what can i say, it's the third stour but it feels just like the first one i've won. looking back on my mons career makes me feel a bit nostalgic but at the same time very happy, i got to play strong players and i put in a ton of effort during all these years.
if there's anyone who i need to shoutout for this run it'd be haxrme and kek u_u. i was winging it in live tours till all of a sudden you guys decided to play mons again, and first thing i knew was that i needed to make a smogon tour run. you put up with my insane rants about teams and even if you say you're useless yourselves it helps me a lot having someone to talk to. massive shoutout to Ahy Wddicted as well for helping me test for semifinals and finals since the ss and sm ladders can be quite dead at times, and also for giving me trust in my team picks.

and i did not forget to make a shoutout to the ladder, if you know me i'm not a big SV OU fan because i find terastallization very silly and broken but i admit it's probably still the best tier just solely for the fact that it's the current gen, and current gen ladds are always active (actually sv ladder isn't THAT active compared to peak sm ss, but if you compare it to actual sm ss ladders then you can make that point).

last but not least shoutout to my friends who cheered on me, can't tag you all but i appreciate you from the bottom of my heart :heart:
 
Empo man! you are the greatest to ever DO it brah. how many times do i have to tell ALL you spectators and fans that he's the greatest to ever touch the game? it feels like i gotta repeat the same obvious answer and you guys constantly REFUSE to listen and change your perspective, its like y'all got stockholm syndrome or sum if im saiyan it rite.

i knew you were the GOAT back in 2018 when u gave me ur kart, mega lopunny, metro kyum team and i hit 1800s with it coming back to mons after 6 years. i've seen it all brah. all the highs and the lows. let's feel nostaglic. it felt like your journey for real started when false called you a clicker in your 2018 wcop game and you fucking owned his ass the moment he called u that... then u teamed up with lavos and lax and brought ruiners back to glory. ive seen ur failures too in OLT when you misplayed a mechanic vs abr (which you woudve decked him in the face in series too), winning spl with rewer and 30 thousand banned users on the team, to winning wcop, and then decking soulwind in the damn face and hjking his ass 6 times and breaking his mental... we then went back onto and supported u to winning ost while staying up 3am for your game which took like 50 hours cause lorenz dced. brah those were the good times bruh. its crazy all the lows started coming with you failing wcop and olt, but that never stopped us from believing in you. you came back stronger and decked stairmaster in the face the day i came back from graduating college :GOAT:

every1 kept saiyan u was washed, and u was never gonna live up and claim goathood despite posting up a 8-1 spl record and playing this game 2 hours a year.

let me see, how about this rebuttal. *checks notes*

officially 7-0 in all finals (MJ status)
3-0 in stour finals
1-0 in ost finals
2-0 in spl finals
1-0 in wcop finals

-broke the record for the most ever stour points achieved in 2020
-63% team tour winrate
-first person to ever win 3 stours

let's stop deluding ourselves. he is the undisputed. unlike someone on this site with 4 trophies like him, he hasn't been negative in the last two team tours (1-5 btw), and also empo can definitely play old gens as he proved in adv revival so he could deck any1 too. empos still been in form after all these years and plays this game 5 hours a year brah.

also he never needed someone like trosko to carry him in team tours while going negative for the past 2 years overall despite joining every single tour on the site and having someone like me slay him in a 4000 money tournament hurting his legacy on the line.

You are the GOAT man! xtra$hine wud be so prooud of you. i'll never stop supporting you like a real friend cuz most of yall on this site dont know wuts its like to be a real friend and be on someone side in all their highs and lows

It’s official. The 4 GOATs of Smogon
 
fixed that for you lil broe

View attachment 641621
That is like not putting Michael Jordan on the GOAT list because he’s “washed” no shit hes like 70 years old. ABR come back season soon tho:worrywhirl:


I swear Soulwind made semis / finals of every tier and every generation. If SW won every finals he would have had like 10 individuals trophy


McM is right behind BKC, if only he was more interested in individuals
 
Congrats to my brother Empo for winning smog tour again. It was well deserved and the amount of effort you put in tournaments is insane. You have been the goat in my eyes the day we started talking. So good job brother and I hope you keep on entertaining us like this.

As for Vert , you been amazing in every tour you try in. You’re the most consistent sv player and the best sv player by far. Proud of your runs and next time, you will be winning the entire thing. Cheer up bro, and congrats on this amazing run.

Just wanted to comment a bit on this goat status talk that’s been going on here. Everyone has their own list of goats, and changing that list is tough since people have their own opinions about stuff. However, today my boy won. It’s his day today. Congratulations again empo on another milestone. You earned this one again buddy.
 
Very impressive Empo. I still remember playing you hundreds of times when you exclusively used Xtrashine Bird Spam on the ORAS OU ladder in those first OLTs.

Even from the beginning, your potential was clear. It should not be disputed, you really are the GOAT.
