I am beyond words that I was able to get another trophy this year. I am overall quite proud of my play but I could have not done it without my helpers. They carried me through each round, so I want to say thank you to all of them.
rush of my blood Your insight in SV was very valuable, especially in semis you helped me out a lot.
Achimoo You undersell yourself too much. Your input is also very valuable and even though you did not have a lot of time, you still went out of your way to help me (especially in SV), thank you!
qways Your teams fit my style perfectly, so I am very happy that you were on board and carried me through SV.
bbeeaa You're the goat for passing me the one team, I appreciated getting help from you.
kDCA This man is a SV demon. Carried me through the later rounds on an insane level. Good calls with the team choices and once again fitting my style, thank you <3
Hazardeur Your 3-0 WCOP record was not a fluke. Your SS skill is unmatched and because of that, you were able to help me who struggled in the tier a lot lately. Thanks!
Eelektrone Drachenkeule Paprikaflow My SM soldiers. I was only able to use one of the teams unfortunately but your help was still amazing and I am sure I would have pulled autowins if I could have played more SM. I appreciate what all 3 of you did, thank you :D
QWILY Jack of all trades. Help in every gen was amazing. Your knowledge is on such a great level that your team calls were right every single time. Truly great work, thank you
Larry Thank you for getting helpers for me and providing me the best stall team possible x.x
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who cheered me on and supported me from the outside. It really pushed me to another level, knowing people stand behind me. I know I'm not the most liked person in the community and that's okay. Thank you for still supporting me after all these years (you know who you are).
Next stop is OLT (I guess?) Maybe it's Worlds next month though. After losing all my motivation and passion towards the end of last year, I am happy that the fire is back and I will not disappoint. If I signup for SCL is still unclear but no matter what, I'll be around.
Cheers everyone

ggs michael, pretty much who i saw as the scariest person to play in the finals and for good reason.
Compared to how i usually approach prep i took a very relaxed stance this tour, just picking teams out of vibes and gut feelings and forgoing testgames. Didnt really expect to get far but it seems not wracking my brain before the game starts actually helped my play a lot, always felt in big games i couldnt play well and had to rely on my team and prep to carry.
Unfortunately, despite my best attempts to keep myself calm the same way during finals, i started to get really stressed the night before, could barely eat anything since then and it all lead to a very poorly played g1. At least by the end of that game i was way more relaxed and felt i played a fine game g2, where my lack of roar on tran ended up costing me the game.
Big thanks to We Three Kings for giving me a hand in both sm and ss this stour and the last, always answering even when i write at the most absurd hours, im sure prepping w someone who didnt rly want to must have been a bit of a pain so i really appreciate it.
ACR1 me ayudaste para un team en total, juge para la verga y perdi. ups. aun asi siempre vas a ser la primera persona a la que le pida ayuda en este tier de mierda, siempre dispuesto a ayudarme cuando lo necesito. y deja de larpear el retiro!!
cya next year. momazos.
