the luckiest guy ever. But luck or not, you demonstrated your aptitude for this game and were really impressive all around.
Oristeros
I didn't talk with you much, but I remembered you dominating BW when it first came out. Then you left for Asia or something but came back and picked up right where you left off. You're one of the best tactical players I've seen play the game, and it's really amazing to watch you work.
Philip7086
Obviously a great guy and the man to whom I owe a lot of my success. I feel like every world cup champion needs a Superstar and that is you. Your teams are great, your playing ability is unreal, and even if you didn't have the success you wanted this year, you're still unbelievable and I'd count on you for a tie break every single day of the week, year, and forever. Plus your frontier success speaks for itself, you just got unlucky this WCoP.
remlabmez
I downloaded LoL and am practicing. Whenever I get sufficiently good enough to not embarrass myself in a game with you, I'd love to play.
Scofield
I saw you online only briefly this year, but you're a good guy. I remember you welcoming me back when I got back from Europe, and I really appreciated it. I still look up to you as one of the old guard members, and you have my respect.
Seven Deadly Sins
Where were you this year???????
symphonyx64
Good friend, good teammate. I've known you for what seems like forever, and you're a really nice guy. Always greeting everyone in #usbest and keeping conversation going. Don't overexert yourself in the Politics thread, most of them can't even vote. It was cool to have you in the channel and hang with you for another summer.
TFC
I don't understand how you never play anything but official tournaments and still play well. It just doesn't make cents. Glad you came back to West and led the charge for the trophy.
USA East
When the World Cup started, I knew you guys would be good. I don't think you had any one "star player" like some other teams had, but you had an incredibly solid roster with no weak links. You should all be really proud of getting to the Finals, as it's no easy feat for anyone. Shout out to Stone for being a classy manager, and shout out to the rest of you guys for being classy even in defeat. I know you'll be a strong team next year, and if West's run is any indication, set your sights on the Cup. You're right there.
yee
Really proud of you dude. You've grown immensely from our tutoring, and hanging around West developed your skills a lot. Absolutely clutch performance going 4-0 in pool play and picking up another win in the Semis. West wouldn't have gotten to the playoffs if you hadn't emerged with the team on your back.
