Not open for further replies.
Dak Prescott gets the win. His opponent is disqualified from the battle for bringing an illegal move, so the Kinky Kinglers move on to the final round.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/stabmons-357829643

Finals will be the Devious Diancies VS Kinky Kinglers. Gen 6 VS Gen 1. Legendary princess pokemon VS non-legendary peasant pokemon. The underdog team that no one thought would make it to the playoffs VS one of the top contenders since the beginning.

Needless to say, this should be interesting.

Nah not accepting this, thats retarded to get Dqed for that. He forgot it was banned, and easily could have changed espeed to a different move and re did the match. Its semis of MPL, getting a win this way isnt entertaining for anyone

As I said earlier on PS, it would be equally shitty for Dak to play out the match and then lose. His opponent brought an illegal move. In any standard tournament, he would have been immediately disqualified for that. It's a shitty situation for everyone and honestly I feel bad for both players, but this is the most fair way to do it.

They're the rules for a reason, and if they're broken, then you get penalised. Heck, in this case I'll bring zard x into mono and say I didn't know. Seriously for someone to be 7-1 in MPL who consistently played STABmons, not knowing a move is illegal is just stupid. What's worse is that you guys are completely disregarding tournament rules and are being immature at it.

I'm writing my shoutouts now but I disagree with you on how we were being immature about tournament rules. Yeah, I was salty + I forgot, I asked for a redo and got denied. Cool. I'll admit my mistake and take an L, no big deal. Sure I had some issues about tournament and Stabmon rules but whatever it's showdown.psim.us @ smogon.com/forums it's not that big of a fucking deal. What I don't tolerate though is people like you bashing me for making said mistake, which caused me to act "immature" as you call it.
 
Hahhahahhahaha oh monotype and and their OM's and their bans(Still my favorite tier)but oh well now's not the time and place for that. What's really the time and place for tho, is these mf' shoutouts and to the team and how I felt about MPL.

Let's first start with el' illegal move clause. I'm sorry guys about my mistake. I had made ALL my stabmons teams PRE-MPL, moves and all, before espeed got banned. I even tested that team cause I was planning on using that type against dak, tested against some team members. Before I did my battle, I did a bo3 Pickrandom of 3 types I would use, being Steel, Fairy, or Dark. They all got one of each. I did the final pr and it turned out to be fairy. I'm sorry for costing us the biggest win of the season which I know I was going to get. Sorry I didn't know all the rules, and sorry I used an "illegal fuckin' move huehuehueuheuh hyuck I let all of you guys down. My mistake cost us.

Now let's move on to these shoutouts. All of my members did good in my opinion, though we did have some... rough waves along the way such as some hax, some chokes. I felt like I bonded more with my team than ever.

Animus Majulous - The immaculate UU monotype prodigy. I knew you as the dude who used a cool flying team back in the day and played CAP, but since being with you you're a chill person and your UU teams were cool.
Azelea- AAA legend under Yaksok who had some cool matches and teams along the way, besides the choke or misclick 1 or 2 games
Bushtush - Legend who had some good matches along the way as well, also heat teams
Disbelief - My man had me in Disbelief that he wasn't being drafted for 30k plus he lost some games ;_;7 still cool tho
Jyph - Jyph the Myth at BW. Man with the BW teams and the wins and one of the old legends of BW
Omega-Xis - IDC what anyone says this is the best manager of all times I love this dude
Prosaic - You were out because you were being an asian and school and all but still a cool guy
Ridley. - My man an ORAS legend 2 we had some good games but also some L's but it's all good
SocialSocialSocial - The DUBS God Social scoring the dubs in dubs god i'm so fucking bad at puns either way MPL allowed me to bond with you and your a chill guy
thetalkingtree - even though you came late in the season, you are a chill dubs guy too also I love the groot avi
ThimoTheUltimateBOBO - You are chill as well, sorry you had a shit season plus banned from the rest of it :/
Ashaury- Monothreat man had some good battles some bad ones too, still chill, also sorry about the season :/

I'll also keep the discussion about new MPL tiers short and sweet since my man iVid did all that work which I agree with 100%. My advice would be eh, less OM's, more past metagames. With Sun and Moon approaching in the Holiday season, I'd say a good MPL line up, on a whim and in my opinion would be... Sun and Moon(I say no ORAS because Sun and Moon is rumored not to have a lot of new pokemon)XY,BW as the basic meta-games. For the OM's, I actually like Stabmons, so that's one. Monothreat is also a given. Followed by AAA or Mono Ubers or Mono UU. Mono LC would be cool too.

