im actually gonna kill u vrothis tour is so chopped
couldnt you have told him that on twitter where death threats belong
I made the horrible mistake of opening twitter and checking my notifications, I'm very disappointed in you Samuel.
Shoutouts time but first of all i gotta thank my team for everything they did during this tour, especially in playoffs since i was pretty inactive in the last weeks so im pretty grateful about this and their performance, also the hosts for giving us a shot here and made this posible, finally the whole purpose about our draft was picking those guys that have a lot of potential for ndpl and they are unknown in the natdex community, and those who havent experienced teamtours to get an idea of what is it this kind of pressure and not only individual performance. I'll be down to manage a lot of things the next year if someone gives me a shot, including CL in these plans.

Gracias por apuntarte al proyecto pa, ocupaba un manager de confianza y que supiera llevar los momazos consigo y quien mejor que tú, clutcheaste con los teams y los tests con los SV, definitivamente carreaste los slots y fuiste uno con el equipo, diste tus opiniones con gracias y fue de suma importancia durante todo el tour.
Mrbanana45
Necesitábamos al mejor dealer y te nos uniste, desde EPL sabia que llevabas el rol y la seguridad para un ser manager en cualquier equipo y se te agradece por todo. En general no te puedo decir mucho porque he expresado toda mi gratitud personalmente y ya sabes que eres mi amigo del alma.
Fixzation : Man this guy went 8-1 without support, amazing performance, i knew what u can do since i saw ur name in the Pool, u are astonishing in individual stuff too so i am pretty sure you will be in NDPL next year, hope i see u again in ndwc aswell.
White Atoq : Mi player más caro y con justa razón, se te dio bien el tour pero lo duro viene en ndwc para que asegures slot en ndpl next year, no puedo expresarme mucho porque esto es trabajo de dark y bana que convivieron mas contigo, mi mas sincera gratitud hacia ti.
kimer : Im so grateful that u dmed me that day during the auction, you werent in my plans tbh but thank god i picked you, also we put you as a starter and my man just smashed the regular season, keep going and u will be creating a name in the natdex community.
TBIC106 : Good to see you playing this time man, i didnt know how u played tho but still we were needing confidence stuff in low tiers and we got u, great performance in playoffs just as we expected, hope to see u in the future and getting to know you.
Kana Arima CEO : Man you were in a streak aswell and finished this tour very good, a lot of potential for the future here, ya te teníamos considerado desde antes que hubiera ins y fuiste el amuleto de la suerte y esa dupla mágica con dark nos ayudó mucho en el tour. Espero verte en ndpl y que te fichen en ndcl como rising star.
ComputerWhiz : I know u as a draft player and those 2 words gave me the confidence to pick u, even when u felt uncomfortable with some teams ur discipline mostly gave me enough to still trusting the process no mather what, if ndpl or the next CL needs someone that gives everything in every single week, my man right here is ur guy.
BEASTADARSH : Yo im pretty amazed about what u did in this tour, i know u feel like u had to prove more but u had guts and spirit the whole tour and that’s everything i needed, my only suggestion is to be more patient with everything, u have a lot of potential but u gotta focus sometimes.
LogIce : Despite of having a mid tour u clutched the last weeks and of course the tiebreak and you should be proud enough about it, i feel like u had a lot of pressure in regular season mostly after w2-w3, i hope i'll get to know u better man and u can count with us if u need smth. Also u were so helpful in the dou channel and thats one of the reasons we won this tour.
crow crumbs : The DOU Pool was pretty stacked so i went all-in for you, i always trusted you and that performance you did even when u don’t like the tier i believe, hope to see you in the next Natdex competitions if u r willing to try smth new.
Heatranator : Yo I was gonna give u the starter slot but my boy kimer was on fire and couldnt give u more minutes, im hoping to see you again in the next fl if u want to try it, also i hope that u had a great time in the cord since you were pretty good helper in ndru, u are pretty good in individual stuff in the tier so keep going.
Nish the Great : Our last coin in the auction and it was pure gold, big s/o to Darknessxi to pick u since u were surprisingly good and helpful during the whole tour, plus you won semis and final and that’s a promising begining right here, hope to see you growing up in the forum and never change my man.
rarh2 : Otro tour contigo y este si lo ganamos, best 3k ever, clutching final y semis aswell en una tier que no esperabas jugar, tienes aún más potencial en ubers ya que nos dabas un paro cardiaco en ss hdp, espero que te vayas haciendo un name en el foro y que sigas creciendo en las sombras.
