For me, this has been one, if not the most fun BLT to date, and it's a large part bc of this team me and Alex managed to draft. I knew coming in we had the potential to win it all, but I really needed some people to step up and show how good they were. I had so many people step up throughout the course of this season that by the end I truly felt like we were the best team in this tour. For outsiders looking in, I think its often interesting to know how much prep a team puts in week to week. My team this year had really good outside support, but a lot of these players were also very self-sufficient, and knowledgeable in the tiers they played. Big shout to everyone on this team for not making me build and test ten teams every week lol. Without further ado imma do some shoutouts:
RaJ.Shoot lol noob get rekt. Ig ur right about drafting a lot of Indian players, though :3
EternalSnowman this tour literally would not be the same without your weekly vids, thank you for continuing to do this for the tours community
Plimsoll Punks WE DID ITTTTTTTT U LAZY MF. Whether or not it seemed like I was slightly more present than him this BLT, I just wanna say how often this guy was right here helping me out. Whether it be coming up with a draft plan the night before, watching and supporting our team, or keeping me entertained in the manager chat, he genuinely did sm for this team. When I wasn't there, he always was. I really do not think I make it through this season without him making me laugh, and talking about the team and games, so ty for agreeing to manage w/ me even tho u don't like mons that much xd
For the players/support:
Decem
THIS DUDE IS ASSSSSS LMFAOOOOOOO. DID Y'ALL EVEN WATCH THAT UBERS GAME????? God ur literally the worst player I've ever had the dishonor of managing.
TeamCharm I knew coming in that you were one of the players I 100% wanted on this team, both for playing ability and just being a super chill dude. You really carried us through some of the earlier weeks, and then got us a vital win here in the finals. You were super active in the disc, being a good teammate and friend. Can't wait to play with u in the future and see what waves u make in this community. Btw congrats on playing like every tier wtf... STOP CHANGING TEAMS LAST MINUTE THO U BOZO
Decem Ok fine. I genuinely do not regret drafting this dude one bit. You had your ups and downs this season (partially bc idt you care ab mons too much lol), but you still tried your best (most weeks) and that counts for so much. You were an incredibly positive part of the disc environment, and an awesome person to talk to. You're an insanely good player who reads my plays incredibly hard, and you keep Maki in check so I appreciate that :3
Blimax I AM SO SORRY. This team was really good, and it was at its best when unfortunately I had to stick this incredibly good player in the most cursed tier of all time. Every week was destined to be a 1000 turn game, and yet he still put up with me and the team. Being such a good player he was often able to give advice to newer players as well. I know this may not have been your ideal season, but you can come out of it with back to back trophies :) Btw sub to his YT, he makes good vids :)
myjava WHAT A STUD. I knew coming out of the gpool this dude was going to be severely underrated, both from PSPL and the few other times I had see them play. You had an incredible season, and I know in the future you'll have a lot of success in bigger tours like WCOP. You truly are a great OU player. Just glad I could be here at the start of it all
Harshal_08 I am not going to lie, Harshal was one of those last minute picks that me and Plimsoll just had a good feeling about. We knew we were getting a solid OU player, but just how good was definitely unown. Turns out we were getting not just a good OU player, but one of the best. You helped carry this team throughout the entirety of this tour, and stepped up far more than me or Alex could have imagined. Again, I cannot wait to see you in other big tours like WCOP in the future
Wubben Wubben was truly and awesomely a great team player. Whether or not he got the start, he was there, helping support and cheer on the team. (An idea of this is after losing a few weeks, he asked if he could opt out of the custom bc he did not feel as if he was doing enough). But i need ya to know that you did do more than enough, and were a great teammate.
Demykunst Another example of an incredible team player. I especially appreciate how you reacted to my announcements every week so I felt like people were actually reading them haha. You really were an awesome person to work with, super chill about all the decisions people made. You and wubben both have bright futures, and I can't wait to play with y'all another time
udongirl You were really awesome this season Udon. Your team choices are not traditional, but it really didn't matter for you. The most important thing to know how to do is win, and you win a lot. You had a very solid 3-1 record, and managed to use cool teams along the way. My only regret is not being able to get you more starts, but I know you have a bright future on this site
StitChuu Probably the best pickup of all time?? I know you would've liked to have a slightly better record, but you were so much more than that for this team. Whether it be your personal presence, or the people you invite, you largely contributed into making our disc what it was. One of the nicest people I've had the pleasure to work with, and I really hope we can team up again in the future
Serene Grace Undoubtedly the best LC'er of a generation. I know you had some tough losses that you would like back, but you still had many incredibly clutch wins, with very little support. Upon drafting you as one of the most expensive players I knew you would be worth it, and you 100% were. You were self-sufficient for a large part of this tour, and still managed to get wins. Also, sub to this guys YT too, he also makes very interesting content :p
mammalu
Another player that stepped up incredibly hard, and earned a spot in the starting lineup. Upon beginning the season I was going to slot Maki in DOU, but it turned out we had another great DOU'er right here!! Not only did you have an incredibly clutch and well played season, but you got better every.single.week. You showed a knack for this tier, and I truly believe you will have success in it in the future in other tours. Ty for stepping up frequently, especially when it counted, MAMMMALUCOOO
Maki HELLO AWESOME WEEB. Big shoutout for changing ur pfp to a disc logo, ride the wave. You either went 4 or 5 and 0 this tour, going undefeated. It was really really awesome to watch, and throughout the last year I really believe you have improved as much as anybody on this entire site. I know you may be planning to leave PS soon, but you still gave this tour a lot of effort, and that counts for so much. I hope you stick around, but if you don't, I wish you a lotta luck in whatever you do
I am very happy with the team me and Alex put together, and I think it showed just in how flexible we were when creating lineups every week. It really came down to the immense talent that existed up and down this lineup