Anyways, I think I'm done here. Good Luck Diancies and Kinglers, and since I'm not really a fan of Dianices, Kingler use Crabhammer!

Well, that's quite an unfortunate way for things to end. But I'm not upset with Jak or anyone on my team. I have my head held high because we gave it our all every week and we were a threat from the get go to take it all and everybody knew it. This year was such a blast and I had so much fun with my team. It's always a fun time of the year in general to me, I enjoy the banter with other teams and getting to meet cool new people and get to bond over a big tour like this with people that I've already known for quite a long time.

Animus Majulous I was so honored to have you on my team a second year in a row. You're an amazing player, you learn tiers so quickly and I feel confident putting you anywhere. It's pretty ironic, but you were one of the best performers in both Hidden Type and UU and I never heard you complain about either. You're a legend man, not even a globally renowned "bad" meta for any MPL can stop you. It's been great to talk to you more too, and I know you're busy with school but don't become a stranger.

Ashaury Me alegra que haya tenido la oportunidad de tenerte como un miembro de mi equipo. Era un honor que jugaste para los Memers cuando no te inscribiste para la MPL. Eres un buen amigo y siempre gozo hablarte. Si necesitas que traduzca algo otra vez, avísame. Me ayuda también porque entonces me doy cuenta de que las palabras que no sé y por eso aprendo más. Buena suerte con la facultad de medicina; sé que serás el mejor doctor :) ¡Necesitamos asegurarnos que nos quedamos en contacto, amigo!

Azelea I'm so glad I got you. You're one of the chillest people I met on the site and I felt pretty comfortable venting about anything in general to you. I know you were upset about some misclicks and matchups, but I was really pleased with how you did in AAA. I think you had said you were leaving PS after the MPL, but please message me on Skype or something. Same thing I said for Animus goes to you (and no shocker it's gonna to to all of you xd) don't become a stranger. You're such a nice guy.

BetaHousing Sorry that I just nommed you my assman without even asking. I was seriously gonna take you for 15K too if I had thought I couldn't get a Dubs player I wanted for less than the Assman/Manager price tag. It just speaks volumes to how good of a friend you are, since I'm pretty sure even though you don't play much anymore, you would've played for me if I asked. Also, enjoy this summer man, freshman year is gonna sneak up fast :p Keep in touch and let me know how everything goes, you're one of my best friends and I've known you longer than anyone here.

BlackJak RIP I didn't know you were leaving after this season ;-;. Like I already said DON'T apologize I honestly thought ESpeed was only gone from Normal so I probably would've made the same mistake. Also don't apologize because you were such a HUGE reason we got to where we did, 7-2 like did YungLean REALLY only go for 16K. I'm sorry I stuck you in ORAS a week and I know you might've liked to play BW more, but I felt the team needed you to play STABmons and that that gave us the best chance. If you're leaving keep in touch with me somehow, we've known each other for quite awhile and you're one of my favorite people in the community.

Bushtush LOL HATERS GONNA HATE HATE HATE and they mostly hate because they know how good you are. Man I got a TON of shit for drafting you but you were one of the best players in the whole Premiere League. If I was given the chance to draft you again, I obviously would. Such a great teammate too man always fired up and you had everyones' backs. "Can't chain a god." Keep bringing the fire man because I love watching you play. Thanks also for being my testing buddy as I've been getting back into UU, I plan on building a ton more teams for it so keep a heads up for that and stay in touch :)

Disbelief If anyone gives you the "LOL FRNEN COST 8X MORE" shtick tell them to come talk to me n_n Anyways we've been friends for awhile, you clutched out that win Week 1 even though I know you weren't too happy with your play, but you got that nice FLAMES win (literally, you used fire) against Chef the last week of the reg season. Best 4K pickup imo. I know we'll be seeing more of each other but like I've told everyone else, stay in touch you're cool to talk to.