The Hisui Region : Man u were the MOMAZOS core in person, great person and player but sometimes u gotta be humble, id like to see you growing more and more and winning stuff because you deserve it, but just don’t reapeat what happened in w1.
Toryyy : 40 apodos te puedo poner y aun así eres sorprendente, espero que este arco que tienes te haga crecer y explotes todo tu potencial, no importa que te tardes en eso, todo toma su tiempo y también siento que te presionas mucho, superas esto y los logros vienen solos.
Yelou : No te puedo decir nada amarillo, tienes los mismos mensajes en el cord que copas del mundo de Brasil, igual ya sabías tu destino porque te lo dije y lo aceptaste, bien despreocupado de la vida mi paisa.
BrisingrDraconis : I hope u spent a good time in the cord and i don’t know how u went undrafted, good win the one u make because of the conditions, just 1 day to prep and still won, damn aura, grow individually and i may see you again in ndfl.
boppy : Im not gonna forget you easily my man, best 10k that i spent and im not joking, u were pretty helpful with the teammates and this counts as a title for u aswell, i hope u doing well wherever u are.
Big s/o to jawabarat about15gals Kayzn Ineros 1yr eldids Interlinked seth Voltix for the help, i wanna do some special ones but all of you were very kind and incredibly good for the prep time, tysm for trusting us and i hope to see yall in the future aswell
small s/o to my epl goat emoxu9 for his time to help us, just to let u know we made it.

Listen, even though we lost 2-7, getting to Finals was something I genuinely didn't expect, and I'm proud of everyone in CKC for everything, whether it be playing, supporting, or whatever else you guys were doing. I was actually hesitant to manage NDFL, but I'm so glad I did because its been a blast to say the least, so shoutouts to Animemer and Illouri for letting me on board with them. Massive shoutouts to Medasus for helping too, he was basically our 4th manager, helped a ton for drafting and doing tests, and even though you went 2-5 in NDRU or something, you're still goated at the tier. Oculars also deserves a shoutout for the drafting help, as well as providing absolute heat for almost all our tiers.
Spy1198 I know I kept doubting your teams, but notice how almost every single time you kept proving me wrong. Even though I think you need to branch out of Fat Balance teams, you were still an integral part in what made CKC so fun to manage, especially since you kept our OU slots so active.
unfuuny MY GOAT... MY GOAT DID IT... going 6-2 is absolutely insane bro, one of the best people I've supported honestly, I'm shocked we didn't use anything more stupid but who cares... GLORY TO FLOOBER
also shoutouts bumboclaat for the support right at the end, Tera Dragon Eternatus was a very good shout.sh0shin This guy is actually so good I'm not even trolling, one of our best players, he's always active, always on that grind, and I respect that heavy. PUT THIS GUY IN PREMIER LEAGUE RFN, GOING FOR 3K WAS A DISGUSTING STEAL.
Dead by Daylight Listen, I know we had a rocky start with the whole RFNing fiasco, and I'm genuinely sorry for all of that, but you're still a great player at NDRU and NDUU, hope you do well in future tournaments bro. Also shoutouts to Danbear02 for the support in NDRU too, appreciate it.
saw war newnew Biggest underdog of this tournament, and I'm serious. Even though you were a bit inactive on Discord, those Ws do not lie. Keep it up goat.
benladil I think we can both agree, NDOU fucking sucks. But here's the thing, you don't LOL. I might rob some of your teams not gonna lie, they were pretty good...
Dunes NDMono is just one of those tiers man, so sorry you got horrid MUs in and out, you're so much better than that. Shoutouts to Dahness too, one of the funniest people in the server, and even though we didn't play you much, you were still W support.
Smudge ChainlessJoe I'm not gonna lie, NDDOU was the tier I was most worried about because I know next to nothing about Doubles or VGC, so I couldn't really test with you guys. Regardless, you guys did great, the synergy with you two was beautiful to see as well.
Me Empty STOP BEEFING MY PLAYERS... nah I'm joking. Great SS NDOU player, but please destroy illouri in fortnite PLEASE
ibleachyourskin Insou I know you guys weren't that active during the end, but still appreciate getting us started in SS NDOU in the earlier weeks, appreciate it heavily.
dewfew Thank you for keeping Medasus in check, that's like the most important thing we needed for NDRU slot.
