- This took about a dozen tries, and for getting "good" runs I felt confident saying any account I got to 20-2 from 1000 could make it.
- During this attempt, I started off 24-0. I had a previous attempt that was also promising by starting off 21-0.
- This attempt was made possible by me winning 18 mid-ladder games in a row.
- Two of my losses came within two games of each other.

I found this useful towards the very end, I noticed it was going down by about 0.4 per game so was able to estimate how many more games I had to play in my last few sessions (I was ultimately off by one).
- When I registered this account, there were already non-ADV OU games on it. They were not a very good player though (40 GXE across two formats).
- I got inspired to use this specific team while I was having great success climbing in the ladder tour. I ultimately got my ladder tour account up to a peak of 82 GXE, good practice for this.