Jyph I am in the presence of greatness... the BW don. Honestly how you didn't get bid on is beyond me that was a huge oversight and I felt like such a huge pleb not knowing of you before (and most the time I think I know this community well u_u). That BW play should get you a fatass bid next year so shouts out fam calling with you the few times we wound up in a group call was fun as hell too man, keep in touch.

Omega-Xis I'm sure I was a group meme or something and I know I didn't do the most except for toy around with the lineup to find the best fit and then I'd usually ask you guys for approval, haha. I was more hands off because that's more in my nature, but I really hope I didn't disappoint you guys by managing the way I did. You guys were so good anyways that I thought I'd just be getting in your way. I wouldn't do anything different in the draft, I know I drafted the very best team.

Prosaic I'm honestly sorry for not playing you more. You caught a ton of shit for that Week 1 one and I was really made at people that gave you so much crap because I kind of think it got to you. Like honestly, people are mad about a paraflinching Togekiss repeatedly flinching something? Like I know the crit was bad but the rest of that exchange was odds man lol. Anyways I'll be playing you for the 3rd place game so let's get this; if you were upset after this season, I'd understand and I'm sorry I didn't play you more.

Ridley. 4-5 my ass. You should've at least been 6-3 or 7-2. You got some insanely bad hax that just completely shifted games on you. You're one of the best ORAS players and it's a shame that RNG didn't let that shine through. You did so much initial organization with getting everyone together and helping plan what people would play. Just as a FYI, if we were in finals, I wasn't going to do what you asked because I firmly believe you gave us such a good shot to win EVERY week. Don't get so down on yourself; you played very well this MPL regardless of what a record might show. And, as with everyone else, keep in touch. We'll see each other so it should be easy.

Shining Yin Man Idk you at all we picked you up right before the playoffs though. I'm gonna play you for this 3rd place matchup though so let me know what you want to play; I'd hate to pick up someone and not let them play a match. Not my style.

SocialSocialSocial I know we knew each other a little bit before but I felt like I got to know you a lot better from this and I'm so happy I drafted you. Comin' out blowing people out the building with your Bug team. It was so fun to Skype with you on the occasions I did throughout the season and I know you'll be busy this summer but I hope we stay in touch somehow. Thanks for the Dubs team too and for telling me to not be so shy there even though I am. I definitely want to give Dubs a serious shot and learn it well, I absolutely love the community and it's a nice change of pace from Singles.

thetalkingtree You will forever be a legend to me. You beat the Kinglers with a Kingler. Skyping with you and Social that one night was so cool too, and I'd be down to do it again any time. If you sign up for the next one I'm 100% sure you'd get bid on and it was a crime that you didn't with how good of a player you are, man. Anyways, I'll probably be lurking around the Dubs room so I definitely plan on saying hey here and there and seeing how it's going and what's up.

ThimoTheUltimateBOBO I know you got haxed, you know you got haxed. That record is NOT reflective of your skill nor your teambuilding skills. I know you were really down on yourself, but don't be. Keep your head held high and your chin up and come back strong for MPL 3. Everyone knows you're worthy of playing on this stage. Also remember that 2 of your losses were in Monothreat, and not only did you get haxed, but that's widely regarded as more cancerous than regular Mono!

all falls down Thanks for the testing when I wasn't sure if there was gonna be a manager v manager playoff or not man. It helped a lot. Might test some more stuff with you in the future. You're a great player and someone I respect.

Anttya I really enjoyed playing you guys Week 1. A nailbiter until the very end. A shame you guys didn't get in the playoffs, such a solid squad. #Can'tBeatHax

Arifeen A bit disappointed with how I reacted to things here and there. I'm pretty sure we're cool now though so it's all in the past. Thanks for testing some of my troll teams in the past (I had some Magic Coat Leavanny bullshit I tried to meme with and tested with you one time) and I know about a year or so back I'd talk to you a lot late night when I needed someone to talk to. You've come really far on Smogon and you've even been in OLT; you're gonna go so far and you've earned it. Wishing you all the best not only in mons, but irl as well too, man.

Balto You and Wanka... Predict lords foreseeing that 4-4. I know we had a few disagreements here and there but I told you why I got the way I did at times and I know we're cool man. So great to see you voiced again and even though I don't watch all the videos you upload, I definitely do watch some of them and I think the content is great and I enjoy them. You've been around as long as I can remember and I'm glad you're someone I can call friend.