Genesis9507 Retereereeeree Donopan Comett7778 Sorry for not really making the most out of you guys, please don't take it personally though, I mean it when I say WE felt your presence in the discord, even if some of you guys weren't actively supporting or testing. Hope to see you guys next year.
Moyerf I know we kinda left you after Week 2 in favour of unfuuny, and I know it wasn't the best idea to slot you into NDUU, and I'm actually sorry for the poor support we gave NGL, but I'm still happy you were here bro, please don't take this experience as a bad thing.
digo dont ask how i forgot about you bro I DIDNT MEAN IT ISTG ur a good nduu player dw about the games u think u sold
Xurkiyee Mollymiltoast thanks for the support at the end greatly appreciated
This last shout out is for everyone else who supported us inside the discord and outside, your encouragement is what kept us going to push through into finals, W community #realshit... I'll see yall in NDCL
this one aged beautifully ^

i cannot believe my rookie year as a manager would end up in the finals and a second place finish. i always had high hopes, but it’s still unreal. we may have lost 2-7, but i can’t even be upset or mad simply because of how great our team was
Animemer HUGE shoutout to you for being my ride or die since I’ve met you, let alone for this tour. Managing with you made everything so much funnier and enjoyable. Without you, CKC would literally never be a thing
Medasus Sami Oculars Sami, you tagged along with us and gave us the rep we needed to hit the big stage. Medasus and Oculars, you were basically our 4th and 5th manager and helped a lot with draft and teams. Fuck that 2-5 record, you were still a big part of the team in the prep Meda
benladil i’m ngl, you kinda pissed me off when I first met you because you kept asking to play but didn’t help with prep at the start of the tour, but I began to look at you a lot more positively when you started thrashing NDOU and the other tours you were in. You are for sure next up and I expect big things from you. GL vs Lameflame goat
Spy1198 I have never seen anyone build with such dog shit but have it actually work. On a real note, you are a very talented player and have very creative cooks. I’m sorry that i greenlit you playing Nish on friday rather than working out a sub, but you played very well. One of 3 players to play every week
saw war newnew
straight demon in this tour, even if you were outside of your comfort zone with the teams you loaded. Your prep was genuinely ludicrous throughout the tour, probably the hardest worker when it comes to prep. See you next year in PL <3
sh0shin i’m a little biased towards you since you were repping my favorite throughout the tour, but you were genuinely amazing. You literally played every week, bar the tie break where your opp dead gamed </3 You were overall a great presence too, so thank you for hopping along for the ride all 11 weeks
Me Empty You were very patient to play and you were a funny presence overall. We became quick friends and I’m glad we picked you up. But your sleep schedule is utter dog shit
Insou ibleachyourskin you guys didn’t get play as much as the other 2 SS guys but you guys were very helpful during prep and are genuinely great ppl. I hope college is going well for the both of you
Dead by Daylight now I know I had a bit of a temper at the start of the week with ur rfn’ing but you are still a great player and I’ve known u for a while. I’m sorry you didn’t get to play RU as much as you had hoped but your contributions to UU were essentially to our success. The slot would’ve literally fallen to shit without you
digo Don’t let this tour make you doubt your skills, you are without a doubt a great player. You were met with a bad mu and some shit luck. You’re a funny guy and are talented at UU. Keep up the great work
dewfew we’ve literally been friends longer than CKC has been around, I don’t think I need to tell you how grateful I am to have you on our team. You didn’t get to play that much RU but when you did, you performed
Dunes The third and final player who played every week. Carried our mono slot with admittedly less support than I hoped (I will also never forget being geeked and being amazed on how good ur discord wall looked LMAO) very talented, keep it up
Smudge Another big carry on our team, put in insane work in the doubles lab and was quite humble. Sometimes I was a little scared that we were pissing you off, so sorry about that. Watching your games honestly made me want to try out doubles, so I’ll keep in touch. Thank you for your work goat
(I ran out of pings LOL)
unfuuny - breezai.
Already a good friend of mine, but this tour made us even better friends. You were going crazy in the Ubers tier and were very versatile. You also got me saying “floober” unironically irl
Moyerf - I’m sorry you didn’t get to play as much this tier, but you were a big help at the start of the tour and for other tours that were going on outside of FL (like your ZA money tour). Don’t let your performance in this tour doubt your skills. Stand proud.
