Had a great experience managing BLT for the first time. Big ups to my great friend TTT x for doing this with me when I asked him after the last couple years on the same team together. The whole team put in a lot of effort for the last near 3 months and this has probably been my favorite and most motivating tour to be a part of.
huge shoutouts to my awesome teammates in no particular order DOOR MONEY TeamCharm TJ Failures Fc Plunder queso Fangame10 HugeNoobLmao Lucas2543 Failbor dunoks Blimax bdov wesh papillon hjkhj we killed it this year despite the awful start and it was all cuz of how insanely well they were able to clutch up.
unfortunately we missed the gold by an inch but such is mons and I'm looking forward to teaming up with and seeing all of these guys in future tours

also a big thanks to Danny John1240 Mishimono Jesse504 style.css Plas Cielau who helped with prep throughout the season without being obligated to

and ofc thanks Jordy004 and Tranquility for running this smoothly
 
ggs laxes, sorry I couldn't close it out team. idk if I've ever grinded a week of prep that hard but doubles main Fc will have to wait for now. Happy with my season overall though, think I played some good ubers at least and got to use fun things. Thanks Gray and TTT for drafting and everyone in the teamcord who made it an enjoyable experience, we didn't close it out but we had a huge comeback and put our all into every week which is all I coulda asked for in a team. Didn't use anything too absurd so I don't have a huge team dump but here's one of my favourite things I built, random specs Yveltal team that loaded into rain and has an unlosable mu vs rain so it worked well.

ggs perts, that was a very close series. definitely could've gone either way

to the laxes, i fucking love you all and i can't be more proud to be your managers, we did ourselves justice towards the season and all of our hard work paid off in the end. this was a very fun season because everyone is involved and makes the team chat super lively/

gonna do shoutouts especially because we won this lmao
doing shoutouts in the drafting order

Crunchman our goat doubles player who clutched it up in the finals despite apparently being cursed as shit in team tours LOL, esm convinced me to get u despite ur sometimes worrying habits. i'm glad i was convinced and u've been a stellar presence and teammate, i'm happy that u finally broke the curse bro.

Elfuseon u might not have the greatest season but i've always had fun teaming up with you in a lot of tours, glad that we finally win a tour together after losing some in the finals. hopefully you'll have a better season in the future

lkapkd1 people shat on me for drafting u but ur actually a pretty cool guy and also an amazing cheerleader, congrats on the 2nd win!

Fragments goated randbats player, you've also been a solid presence and cheeleader, helping out on OUs etc. sorry that you didn't get to play more games but i hope you enjoyed the run

Attribute our star player is a mono main oml LOL, you're solely the reason why we have monotype slot unbeaten throughout the entire tour, i knew i wanted to get you when i saw your name in the signup list and i'm glad i did. i was genuinely heartbroken when you lost the tb match because i know you deserved to win but hey, it all worked out in the end

tazz you're such a beast in lc, you might be quiet in chat but you always brings a win whenever it mattered and i'm glad i drafted you for relatively cheap

Ninja u might consider urself a flop this tournament but never have i regretted drafting u in this team, u offer so much support in other tiers as well, u might have gone negative but it hella could've gone differently, don't be so down on urself dude, u got this.

TDNT my fellow weeb oml, a shame u didn't do that well, i have had 0 doubts of your skills, u were a tad unlucky and a bit impatient at times during games but ur a very pleasant presence in chat and still a really solid ou player in my eyes.

RoyalReloaded sorry you didn't get to play more, but hopefully you enjoyed the team chat and the carry towards the prize lmaooo

GW holy fuck did i get so many steals throughout the tournament, despite losing in the finals, you've been consistently very solid throughout the tournament and you truly showed people up with your record. im probably a broken record at this point but man if i could retain everyone on the starting roster i hella would

ZoroDark LOL my friend since the ancient po times omg, i was banking very much on the fact that people don't know you or think you're hella washed but even a washed zorodark would still smash people anyway. sad that you're not active as you used to be bc of irl understandably but i still can't forget the time where i had to message ur brother to get u signed up on blt LMAOOOO

gorex my fellow singaporean brother (or am i?), obviously u didn't do great this blt either but ur presence in the chat is super funny and i believe in future iterations ur eventuallly gonna kill it bro

Meminger21 omg the ubers goat himself, when things looked bleak you just singlehandledly carried us to a crucial win in the tiebreaker, i doubted you at first but i was dead wrong, you've proven yourself time from time that you're very much competent in the tier

@Zen fuck i can't even tag u bro, u were such an overlooked player that even i didn't even start you for the first few weeks, but man u are a beast in ou, what a fucking god. also 4k is very much a steal for a player of your calibre. i'm glad i've grown to known you closer throughout the tour cuz ur a great guy to talk to.

