this entire pl felt like a double-edged sword. on one hand, i'm incredibly glad i even got considered to get drafted, and i got the chance to play and make some good friends thanks to this. but on the other hand i got incredibly ill and burnt out and controversies stirred up and stuff, it was a bit too much, but i endured it because i really love this community and the people that surround it.
i'm thankful for everyone that has helped me make it this far, which i will shout-out of course, and i'm glad i get to write this post as well, it feels like a dream fr.

w1: it began
very excited to begin my pl series but i was playing against someone i already lost so my chances weren't high, still not happy about that bax miss
w2: first win
marsh and i had a "friendly rivalry" of sorts before the pl started so was really fun and hype imo (only game that went to 5)
w3: cold breeze
at this point is where it started to feel a bit like a chore, but i won anyway for some reason i don't remember, also was my debut in mopo which is kinda fun
w4: wait what the hell am i even doing
honestly my memories of this week are extremely fuzzy, this was the beginning of me losing against every single random in sv because i have no way of predicting their clicking (and also sv sucks)
w5: i thought this guy was supposed to be good at the game?
idk how i beat him in 3 but i sure did, i'll just say someone had something to say about it as well
w6: crumbling
never stood a chance against the beast that is delemon building, but with already being tired of the weekly loop and some shit that happened, this really burned me out
w7: benched
i really couldn't bring myself to play, i needed to stay out for at least a week, i just couldn't keep going. at least mopo was cool
semis: last ditch effort
i don't know man, my opp showed up 30 minutes after the match was supposed to start and i brought krookodile, felt devastating to lose after i got toyed around with scheduling and me already being super burnt out.
overall record: 3-4 (2-1 mopo)

Elo Bandit you're the goat man i don't even know what to say, you were a great help to the team and you pretty much taught me how to play the game, i wouldn't be anywhere without you and i really appreciate all of your help.
Murman while not as influential on me as bandit, you were still great, due to actively being able to help nearly every slot and bringing a lot of new ideas to the table, you were an irreplaceable teammate.
Lumii i didn't really know you that well until pl tbf, the most contact we had was in ogpl but i didn't help in bw, you're an amazing player regardless of what you might think, going 8-0 isn't an easy feat, especially for playing sv7 for almost the whole tour, we wouldn't have been able to make it this far without you, i wish you good luck with life.
Urfgurgle like murm, you were able to provide assistance in every slot in the tour, and while your season was a bit rough, you were still an invaluable person to have around.
(gneiss guy)
Itchy pues no sé que decirte, fuiste una de las personas que fue más amable conmigo, y me encantó tenerte en rhyps, también pudiendo ser capaz de ayudar en otros tiers, capaz nos veremos en la copa mundial si termino en south.
Close the vibe you brought to the team was unlike any other, constantly cheering us on, being a fantastic player as always, and helping with ss and sm whenever possible, some really good stuff, thanks for being there.
Career Ended you were there when we needed you the most, and the wins you got were one of the hypest moments of the season, barras fear you now.
Blurmpt you + urf were an amazing team in ss5, and you were overall just nice to have around, i'm sorry for what happened to you during semis though, i hope it gets resolved soon.
Roginald good teammate, didn't really get a chance to talk with you much, but you played your games well, good luck in world cup of randbats.
rumia i need to finish watching breaking bad and i will tell you all about it when i'm done (the monopoke channel was filled with breaking bad and nothing else cuz i started watching it).
Lucario you were kinda there tbh, i'm sorry that zapdos is a b-tier mon :(
thanks to the supporters as well, specially Waylaid Eeveekid10 you guys were great help for semis.

bea Fancy1 shadowtime2000 Slip you guys and so many people that i met through PL, y'all are great and i hope we stay in contact for as long as possible, thanks guys <3
LRXC i've said this before but you introduced me to 1v1 man, it's crazy how 2 years go through, you're one of my best friends in 1v1, and just an amazing person in general, idk what would've been of me without you, pancham power!
DripLegend another thwackeys shout-out woo! anyway similar to logan you also helped me with a ton of stuff fr, you introduced me to sv 1v1, which depending on who you ask might be a blessing or a curse, and you also suggested to me to join rhypscord as supporter, which is the entire reason why i'm even here, i owe you a lot man (also thank you for helping whenever i doubted myself, you're awesome).
stravench specifically avoided mentioning you when i was talking about supporters, and that's cuz you deserve your own, you're probably my best friend in all of 1v1, and you were always there when i needed you most, thank you so much for your invaluable help in semis, even though i didn't win it, but we tried our best and were able to put up a fight against the unstoppable wall of leru, thank you for everything.
The2009Zapdos happy birthday.