Chakra Good shit man. I don't remember what you went for but you played really well and were worth whatever Ant got you for and probably more. Chill to Skype with.

Clearly Smh Idk what you went for this year but whatever it was it's probably criminal. Time for you to get a 15K+ bid because you deserve it.

Croven Oml like young Dubs Yeesus and you're only 15. Keep playing man because I think you're going to be not only a great Dubs player, but a great player overall.

Dirpz Sorry about the week we played you that was really ass. Thanks for being the biggest Memers fan once you guys were out of it, it's a shame since I really liked your guys' team.

EienSeiryuu Kind and knowledgeable, a pleasure to talk to. Great showing for your first MPL and I look forward to seeing more games from you in the future.

Entei. All the joking and shit I give you aside, you're such a good friend. Thanks for being there for me and for helping me test shit even though I'm ass.

iGlack You being in calls with you the few times I was was super chill. Solid player and you're so knowledgeable, love what you bring. Would've loved to get you but Dirpz had to keep upbidding !_!

Kammi What happened to Ghost sucks and I know that's probably made your interest wane with things but you've always been a player I've respected. "CAN'T HEAR THE HATERS OVER MY GXE!" Always been humble and just out here slaying. I'm already prepping some playlists btw because you're my dank EDM fren n_n. Good luck in the last bit of senior year and ENJOY it. It's a blast. Good luck with deciding between schools; you're so smart and I know you're going to go very far.

Lax I'M SORRY ABOUT WEEK 3 OK. Also I'll definitely be coming to you and AFD for some testing for RU teams or something. And if you wouldn't mind, could you pass me a couple NU teams? I'm getting into more and more stuff lately. You're a great player and someone I respect. Grats on getting into NUPL buddy, saying you deserved it is an understatement. "I'm so blessed 'cus I put in work", a bit corny because it's a song lyric but I feel like this really applies to you. You're gonna go so far and I'm looking forward to see how far you wind up going.

Sakis Hey the Skype calls we were in were fun and I enjoyed getting to meet you. I'll see you on main/origin and I'll make sure to say hi! Great Monothreat player and I really enjoyed seeing your games.

Ticktick Thanks for all the testing when I thought I might be in a manager v manager showdown lmao. It really helped. Gonna try and talk more man, you're one of the nicer, more level-headed people in the community.

Wanka Solid stuff lad. Literally predictions Yeesus along with balto. Predicted that 4-4 like seriously... And honestly you're a great player and you can play anywhere, so diverse. A bit newer compared to the veterans but the plays sure don't make it seem so.

Wyn I tried :s

There's probably more people to shoutout and I'm sorry if you're not there; I honestly love this community and it's an honor to me that I'm a manager of one of the teams in this event. Everyone performed so well and even though there's drama (inevitably) with this event, I always love participating in it and having fun with friends.

Its definitely sad that our journey ended like this after that comeback, never the less GG's Kinglers, you guys deserve your win.
Shoutouts for Omega-Xis for picking me. Tbh you weren’t one of the managers who i thought would pick me but i’m happy that you did! Like Jak said i felt really close with this team, we had great synergy and everyone made everybody else better. I’ll have to admit i am kinda unhappy with my record, not that i would care about a W/L on a pokemon server, i just felt i let u guys down and didn’t carry my weight. It was a crazy season for us. We had great up’s but also some low moments. Anyways i loved mpl this year and i won’t take this memers logo away. #AlwaysNextYear #MemersWeOutHere2017. Shoutouts to all of my teammates who made this experience so enjoyable.

Disbelief You have been a good friend of mine in a long time and i was happy when i saw you on my team. I knew i had i guy who could always boost my confidence up with practise when i ne-, i cant do it lmao, anyways you really silenced the haters and again showed people why you are worth more than 4k. I hope you the best in future my indian buddy.

Ridley, I know you are beating yourself up for these L’s but really don’t. Sometimes you just have to remember its a game and let it be. You could have easily been 7-2 without the hax but stuff happens. I hope u the best in future

BlackJak

Seriously, though great run fam. gl with everything.

Bushtush fuck the haters man, Kaiser tried to get in your head from day 1 of mpl and you just kept ur cool and took the W’s. People can say whatever they want but you were by far the biggest steal from the draft.

