PA thanks for asking to manage with me! we've known each other for a few years now and was nice to finally get to work with you. i appreciate all your hard work and carrying the load of managing with me. unfortunate that we didnt win the tour when we had both the strongest roster and one of the best regular seasons any blt team has ever had, but we'll come back stronger next year for sure >:)
Reje thanks so much for being a big part of this team and playing ubers for us. i know you had a lot going on besides blt both on ps and irl but i truly appreciate you buying into the team atmosphere and being one of our team leaders even during weeks when you couldn't schedule properly... also you're still vetoed :P
Hockey1 i know your performance this season didn't live up to your high standards but i'd draft you again in a heartbeat. you came through with some huge wins and helped baloor out a lot in ou when he was testing 10 million teams each week. hope to see you around tours room more... west coast best coast
Baloor honestly was kinda nervous when we drafted you cuz i thought you were quite obnoxious... and i was right. but in all seriousness huge shotout for being our unexpected star of the season. 6-2 is a nutty record especially for your first tour and it was awesome to see you get better and better each week. you've got a ton of potential and i can definitely see you becoming one of the top players in blt for years to come. thank you especially for being the life of our team as well... roses wouldnt be roses without you :,)
Sificon congrats on your first blt wins haha... thanks friend for slotting in uu and putting up some solid performances. apologies if i got on your case a bit about not prepping too much but thats just cuz i really really cared not only about winning this tour, but you putting up an individual performance that reflects how skilled you are as a player
Kyotoshi been 3 years since our first blt together and it was awesome to team with you again. you were absolutely amazing for us in ru this season and i think it was so cool to see how the both of us have improved so much since laxes. id love to draft/team with you again in the future so hope you stick around in tours room for next year :D
Ninja one of the biggest steals of the tour and our resident brazilian. thanks for being one of our team's leaders and best players this season, especially in nu in which you didnt have much prior experience. the nu pool was stacked this year too and you pulled through with one of the strongest records which shows just how good and how versatile you are as a player. also thanks for talking football (soccer) with me and hope you also stick around for next year :)
Let's Rumble Shall We heatah fajitah legend... thanks bro for putting up a solid pu season for us. it was awesome to team with one of tours room's legends for the first time and was so fun to see what type of team you came up with each week. i know you are a bit disappointed with your playoff performance but dont blame yourself. in team tours we win as a team and lose as a team, the fault is for all of us to share. best of luck with your irl studies and im looking forward to your return in the near future!
Mishimono best doubles player of this tournament for sure... PA and i know absolutely nothing about doubles so we knew we had to draft you. thanks for being amazing for us throughout the entire season and participating in our game nights. it was awesome to know we had almost an auto win in DOU each week and was great to get to know you better as a person. mish.
Kaguya Lys one of my good friends on this site... thanks for qualifying and putting huge effort into this tour. you came out with one of the best mono records proving why you truly are the goat. i know there was some really unfortunate hax that one game but thats how mons be sometimes. keep tearing it up in mpl and hopefully you decide to partake in blt again next year. talk to you later brother
Ron...5 RON GOAT! honestly a year ago you were kinda a meme but after buying you in cvctt i realized just how valuable of a player you were - i had you on the draft plan since day 1. you are an amazing team presence and a lot better of a player than most people realize. thanks so much for being the goat counterpart to :reje: and contributing 3 huge wins to our 8-0 overall ubers record
mets3569 i know we already talked about this but honestly bro you did amazing in your first ever team tour. just like with ron, i had you on the draft plan from day 1 after playing you a few times in room tour quals. you've got so much potential as a player and i hope you decide to not only stick around for further iterations of blt but also in other smogon tours where you can get some more experience. also thanks so much for being super supportive and active in chat even during weeks where we couldnt get you in :,)
Karnisbroke singles goat! honestly im pretty sorry for how this season turned out for you. PA and i had you ranked as one of the top DOU players, but as we had already bought mish we were only trying to upbid you... but somehow we got you for only 6.5k??????? im sorry that you didnt get much time to shine in your home tier but it was honestly one of the best moments of the season to watch you destroy in uu when you self-admittedly said you had no idea what you were doing LOL. also thanks so much for being a huge part of our discord team presence but ngl you had to be the worst skribbl drawer on our team...
Pokemonerxyz i also know we talked a bit about this in pms but dude you've got such amazing potential as a player. this was your first ever team tour and while you had some moments where you lost your confidence you also picked up one of our biggest wins of the season in the deciding game vs the turtwigs. that was such a huge moment for our team and for you to get your first win on the big stage. i know you're already dominating tours room itself but if you have the interest i could definitely see you becoming very successful in other smogon-based tours :D
blce i know you couldn't officially qualify as a player but you were just as important as one to us. i cant thank you enough for being such an integral part of our team. from helping out with managerial duties to hosting game nights and keeping chat active you honestly did the most. i really hope you can qualify next year so we can draft you for real >:)
Pokeslice thank you so much bro for being our secret nu support. you + ninja is an unreal core and i cant express how appreciative i am of your willingness to help us in nu week in and week out, even when you were away at summer camp. i dont mean to discredit ninja when i say this but a lot of our nu success can be contributed to you and im sure he'd say the same. im sorry you didnt know about blt until it was too late but im looking forward to next year when pokeslices comes in to tear up the nu pool :D
bb skarm we talked a lot in pms about various different things, and i don't wish to reiterate everything here besides the fact that i truly appreciate the support you gave us throughout the season. you're an amazing player and builder, but most importantly an amazing person. it was awesome to get to know you and now have you has a good friend - keep moving forward brother
tko The Number Man Icemaster keppy Bag of Trixx ojr lvl100Blaziken SpookyZ TDNT Z Strats Roginald Expulso jcbc FatFighter2 thanks to the homies (gobos) for hanging out and helping :) sorry if i forgot anyone
TeamCharm for unironically being bad at mons and liking chipotle lol
EternalSnowman i know the laxes might have had a bit of an off year but, like everyone before me has said, thanks so much for being forefront of blt hype regardless. the effort and thought you put into your vidoes each week does not go unnoticed
RaJ.Shoot thanks for hosting noob... nah jk ty for being a phenomenal host. im pretty sure this was your first time hosting a huge team tour like this(?) and ngl there were more act issues (not the fault of my team ofc) this year than ive seen in the past 3 years combined LOL. also thanks for being a great friend and hanging out in our cord :P
------------------------------------------------------
id be lying to say that it doesnt hurt to see another team win this tour instead of the roses. maybe it's because i was a manager for the first time ever but i honestly wanted to win this blt more than any other tour ive ever participated in on this site. our team had such a phenomenal atmosphere along with such a dominant regular season, and i saw taking home the overall victory as icing on the cake. while it unfortunately didn't turn out this way i am still incredibly proud of our team for everything we accomplished. despite losing this tour has been my best experience on mons to date and i can only look forward to next season in which roses will prevail >:D
