I think xsc should have to win 3 times. We all know xsc wants to prove to everyone he is the best. We should make an acceptation

song:

Was quite a run I had that even I didn’t expect from myself. I went above and beyond what I expected of myself because I didn’t even think I could play swsh. I’d say im still not a top swsh player but I think I can say safely say that I play swsh now. Which was something that I wanted because I wanted to be able to say that I can play every single generation. s/o xsc, you were probably the more deserving winner based on how much my motivation dropped in the past month or so, but I’ll take what I can get.


And with this big win, I’d like to end things on a good note for myself. I’ll be quitting 1v1 for the most part. I’ve played for like 5 years and I can safely say that you get more bored as time goes on. I pretty much have no motivation to play or build 1v1 anymore which is another reason why I think this is a good time for me to quit. I think I can use more time for work, sports, going to the gym, etc. The only tournament that I still enjoy is PL. PL has always been fun and I think I’ll definitely still play it. WC has also been fun, had a lot of good memories on east in the days with TDA and Aidan as captains. Then east got split and things were never really the same, I also lose motivation in the summer I guess. So you may or may not see my in World Cup, we will see. Aside from PL and the possible World Cup, I’ll probably never touch a 1v1 tournament again, or for a very long time. It’s been fun over the past 5 years, but the fun started to run out as time went on and I can no longer say that I’m having much fun, because if I did I would be lieing. So with that, I can safely say that I’m retired for the most part.
i may edit in individual shoutouts later, but for now I think I can cover most of the shoutouts with only 2 shoutouts.
s/o east, most of my favorite times come from playing on east
s/o PB, lots of cool ppl in PB

well I guess that’s it, I’ll see y’all in PL. peace

i'm just disgusted.
All this run .. for nothing. Lt is my fav tournament and i believed it. Well, i had to take risks in finals, and i took too much risks, like this 5th game.
Perhaps i'd keep my motivation if i had won this tour, but now i'm just tired and bored.
I still don't understand how you tanked a full atck adamant wood hammer at 25%. The serie was played on that game. If i had led 2-0 i would probably won and go on the second serie, but it's the game. (i know i haxed game 1) .
Anyway gg, you haven't lose a serie so it's deserved.

Idk if i'll have the motivation to play masters with a good prep. It is really time to change the meta and play gen 9.


Thanks to dom and cleffa hater for help.