Animus Majulous You really suprised me ngl, You really killed the competition in UU. I hope u the best man.

Jyph You too suprised everyone and just kept getting those W’s especially that clutch. u were the best free pick by far.

Social and @Talkingtree, Had no clue who u guys were before mpl, but you guys only just kept winning. hope u both the best in future

Prosaic That win against kaiser will always be one of my faves, gl buddy

Omega-Xis You really kept the team being lit. Couldn’t have asked for a better manager. Gl with everything fren


BetaHousing Wait you were on our team? =D, Couldn’t have asked for a better assman.

Also shoutouts to the Scizors being the best other team from mpl.
 
Well...That was a very anti-climatic way to end the "Epic Semi-Final Tie-Breaker".Props to Kinglers though,We brought it back in the normal series and they brought it back in Tie-Breaker.Although I'm not sure how I feel about that DQ,it still is a website based on Pokemon so I can't really be too salty about that.

Anyway about my MPL season,I'm not gonna lie,If I could get drafted for any team in MPL3,I'd definitely go for Omega's team again because unlike last season, our convo's in the Smogon and Skype group were fun as hell.Everyone maintained a positive attitude and was always ready to test teams.I still remember,in the very first post Omega said "Before I get into the lineup, I wanted to just preface my expectations for the whole Premiere League. First things first, and it might sound lame, I want you to have fun. Yes, winning is great, but if you're not enjoying the experience, this whole thing can really be droll." And we did that, we were always having fun in the group and making jokes.It's a shame how almost every one of our week's were us getting haxed or us haxing,the only good week was against ampharos in week 8 I think.I'm not really happy with my W/L (4-3) but hey,I got drafted for 4k,I guess I can use that excuse now.

Goodluck to Kinglers and Diancies although I'm personally rooting for the Diancies to win.

- I didn't know you before MPL and it's a shame I didn't really because you're such a cool guy and always helpful.I loved your UU Matches and the fact that you took your time to actually prep and win games for us cause I know you don't come to PS! as often as you used to. We definitely need to keep in touch after MPL ends.


lmjyV9N.png
- Ahh Adviser30, One of my best friends in PS! and someone I was really glad to have on my team.I'm really thankful that you let me play AAA in week 1 cause I thought I was gonna play Anttya but instead got Rozes.It's a shame that you got so unlucky with matchups and misclicks but hey that's Monotype.Also forget about those times when I was being harsh on you,I hope you know that I was doing that to encourage you. I know you're quitting after MPL and I'm sure we'll stay in touch but hop on PS! more often fren :( You're being really inactive already :/


v667t7g.png
- The real god and MVP of our team.How on Earth did this man get a 7-2 record is beyond me.I didn't even know you played Stabmons and you brought home wins like a true don.It's a shame your last game of MPL had to end like that.You were like a 100% win for us in almost every season and we knew we could count on you in Tie-Breaker but hey,the only thing that could stop you from winning that match was a DQ obv.Even if you're quitting, remember to come to PS! once in a while :/


Xgpxh1s.png
- There was a lot of controversy around you being bought and frankly, even I wasn't sure how I felt about you being in our team but honestly, you are so cool and so helpful.I'm happy that you were on my team cause I got to know you better and hopefully we can still stay friends and MPL ends.


u0aWCOd.png
- The Yellow Ace,more like The Player Killer slayer.What a don clutching out that win in W1 against Kaiser.It's a shame how you became inactive at the end of the season but I know you have school and you're Asian so I can understand :( Remember to hop on PS! more often :/


qB1T4vL.png
- I'm not gonna lie,you were probably the person I was happiest to have on my team. Like we already had that MPL1 chemistry and now in MPL2.It's a shame that a DQ stopped us from winning 2 MPL's in a row :( It's sad how you got matchupped or haxed in most of your games as you definitely deserve a positive W/L.And I know you're the guy who told Omega to draft me and that's something I will always be grateful for. But forget about the hax and matchup and keep ur head up for the future fren :D


RW7LUuE.png
- Before this MPL,i just knew you were that one Dub's guy who was dumb enough to play Monotype Doubles.Jk Jk ofc but yea I didn't even know you before this MPL and I'm not gonna lie,I definitely missed out on that.In the first few weeks we knew we were guaranteed a win with you and Jak.It's a shame how you couldn't play in the last parts of the season.I hope we stay in touch cus you're such a cool guy to talk to.


