i'll be making a separate post for the final gulchdicts, just wanted to post the shoutouts and all
this pupl meant a lot to me. i think we had a really good chance to take it all but at the end of the day the game said no :( i hope you were all satisfied with the experience you had and i hope you're all satisfied with my performance as a manager. truly speaking i'd run it back with this exact roster any time, being with you all was a joy and i hope we see each other again sometime!
Ampha thank you for managing with me! getting to run this tour with a friend definitely took off some of the nerves and seeing you perform felt super rewarding, especially for those first three weeks where i cooked your teams. i'm glad you got to go positive in the end and really do hope your SCL dreams come true. even if we end up on opposing teams i'll be rooting for you!
S1nn0hC0nfirm3d you're a huge fucking troll but you know your shit and you did your best and that's all i can ask for. i appreciate you helping me through some mental blocks with teambuilding even if you didn't realize your influence, i think my teambuilding would have suffered a lot this tour if i didn't have to bear witness to your shitmon of the week. going into this draft you were the big ticket item we wanted and being able to secure you really boosted our confidence as far as filling out the rest of the roster. go farm SCL again champ.
OranBerryBlissey10 proved all the haters wrong :) thank you for giving your all in the hellscape that is SSPU, i know that shit isn't easy and getting punked by terrain is the most demoralizing shit ever, and yet you still did great and provided like three other people with teams? idk how you do it man. don't rough yourself up too bad about the loss in semis, it could have been anyone and we shouldn't have been as tight up against the wall as we were anyway. we woulda slotted you in bo3 if we went to tb btw LOL
HSOWA i think this was our first time teaming together? everyone i told about the draft plan pretty much had the same thing to say which was that you were pretty cool (and they were right!), you were the other big ticket item we had planned and again i'm very glad we managed to pick you up. i know you're probably not super happy with how you did this year but it was a lot closer than the numbers say it was and some of it was admittedly my fault (like saying jabba was gonna lead machoke and getting you ct'd). don't be a stranger!
feen i didnt know who you were like 2 months ago and then we were in like a million different team tours together LOL, funny how that happens! you're a v cool guy and i hope you're happy with your record this season, you gave it your all jumping into an unfamiliar tier and did well against some really strong contenders. proud of you and hope we get to run it back soon!
Tack idk what i can really say to you i haven't said before, you're always great to team with and i'm glad you managed to do well despite some really unfortunate games (the fact that you could have very realistically been 7-1 is pretty insane). i don't think i laughed harder all season than when i told you sergio was probably cooking for lax and you just said "don't worry i got this" and proceeded to absolutely bodybag him because your intuition was 100% right. the fact that we managed to get you for 7k was probably one of the biggest highlights of the draft for me personally and i hope whatever comes next for you is more fruitful than this was.
plznostep cooking and testing with you made me fall in love with ADV PU all over again, and i'm very proud of how you did this season. took some really big names and (from what i can see) really managed to break out of your teambuilding rut that you said you had fallen into in ADVPL. we had originally wanted broth and it had become very clear early on that we were likely going to have to settle considering the money we spent on ho3n and hsowa. looking back? wouldn't change it for the world.
Scarf Kricketune my biggest regret this tour is that we didn't get you more game time, especially when we very realistically could have. however, you did super well in the one game you played and went undefeated, so there's something! you were still a huge benefit to the team though, getting you for 7k was an absolute steal and you gave us everything you had with cooking and testing. to any prospective SCL management who might be reading this post and cares about my opinion: BUY THIS GUY. he's goated. you will never need another PU support again i promise. i know you've got a bright future as a starter next year and even if it isn't with the snatchers i'll be glad to see it
sugar ovens THE HEAT IS IN THE OVEN. i hope you're satisfied with how your season went, being the best regular season record on its own is a massive accomplishment. picking you up for 6k was a massive steal (i don't care that you feel otherwise) and you were a huge carry for us throughout the season. i don't think it's really any secret that you're the first person on this roster that i'd consider for a retain.
