grats south, well-deserved
I'm super glad we managed to put together a team that competitive and prove that France is one of the top communities in Lower Tiers. For that, I want to sincerely thank my co-managers
Lambovino and
Tuthur, it was a pleasure teaming up with such talented and dedicated players.
Pepeduce - You won't believe how happy I was when you said you were down to play for this tournament a few months ago. Even after staying relatively quiet recently, you still delivered with an in-game as solid as ever and impressive teambuilding skills, your take on SV RU is incredible and I wish more people were able to witness your genius in action sometimes. You showed once again that you are the very best France has to offer in RU, merci pour tout frérot.
PokemonCestDur - My guy, I knew I could count on you for this tournament even if you haven't been really found of SV recently, you were here when the team needed you and were clever enough to know when to step back when you weren't feeling at your best. You are the nicest and most mature person I had the chance to know on this website and the team benefited a lot from you. Tu peux être fier de ton tournoi mon pote.
Flabeauf - You already know everything I think about you Flab. Although one of the newer faces on our roster, you quickly became an essential piece in the French RU community this year and proved you belong there during this tournament. Thank you for forming a goated duo with PCD, I love how you both interact and consistently come up with great builds. Thank you for being awesome for team spirit, I know you have the skill to become one of the greatest french player ever so keep working hard lil bro.
Slikkles - Goated sub, I would have loved to see you play more but sadly circonstances weren't favorable :/ Thank you for all your inputs in RU, you are a talented player and your opinion was always very valuable. You definitely have what it takes to be a top player in RU (and in many other tiers rofl I don't know how you can keep up with that many metagames bro), so I hope we'll keep seeing you around!
Elias PSY - I'm not really present in the NU community so I never had the chance to team up with you and I am very glad I was able to for this tournament. You clearly are the best french NU player which made me less involved in your channel compared to others so sorry about that. You and Esteban were self sufficient and very productive which was extremely impressive so thanks a lot.
Esteb4n - I had no idea who you were before the tournament I'm not gonna lie but man you are so easy-going it was a genuine pleasure teaming up with you. You managed to bond with people right off the bat and definitely contributed to the quality of our team environment. Thank you for your involvement with the scouts in every slots, carrying NU and taking part in RU, PU and ZU talks too. You're an awesome player and person in general.
Hiko - Bro just keeps doing it, I wasn't super on point with your lower tiers achievements prior to this tournament and mainly knew you in OU but damn thank you for being the absolute goat of PU, you carried us all tournament man. Great team presence as well, I hope you stay involved in lower tiers because you were invaluable, thanks a lot.
Platum - The second PU goat, you managed to keep a positive record despite the strong opponents you faced all tournament so insane work. I had the pleasure to test with you a bunch and I can comfortably say you are very skilled and France is definitely lucky to have you in PU. I think you and Hiko were quite complementary and I hope you were able to learn from him in the past few weeks, with a bit more self-confidence I'm convinced you will become a PU legend. Thanks for everything.
CMDoge - While I was mainly active in RU, Tuthur in NU and Lambo in PU, LC was a bit trickier because we had less knowledge about the tier but you guys ended up being mostly fine so thanks a lot for this. I had heard your name pop up a few times in OFCS so I knew you were a fun guy and in the end I'm super glad you were down to play with us for this tournament. I know you didn't have the easiest tournament but despite a rough start you kept being active in the LC channels and carrying the discussions and teambuildings which was extremely helpful.
Toadow - The OG of french LC himself, you almost got me to seriously pick up the tier a few years back during STT so it was super fun to see you down to play for this tournament. Thank you for carrying our LC core and being autonomous with your builds and tests as well as helping other slots like Mono. I wish I had the chance to interact more with you so hopefully we team up again in the future!
dunoks - Damn it was so awkward to leave a player as good as you on the bench, I wish we had more slots so you would play but we also knew you could take on any tier if we needed someone to step in and you did. Just knowing that you were here made the tournament way easier for us managers lol so thanks for this bro.
Cielau - I'm so happy we finally had the chance to team up for a big tournament like this! Similarly to LC, we wanted self-sufficient players in Monotype to cover our lack of experience with the tier and you were the perfect choice. You had a great tournament despite some unfortunate matchups so thank you for showing up like you did. T'es un joueur en or mec et je suis super heureux d'avoir partagé cette experience avec un ami comme toi <3
Cherbou - ZU was pretty awkward at the beginning of the tour because of some unfortunate events, so I'm sorry you had to step in in these conditions. Nevertheless you showed up and took a W despite the pool being far from easy so thanks man, we really appreciated that.
Gelbel3c - Another french OG who contributed to me seriously getting into this game thanks to the hype around STT back then. Your Monotype core with Cielau was awesome so thanks a lot for everything.
Thank you to the few players who joined in to help us as well!
AS Saint Priest you carried our LC prep, you rule. Same for
Daharan and
Canard in RU, I truly wish we could've given you the chance to play in this tournament but slots were too scarce. Choosing who to get for RU support was super difficult, it came down to peak performance and Flab just made Open's finals so we had to go with that. I hope you two get to experience a World Cup from a starter's perspective in the coming years and if I have anything to say about it, I will do my best to see you on the big stage.
To the very few who made it this far, thank you for reading, LTWC was an incredible experience and you better believe France will be back in the next editions to claim that title!