5OV7Wv9.png
- Ahh Hive! The BW Don in the flesh, the person no one even heard about and didn't even get bid upon in Drafts but you definitely proved everyone wrong and how they completely messed up when they didn't draft you.Definitely the steal of the season.We've been friends before this MPL and I'm sure we'll stay friends afterwards. I hope you learn a new tier or two because you definitely have potential and it'd be wrong to let that go to waste.


nSWI6mZ.png
- The Dubs god that if Social didn't tell us about,we would have definitely missed out. It's sad how you didn't get drafted at first but hey you literally beat the Kinglers with a kingler,How do you even do that LOL. I didn't talk to you much in MPL but in the convo's I could see that you were definitely a cool guy and a great person in general as you always cheered people on.


H2DuEcO.png
- The coolest and biggest meme of all time and an Amazing Manager. You are by far the coolest person in the team and I'm sorry that we couldn't bring you in the win as you definitely deserved it.You were always helpful and so fun to talk to.I'm really thankful that you let me play in BW in week 8. I definitely think we should stay in touch cause you are one of the coolest people in PS! You always held a positive attitude and cheered us on.From the first week,you didn't care about winning, you just wanted us to have fun and that's something that not every manager does.You are honestly the best manager anyone could have hoped for. Always meming in the Skype and Smogon Convo and just having fun in general.We had some really great conversations on PS! and I'm literally talking to you as we speak in PS! Lmao. You really did make this MPL a memorable experience for me.#THA Tentacruels


I'm sorry for the bad English cause English isn't my First language. S/O to Anttya for not drafting me and then not even getting playoffs LOL.

Got back from Camping last night, and just checked out the forum today.
I enjoyed playing, and hope to play again in the next MPL. I don't feel like I built much of a relationship with anyone other than Omega, who I'd already spoken to some previously due to us be regulars in a couple similar rooms.

In my short time in the community I feel I've learned a fair bit about it. Like with any community there's good to come out of it, and there's bad. Whether or not one is more prominent is entirely subjective, and I've said before, I'm just here for matchas. I think with that mindset I'll have a better experience in the community. Regardless of what I say though it'd be pretty hard to join a new community, without making at least a few friends. Typing out all these shout outs is time consuming as fuck, so forgive me for this.

Shout out to my team. It's the first time I've gotten involved in anything with the monotype community, and along with the help of you all we got into playoffs. I'm a little disappointed, as I know I could have done a lot better a few of these weeks, but I know I can learn from the mistakes. Also special shout out to Omega/Beta for drafting me. :)

Shout out to community members. Anttya, Scpinion, ACast, iEntei, Blackschwan, 1TL, chras001, and wyn. You guys made the room enjoyable, and helped me get better immersed in the community. Cool peopel on PS are rare, so I'm glad I could meet quite a few.

If I'm forgetting anyone feel free to rage at me cause I'll have deserved it.
GGs folks
 
I remember signing up for MPL. At the time, I was just getting back into PS (basically I can now get on for about 15-30 minutes a few times a week) because I figured out how to manage time in the college life, and I wanted to do something to spend time with Sae. But, I mean, I had no real expectations of getting drafted. In my perspective a team should draft the players that give the best chance to win, and I hadn’t played pokemon at all in a while so I was extremely surprised when it was not Anttya who drafted me, (It would be just to unite me and Sae, and I was pretty sure I’d be a good water-boy and benchwarmer) but Omega.

I played in the first MPL, and basically all I played was hidden type. Obviously there was no hidden type this time, so again, I expected to be benched nearly every week. Last year, I played for Omega as well, and our team didn’t perform that well. But he drafted me again, and this time…

We had a great team. We have great ORAS players, doubles players, and some monotype legends (at least in my book). But guess what. Omega let me play every other week, and I managed to only lose one battle. I’m proud of myself as a player for spending time to win in a ‘not main’ tier, but I’m even more proud of the rest of my Memers.

And here are my MEMERS SHOUTOUTS!!!