Chainlessjoe, Retere, Comett, Donopan, Dahness, Genesis - You all were criminally underutilized during this tour, but you all were great help during prep and were a great presence in the cord. Some of you were snubbed from playing for reasons outside of your control, and I feel so bad you guys couldn’t perform. You all have my praises
Xurkiyee, Bumbo, Mollymiltoast, Danbear - These guys helped with prep towards the end of the tour, and they undeniably pulled through. We couldn’t be more thankful that you highleveled guys would come help a ragtag team like CKC
I love all of my players. I cannot wait to see them reach new heights throughout their career. see you all in ndcl
I want to start by saying that I am so proud of all of our players, though I’m sure you’re all used to hearing it by now lol. This was our first season as a team, my first time managing, and we had more doubters than anyone else in the entire tour. But instead of folding, instead of letting the noise get to us, we focused up, put in the work, and proved those mfs wrong. We didn't settle for just a good record, we took the CKC all the way to 2nd. And every single one of you helped make that happen.
To all of you who played, prepped, tested, scouted, laughed, tilted, and rallied alongside us: thank you. I’m grateful beyond words. Here's the best I could do though:
Illouri
Thank you for always supporting my adventures, even before this tour. If the entire world was against me, I’d still feel safe knowing you were in my corner. I know activity wasn’t always easy, but you gave what you could, and that’s all I can ask for.
Sami
We literally wouldn't have made it past the signup post without you. Your scouting every week was crucial, and you were always willing to help test teams even when you had limited prior knowledge in the tier. Total backbone of the Club.
Oculars
While you weren't the most talkative, you passed us tons of great teams that carried us (especially SS) through the season. Your input in the draft was also great and led us to saw who really proved himself despite being lesser known. TYSM.
benladil
I didn’t know you at all before this: we were so close to missing out on one of our MVPs. Early on your builds were definitely uh consistent LOL, but watching you branch out and evolve over the season was awesome. Now go beat the flame out of that lame mf.
Spy1198
One of the funniest, most creative builders I’ve ever seen. Your presence made the Club cool. The vibes wouldn’t have existed without you and your Meloetta.
saw war newnew
My GOAT. You adapted so fast and became one of our most reliable clickers. Wherever you go next, you’re going to pop off.
sh0shin
When our original SS starter couldn’t play, you stepped up and made the slot your own. Even when results slowed near the end, you held strong. You should be proud af of your performance this season, GJ.
Me Empty
One of the biggest morale pillars in the entire team. The season wouldn't go this far without the laughter you brought. And watching you and sh0 cook was super cool.
ibleachyourskin Insou
Although we rarely got to play you two, it was still great to have you available on the roster. I hope Uni finals are going well XD
Dead by Daylight
You did amazing this whole run. Sorry for leaving you locked into UU most weeks, but without your consistency we weren't reaching finals. Genuinely great job.
digo
Even though we didn’t play you much after lineups settled, your contributions in prep were invaluable. Couldn’t have done it without you.
dewfew
Puff dewwy. Every week you were valuable in prepping our RU slot. The games didn’t always go our way, but your impact absolutely did.
Medasus
For a pair of amateur managers, we needed the help, and your input during draft genuinely shaped this team. Thank you for speaking up when it mattered. I won't talk about gameplay...
Dunes
Monotype pressure is a different beast, but you handled it well despite too many weeks coming down to you. Watching you prep was both hilarious and painful. You deserved better luck, but your plays were still great.
Smudge
From the moment we managed to draft you, we knew we struck gold. You played extremely well all season, even through some unfort MU's. Also one of the most humble humans alive.
unfuuny
Good shit this season goat. Funny, supportive, cracked. I can see you going PL easily.
Moyerf
It's unfort we didn't get to play you more in Ubers, but I know you're a great player. You were versatile and helpful, thank you.
ChainlessJoe Retereereeeree Comett7778 Donopan Dahness Genesis9507
You all helped save prep more times than I can count. Special shoutout to Reter for being everywhere at once.
Xurkiyee bumboclaat Mollymiltoast Danbear02
You guys came in clutch when pressure was highest. Thank you so much.
Despite constant naysayers, we earned our place here, we proved we belong. Next time we'll finish what we started.
Stay Cool everyone, and happy thanksgiving!
