I think it is better to do this now before I start cracking up. You know, they say the worth of the beaten gives glory to the victor. Congratulations to
Adaam for putting together a great time, that amongst other had the best record of the tour and the only undefeated player in
Christo . You guys pushed us to the limit twice. Very respectful ggs.
Now that this is out of the way,I wanna say some things about my team. This was my first time managing a major tournament and honestly I had no clue what to do, besides approach all of you and hopefully make you see the team I envisioned. I couldn't be luckier with the teammates that surrounded me and this UUPL is more than enough of a proof of what we were capable off. I want to apologize to you for any mistake I made during my managing; my intent was always the best for our team, regardless of how I went about it. Man psh who cares anyway give s/o already you dipshit. Hmm let's see:
Accelgor (aka sexy kinoso): Thank you. Thank you
for costing my right kidney making my transition from a player to a manager easier, thank you for helping out the tiers I could not, thank you for
trying to steal my authority having a million more lines than me in the discord, thank for being my friend and thank you for keeping calm when I was about to erupt. You are the best
assman teammate and friend I could ever ask for.
Indigo Plateau (aka bulbafurry): I thought you were an amazing player and despite all the irrelevant shade you were thrown I never cared what people had to say. 3 weeks in we had a talk that made you truly show what I knew you were capable of doing and I couldn't be prouder of you and happier I got to team with you as a player and down the line a friend. I love you brother
Stone_Cold (aka
grumpy motherf... Dave): I don't think I have ever seen an outsider to UU be so passionate about a tournament. I know we butted heads a lot and I told you many times that passion made you do rushed things but overall you were the heart of the team w/o knowing any of us. Thank you for being a test machine, thank you for coming clutch in many tiers, thank you for tough-loving me into a better manager and thank you for your friendship. That late in their careers, very few people maintain your drive. I hope you stick around for more.
PinkDragonTamer (aka my son): First time I talked to your bum ass it was on skype and you were like 13. Look at you now. I'm so proud of you for everything you have become over the years. Holding down our SM super consistently and never complaining when I asked you to SS basically because I didn't do my job well during drafting. You are capable of great things; never forget that.
dingbat (aka flaming pp aka my toof hurt): I know this tour didn't go as planned resultswise but I will never regret teaming up with you.You were an amazing chat presence and even tho you were disconnected from the game, every week with your plays you showed flashes of the dingbat I know; the ORAS UU madman, the ORAS UU goat. Draft was tomorrow, you still ORAS for me. FUCK YOUR TYCOON YOU WILL NOT QUIT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!
Amukamara (aka liam): I knew I was going to be torched alive for buying Accel and not starting him in BW, but I knew what you were capable of and you never let me down. Idgaf what the score board says, you came up big for us when it mattered the most and no dogshit rng can take that away from you. Amazing from start to finish, I hope we get to team up again!
esche (aka LORD ESCHE): My apologies for letting you rot in the bench at the start. You took over the slot that was bleeding for us and made us a force to be feared. Thank you for changing our names in the language of the gods and thank you for not asking for the cookies I promised you.Huge in SM, GOD in DPP, you were a fuckin steal. Thanks for everything you did for the team,I love you.
Raichy (aka
): Similar to Amuk, only rng could stand in your way. From the moment we talked pre draft, my ADV list had one name on it. You are an amazing chat presence, a great player and a magnificent person. I feel blessed to get to know you and hopefully our paths cross again next year. FUCKIN ADV GOAT I LOVE YOU
Mr.378 (aka GOD DANIEL): What am I supposed to say? 9-1?9-1?! BRUH! You killed everybody and rightfully so. It was incredible to see you work throughout the whole tournament, despite all the ''GSC UU masters'' mistaking skill for pure luck. You carried huge despite of situation and you were the only GSCer I contacted showing me the will to part of a team I envisioned. Thank you for trusting in my vision and I pray we get to team up again, although next UUPL if you don't go for 100000K people are actually stupid.
basaninho (aka His): WHOSE MANS JOHNS IN FIANLS TF ARE YOU DOING?! I think everything I feel about you I have already told you. I love you to death and I am willing to die screaming about your endless potential. You earned your place on the team, you earned you place on the starting lineup and you earned the respect of everyone else with your showings. I couldn't be more proud of your evolution as a player. Keep reaching new heights my beloved baguette.
TMM (aka TOOMUCHMONEY): Amongst the best quality people I have met in this server. I was unable to provide you a steady place in the starting lineup but at least I hope I was able to aid you with experience in high pressure situations. Keep trying and the time will come. You are capable of big things and quote me on that. Thanks for being so invested in the team. Your presence and attitude about us all season meant the world to me as a manager.
LLH Estarossa lyd pokeisfun Killintime Donphantastic Slowpoke92i : I do not care if you were unofficially part of our team. You essentially had nothing to gain and yet stuck with the team to support us with tests, builds and love in any way you could. I cannot put into words how much that meant to me. I love you all and as far as I am concerned part of this trophy is yours. I learn from my mistakes and rest assured next year many of you will not be ''unofficial'' members of a winning team because you deserve the best.
@CyTzdlW you were the first to trust me with a UUPL spot 3 years ago. I promised you then I was gonna bring you a trophy. I couldn't. Now that I can consider this my thank you for trusting in me when almost nobody else did.
My team in its entirety made this tournament the best team experience I had since the day I joined smogon. This isn't a time for melodramatic walls of text. This is time to celebrate. YOU EARNED EVERY BIT OF THIS AND I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS HOW HAPPY AND PROUD YOU ALL MADE ME. FOR THE LAST TIME THIS YEAR:
GO VETS!!!!