Azelea - A guy who takes the lead when others do not know what to do. Azelea, you had some rough games, but especially in our group chat, you kept us together and said meaningful things to keep us going.
Bushtush – If I’m considered good at Mono UU, this guy is the LEGEND of mono UU (and of basically every other mono tier). Bush, you did great. Yeah, you’re getting a lot of shit thrown at you because you tried to fight for Jak’s loss, but that shows something about you. Yes, many people do not approve of what you did. But you fought for what you believed was right and had great intentions, and it shows that you were an INCREDIBLE teammate to play with. You stick up for us for better or for worse. I loved testing with you and I hope we can keep in touch.
Disbelief – Where Azelea and Ridley helped a lot with getting people sorted into playing the right tiers and helping Omega out with that, you were the one that was very open in pms. You would help organize testing days, you’d answer all my questions as best as you could, and you’d direct me to other people too. There was nothing more I could ask for in a team mater.
BlackJak - I'm so sad you're leaving, but we all wish you the best. You're such a fantastic player. You speak your mind, are honest, and you do the best for your team. It was rough. But lemme tell you something. You DID NOT let us down. Heck, without you and Bush we wouldn't have made it this far. You're another of our LEGEND players. (really is a legend now). I hope we can keep talking, I enjoyed our pms and your leadership in our group chat.
Jyph – I mean, Jyph, you killed it out there. Your BW skills are of the next level. But that is not what makes you a good player. You stay cool, calm, and collected during battles, and outside battles, you are a really nice guy. Just like Zarif, you were open in pms, and I could immediately tell you were a great guy.
Prosaic – You had unfortunate hax/shit thrown at you, confidence issues, and school (I understand the Asian feel my friend). But that is not what I remember about you. Right at the beginning, when I got drafted, I tried to relearn mono, and you were the one who helped me out. Keep your confidence high and don’t let others get to you. Remember, its not others you are playing, its you. Its not others who are living your life, its you.
Ridley. – A lot of people have already talked about the hax, but it is what it is, and you took it all like a pro. It would have been cool if you had ended with a positive record, but you played great. It’s a game and you handled it professionally. I didn’t talk with you much in pms, but what you did in our chat was amazing. The first week, you helped everybody get to where they needed to be in our roster and always stayed a leader (thanks for benching me that week btw ;)).
SocialSocialSocial – Another God, this time at doubles. I see you in the CAP room sometimes now, and I’m pretty sure if I play you in this upcoming CAP dubs tour I’ll have a bad time (a very bad time). What I really liked is that even though you won a lot, you were always open to drafting another dubs player and giving away your spot for a week to someone who didn’t play. A true team player.
thetalkingtree – The Groot of our team. Literally… But in all seriousness, you showed up when it really counted. We only had you for a couple weeks, but you’re a very level headed person with great intuition; and you’re a fantastic battler.

And here are some special shoutouts

Special Shoutouts

Sae Sae - The reason I play this game. Every Sunday we skype, and it reminds me of all the fun we had in high school. I miss you a lot and I know you’re having a great time in college, so keep it up. Remember to shoot high and never stop trying to succeed. You’re getting so good at smash, one day you’ll be a legend you just have to keep believing.
Anttya - My favorite female person on this website. Talking with you has always been fun, and it would have been super cool to play on your team. It meant so much to me when you nominated me in the draft, if for no other reason to at least let me be on the same team as Sae.
Omega-Xis- The OG of MPL. Like, there are not enough words to describe how good of a manager Omega has been. He’s always there for his players. He makes sure everyone plays. He puts the W second after the experience, but keeps the atmosphere competitive so we all play our best. He motivates us to succeed. He helps us to test. 11/10 would play on your team again if you draft me next year. I had some of the best time on PS I’ve ever had during this MPL because not only did we have a good chance to win, but we had a team who was willing to talk, communicate, and perform at a high level. And most of all, we were all super cool and nice and I got along with everybody. There was nothing else I could ask for.


Thank you so much everybody!!

LGI MEMERS!!!!

Not going to do individual shoutouts because thats not really my forte, and I wouldn't really be able to say much more than what was already said. That being said, shoutout to all of the memers for making this mpl a great experience! I had a great time and hopefully the next set of games will breathe some life into this meta that is oh so stale. Can't wait until next year!