EternalSnowman LOL i had to save the best for the last right? i'm proud to be able to say ur my closest friend on the whole smogon and i'm really happy we managed to win another blt again. maybe one day we will meet each other irl. i think you know what i would like to convey anyway so i guess i will stop here else it'll get too long

also shoutouts to all of the helpers and cheerleaders in the team chat bb skarm Sirwings Memoric TheKingKarp sirmrwhale FatFighter2

first and foremost, thank you to the clutchmen Meminger21 and Crunchman for for carrying me in the tiebreak lmao. the team morale was def low after the game but hey it all worked out in the end. to my managers EternalSnowman and trace, i didn't think you guys would draft me after what happened the first time around (i got smashed) but when i got the pm from trace that he was very determined to get me i wanted to make sure i tried my best should i end up on the squad. 19k was... stretching it a bit to say the least but its always a nice feeling for someone to have that type of trust in you and i am happy that we made the most out of it. not gonna shoutout everyone on the team individually mostly cause there's way too many of yall and i didn't really interact with everyone much, but i would like to give a special shoutout to Zeno420. ive interacted with you the most this tour and man was it a fun experience. we prepped the ou slots together, pissed our pants watching the playoff games together, and much more. you even had a great tour for yourself too. hope you enjoy this win man. to the rest of the team, you guys were fantastic and fun these past 11 weeks and i wouldn't have it any other way. our regular season was absolutely dominant and it carried on to the playoffs too. each one of you deserve this win and im happy we can celebrate this one together. DugZa Floss my boys... thank you for coming in to the finals to help wherever u could and making sure i don't go fully insane whether its me hating pokemon or having some crackhead idea in the builder. you guys did a horrible job though seeing as how i almost used scarf goltres and it wasn't vetoed LOL but thankfully i had a backup team!
last but not least, maki add me back on discord wtf bro i KNOW you see this
 
so i normally wouldnt do shoutouts, but bc this was a really fun tour and we won a ca + money, ima give a shoutout to some ppl who really helped us along the way

first off, to all the snorlax members i dont mention, it was a great ride, we were definitely doubted coming into the season, and a lot of you guys put in big performances, especially tazz GW and also Elfuseon and Meminger21 in the playoffs! But even beyond those guys, so many people on the roster contributed big time.

Crunchman trace was definitely skeptical of you when i brought you up to draft, but it was worth convincing him. it was a great season, and also special s/o to Memoric who was around and helped us the entire season, you guys put together an insane season, and clutched up the finals

Attribute our star player, even if you faltered a bit in the tb, u lead us to an insane 9-0 mono year, it's always a pleasure having you on just for the team presence, good shit

Zeno420 i definitely had no idea who u were b4 blt, but u did a good as hell job this year, ur prep was so good and definitely played above anyone's expectations

Ninja great to see you back after so many years, i definitely didn't have as much interaction w/ u before as trace did, but was glad to have you on the team nonetheless, even if you weren't that proud of your record, you still did a great job, what matters is we got the dub

Fragments special shoutouts to you man, cuz even tho you only played a game, you helped us prep in so many slots and were a wonderful presence in chat like almost everyday, and that shit matters a ton.

and to ZoroDark and gorex, i really wish we coulda played both of yall more, u guys kinda got shafted just cuz our roster was strong, sorry about that

also special shoutouts to the other managers who helped me make the power rankings after w1 and sorry i didnt make content this year, im a bit burnt out on mons in general so didnt wanna invest infinite time into blt like i usually do. at least now ill get a break for a few months until gen 9

lastly, trace we finally did it again! we have made history in blt, i believe the first and only ppl to win blt 3 times, plus the first franchise to win 2 blts. you really did a great job this year with the draft, we got so many players for steals, and people were still doubting us going into the first week, but we showed not only how good our draft was, but how deep it was too. i know its been a hard couple of months for you for various other reasons, but hopefully this win goes a long ways to making you feel a bit better <3. it goes without saying that you are my closest friend on smogon, and we definitely need to meet up sometime.