Suzuya i'm so sorry we had to throw you into Bo3 jail brother :( the sheet tells a different story but you gave us your all every single week and that's what matters. you're still the goat and i don't regret my decision even if it didn't turn out so well in the end. hopefully you get to play for a team that can really utilize your talents next year! still, your energy was infectious, you were everyone on this team's biggest hype man and you don't have the season we did without someone like that. love u always <3
Fragments i could really just sum up this shoutout by posting the superman gif. sorry that the only game you got was Bo3 and us sacrificing you to mence, but you still did well and in another world you definitely had a shot at winning that series. you're a really fun guy to have around and just insanely versatile, kinda shocked that this is the first time we've teamed but definitely hoping it won't be the last
Alice Kazumi you should have gone 5-3 at the very least but you ended up being like an effigy for all of our bad luck :( i really hope that the way things look on the sheet doesn't end up putting people off from drafting you in the future, your wins were good and you definitely could have at least broken even if it weren't for the literal less than 1% chance for everything to go wrong in semis. you're always a huge ray of sunshine and one of the team's biggest cheerleaders and i'd gladly play any tour with you again.
Ming549 dude, where do i even start? the amount of lifting you did for this team is insane and i'm really sad we only managed to get you one game. scouts, keeping up with the schedule, testing, cooking (even if a lot of it was crack), the list goes on. you're always full of energy and the biggest believer in everyone and it really came out in this tour. like i said for suzuya, you've always gotta have someone who's everybody's biggest hype man, and you brought that in spades. between the two of you and alice it was genuinely impossible to let morale slip and i think that's a huge reason we managed to get as far as we did <3
big tony 2014 couldn't make a snatchers shoutout post without you big dawg. i think everyone on the team agrees that if we were still allowed to let helpers get access to the custom, you would have been walking away with one had we taken it all. your energy was infectious and you were always giving input and helping out with SV, which was so much more than i could have asked from someone who, by the sheet, was literally not on the team (if i had seen the video you would have been). even if your contributions may be lost to the tides of history, i'm sure we'll all remember that you were the heart and soul of this team. BIG TONY FOR SCL
sufys sad your first PUPL ended up sucking this bad, but in a way i'm happy it meant we got to pick you up for support. we only had you for like a week and you were working overtime checking up on our SV builds and keeping up with games, and that's crazy. i know you said you didn't help other slots much while the stoners were still in, but i find it hard to believe seeing how you acted with us. even then, 3-4 while being totally self sufficient is a decent debut season, and i don't doubt at all that there's a place on a SCL roster out there waiting for you.
Baloor i'm ngl i thought you were kinda a jackass before we really started talking to each other but i was definitely wrong. just a silly goofy guy. i don't think i ever really said this, but it meant a lot to me that you came to me for tests and input on all of your teams throughout the season, and that was definitely a factor that helped to keep me inspired for the season. your teamdump was also definitely a help for semis even if we did crash and burn, so thank you for that too. ACCEPT MY FRIEND REQUEST ON DISCORD ASSHOLE.
fish anemometer also gotta shout my pu cast co-host of course, thank you for testing with ampha and being honest and telling me when my teams were shit. casting with you and talking shit about predicts was really fun, would definitely do it again. maybe one of these days we'll end up on the same team!
have fun reading umineko!
jawabarat we let you out of the retirement home just for shitposts and keeping me up to date on posting qotw threads. unfortunately i did not get the custom so your sacrifice is still pending.
MZ for being my partner in crime on predicts, idk how you got faster than me but our rivalry will continue for ages
Miyoko LpZ thank you both for your support! even if it wasn't too terribly much, it meant a lot. good luck in your future endeavors! lpz, i totally think you can win slam.
insanely grateful to be given this opportunity, genuinely the most pride i've had in anything i've done here and i loved every second.
and one last time: VAMOS SNATCHERS
WE WILL BE BACK.
vs
