Managing omsl has easily been one of the most memorable experiences I have had on this site. Initially, I was going to sign up and just play whatever tier my team needed for fun. Then, it came to my attention that there weren’t enough managers to have an omsl. Seeing this, I threw my hat in the ring. At first, I had no idea what I was getting into. I was coming off a long hiatus and had practically no current gen knowledge of each meta. However, everything worked out for the better.
Although the Slowkings did fail to make the playoffs, I was pleased with how we played throughout the tour. I felt as if our lineup had 10 starter level players, and the biggest issue was choosing 6 of them per week. Without further ado, an extremely late shoutouts post mid finals
23Gz - Someone who accepts my bonus type challenges and smashes me every time. Great user, player, and builder. The tier is in good hands, but can you not body me in friendlies? Thank you for your compliance
a loser - I have spammed you with a lot of camo battles recently, and you always accept and bring seemingly new teams every time. You also used one of my stab teams for Swiss, which is a W. All in all, great user and fun to play against.
aesf - It has been fun playing oms with you for what feels like a decade. Easily an S-tier om player, and S-tier personality. Seeing you message me for omgs testing while I was inactive on this site also meant a lot and __partially__ motivated me to make a return to mons. Make a return for world cup y/n
Bea5 - I remember drafting you late, and not knowing much about you other than an inheritance ladder game ~~that you haxed me in btw~~. However, your passion for the team and usage of the fire emoji were unmatched this tour. Unfortunately you loaded up sun vs rain, and then the next game you played in we were mathematically eliminated in. Your record doesn;t indicate your skill, and I would definitely want to play with you in future tours
beauts - Where do I begin? Had no idea who you were predraft, didn’t actually draft you, and here you are. In my shoutout post. Met you through the vc’s and we’ve played friendlies in soooo many different tiers. Great sense of humor, easily one of my favorite users on the site. Always a blast hearing you mald and hope to see more of you in the future. However, I really think you should deafen.
berry - S/o for posting “the one user covid didn’t bring back to the site :(” on my smog wall, definitely made me wanna make a return. The work you’ve done for the ompl records doesn’t deserve to go unnoticed, and I know from talking with you how long it actually takes. Big ups.
Betathunder - Unfortunately we didn’t get to build as many teams for stab ssnl as I would’ve liked, but it was definitely a fun ride. With World Cup approaching, I expect it to be another fun ride :)
drampa's grandpa - Ty for drafting me in ompl however long ago it was, and for building with me in stab for ssnl even if I veto’d the team we made literally mid series based on what my opp was bringing.
eu - One of the first people I reached out to for omsl, and it was a pleasure getting to know you. I know you aren’t happy with your record, but I also made you change sets last second twice and they both backfired twice. Your record does not accurately represent how well I think you did this tour. It’s just a shame you got haxed in every test game and had a couple of less than stellar mus due to last second changes made by me.
Gman - Left multiple messages on my profile while I was mia, easily the nicest user on the site :D
Bonus points for that Godly Gift team Nultiprise won with week 5, 11/10 user.
Heracross2.0 - I wish I could’ve played you more, if Tect wasn’t playing as good as he was I 100% would’ve started you more. Thank you for being active, providing consistent feedback in the inheritance channel, and also being available for test games even though I benched you. Overall, I felt inheritance was one of our better tiers by the end of omsl and we wouldn’t have gone positive without you.
in the hills - Ty for actually accepting my stab challenges, and for doing pretty much everything for the community. If I have a question in the other metas room, ith will answer it. Need a sample team? ith has one. Wonder who’s on *insert meta* council? Probably ith. QC? Hosting tours?
In winners bracket for stab ssnl? ith is everywhere. Extremely chill with all-around good vibes. Also grats on becoming an artist™
Kris - Loved reading your om interview, also made me realize how much you do behind the scenes with coding and hosting several tours simultaneously. If that wasn’t enough, you also managed omsl. Always great being on call with you, except when you bring moody to a camomons tier shift shared power inverse ffa. I don’t like that.
Lasen - For being
European hella fun in calls, and for not actually blocking me after I couldn't guess your ethnicity for 30 minutes xd. There isn't a better trophy wife in gen 5 ubers on this site rn
motherlove - I’ve been around oms for a long time and have played aaa since gen 6, including many matches against you. Despite this, I don’t think I’ve beaten you once in aaa. Seriously. Can’t find any replays. It was hella fun being on call during aaa tour games and just chatting in general. Top 1 accent in oms.
Nultiprise - I remember passing you teams for stab ssnl before omsl was even announced. I will say that I wish I got to play you sooner for omsl. You prepped really hard for your week 4 game even though it never happened, and you gave UnnerfTalon his only loss in omsl. I appreciate your patience this tour, and your performance was a bonus. You were also a great presence in the discord, and I know you’ll do well in future tours.
Ren - I reached out to you predraft, and we were on the same wavelength for pretty much the entire tour. Great energy, humor, and you helped support multiple tiers. You also gave us our only inverse win with mono shell smash, which was the highlight of the tour imo. All in all, it has been great connecting with you from gen to gen, and seeing you bring alolan-marowak for 3 consecutive weeks.
TectonicDestroyer - I remembered seeing your message on my smog account wanting me to come back. Loved being your teammate on the tyrantrums back in the day, and I knew I wanted to draft you. You definitely didn’t know this tour was a thing until week 3, but when your number was called you showed up in a big way. Was fun supporting you for inheritance. Always fun being on a team with you, and the Thunder also have a billion draft picks so that’s cool.
TheCoastsOfToast - You really got me back into mons for some gen 8 camo commentary even though I never played the tier. SMH. This post is your fault. All jokes aside, I appreciate you for getting me back into mons. I don’t appreciate losing every hackmons cup game despite always having the one counter at lead. Still crazy that you’re one hour behind me zzzz
The Number Man - Was fun talking during stab ssnl post koko bans, also loved being on call during the aaa games. Definitely not surprised that the team you’re managing is in the finals for omsl.
Think - I remember coming back from a long hiatus and seeing “Think” as a room owner. Immediately I was like “Who dis?”. After some time, it dawned on me who you were. Some calls later, and here we are. You keep the om room in check, and do plenty behind the scenes for oms. I’m looking forward to aaapl and seeing you around for tour games in the future.
TTTech - Mr. Mobile. Hello! The only user on this site that’s older than me, yet somehow makes me feel like a geezer. Wish I could’ve helped more for bonus type, and you did get shitty luck during your final bonus type game with rng. Was a fun ride, and you definitely pass the vibe check
UnnerfTalonflame - Although omsl is not over, you have had a great run so far. It’s always fun watching your bo3’s with a plethora of different team structures. I’m glad I got to help you test for omsl, and most importantly go Red Sox !_!
Vrji - Wish I had more 2v2 knowledge, but you clearly didn’t need it. You went undefeated and I couldn’t really ask for more. Always looked forward to seeing your matches each weekend, and best of luck in future tours :D
XxSevagxX - I feel terrible. The Giants lost AND Flores didn’t swing. Unbelievable. But in all seriousness, I definitely loved being on call with you for hours at a time just building, commentating, and everything else. You made stall work in sketch, and also were just an amazing presence throughout. Your runs in omsl, stab ssnl, swiss (so far), and bh have been nothing short of amazing.
Zoaw - Really wish you were more available, I felt as if I was doing a disservice not playing you more. However, I did enjoy seeing your input in the discord and appreciate you attempting to help out despite how busy you are.
I probably missed some people unintentionally, but I don’t feel like typing anymore.
