I am really happy that we won, 2 years ago I had the opportunity to be a manager and reach the final on my first try, unfortunately we lost but 2 years later here we are, being champions and none of this would have been possible without yall gamers, the best team, the atmosphere was amazing, we laughed, we helped each other and we were very motivated to win, we had a difficult regular season, we were one step away from being eliminated but we were able to comeback, we won in the semifinals against the #1 team, an undefeated team and the team that beat us 1-5 in the regular season, that gave us a very strong motivation, unfortunately we received the sad news that our friend Blue had passed away, one day before the finals, that unfortunate event brought us closer as a team and motivated us even more to win for her, thanks Blue for making this possible.
THE SKY WILL ALWAYS BE BLUE.
I'll do some individual S/Os because I really have a lot of words for all the team members, and I want to share them!
First,
Elian, thank you for:
Lasen, my friend, you've known me for many years. You're a great player, a great member to the team, and I was 100% sure I wanted you to be with us. It was the right choice, you won the most decisive match and made us all happy without a doubt, the hero of ESPATHRAS!
twincell, the Japanese hero, you're an excellent player, the best player in SM, an absolute beast. You helped everyone, even in other tiers, your help was vital to our last win. Lasen already said it!
you were our most expensive player, and you made it count!
Most Call Me Jim, my goat, you were someone who when I saw your signup I said, "I want Jim on my team for SS." I've been seeing your excellent performances since you joined Smogon and BSS Discord, your games and help during the tournament were amazing, you are a formidable player!
This is your first team tournament and you won it, 2-0 in Poffs, it's amazing for sure!
I'm very proud of your growth Jim, and I hope to see you in more tournaments soon
Chicos, I met you relatively recently, we shared a team in BLT, and from then on, I knew you were an absolute beast, capable of adapting to anything, and BSS was no exception when I saw your signup, I was 100% sure you'd be on my team, and here we are, we didn't win BLT, but here we are, and we did very well!
Fragments, you mf, I've known you for many years, we’ve shared many tournaments together, You're my manager and I'm the player, this time it was the other way around!
You are an excellent player, and that's why I wanted you on my team, you had a bad start, but I always knew you were one of the best choices, I hope we can be on more teams together!
BP, you were with me last year, and I know you have many years of experience playing BSS, I knew since last year that you were the player I needed this year too, believe me, you're one of the best players, unfortunately, bad luck is part of this game, and this tour fell on you, but that didn't stop us from winning this!
Alpha1013, I finally got u here homie, I tried so many times, and you'd been stolen many times…You're finally with me, and look? We won. You were definitely epic to the whole team, you played ORAS and had an excellent performance as always!
Foolycl, we'd never spoken before this tour, but I knew you were a great player, and you certainly are, you are currently 2-0 in the SCL, and you were a huge help in our BSSPL win, I hope we can play more tournaments together!
Bella, I apologize for not letting you play LOL, I meant for everyone to play, and I feel terrible about that, thank you so much for being part on the team I hope to see you soon!
Ikaishi, Perdón padrino, olvidé que estabas en el equipo por un momento AJAJAJAJA
Compartimos juntos muchos torneos este año y por fin ganamos uno, el mejor SS player de la época, vas a ser muy grande en esa generación, me hubiera gustado que probaras SS BSS pero este año no se pudo y discúlpame padrino
Elian, claro que iba a hablar de ti pa AJAJAJAJA
Eres mi compa desde hace ya varios años y agradezco esa amistad, me ayudaste mucho este torneo y eso fue parte clave para que ganáramos esto, tu primer avy carreado por mi, siéntete orgulloso y arriba las farmacias Guadalajara
DerpySuX papiloco Bachy Mrbanana45 StarkGod THE KITCHEN SQUAD, yall frends are amazing helped us a lot, but in a way that I will always be grateful for!
Yall were part of the team at all times, celebrated the win with us, were there day after day in preparation, tests, mistakes and everything.
You all know what I think about each of you because have been my friends for several years now, I love you guys!
Special mention to
Concept who offered me they help from day 1 but with so many tryout messages for EPL I lost messages and forgot everything LOL
And finally, the most important person on the whole team,
Blue (Ronin), the person who helped us with all the scouts week after week ready for us to win the tournament, even when Elian and I were inactive she could take care of the team easily, helping in everything necessary, unfortunately we found out the bad news and I felt terrible, I wanted her to be there when we won, to enjoy our triumph, celebrate with us and know that all this was thanks to her, rest in peace Blue, all of Espathras and all Mexico will always miss you :)
