Tournament BLT IX: 'Best Leaderboarders' Tournament ($2000 + custom avatar prize pool)!

The final decision regarding the situation around this replay has been made; me and Tranquility have decided that SpookyZ will be banned from the current iteration of BLT, as there is beyond a shadow of a doubt they were made aware of what team their opponent was going to load, could accordingly bring a team that auto-wins the game for them and knew they were at fault. This allows the Majestic Milotics to sell back their player and purchase one from the undrafted pool in return. The match correspondingly becomes a dead game.
On the other hand, QWILY will not be banned from this iteration of our annual team tour, as there is no way they can be proven guilty of passing SpookyZ the team that was used against airfare during the match. As there is reason to the Solaceon Solgaleos to strongly believe QWILY was indeed in the wrong, and this has caused friction between them, they will be allowed to drop their player.

Let's hope this was the final bit of drama this season of BLT and may we enjoy the last few, exciting weeks of the tournament. Good luck to all teams for making playoffs!

With our season basically on ice at this point, I wanted to very quickly shoutout my managers blce and GXE. I don't post usually at the end of tours, but I felt this circumstance warranted it. I can confidently say this was one of the best team environments I have been a part of throughout my time on smogon. Despite our extremely subpar performance in most weeks, the vibes in the discord were absolutely immaculate with GXE and eri being extremely supportive and overall fun people to team with. Made a bunch of good friends during this tour so despite the losing week in and week out it was a very worthwhile experience.

Much love and see you all next year.

Brumirage for making our absolutely INSANE logo


i hate this guy:

GXE you are LITERALLY the WORST person i have EVER had the DISPLEASURE OF MEETING. bet you can hear me say that with that exact emphasis. good. all i want to do is ruin your life and annoy you. you deserve it for making me solo draft. you deserve to have your insane blt record tarnished (we'll do better next year).
jokes aside you are literally my favourite person on this site, my life would not be the same without you and you are without a doubt my best friend. it's awesome that we met from last year's blt, and now we've managed another iteration of this same tour together. between us managers, you absolutely carried the mons side of this team, thanks for covering for me in that regard. i've known you for two days over a year now but it's been such a wonderful year knowing you and being your friend, thank you so much for everything from being insane at mons to literally just being one of the kindest, greatest people i've ever met. i appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

I have procrastinated doing shoutouts for like three weeks now but Blce is making me. POS.

TO THE VISHES: we sucked, quite frankly. The season can be summed up using words like: sad, atrocious, embarrassing, quite frankly a stain on my long and prosperous legacy. No amount of words can quite express my sheer disappointment in this failure of an institution. JOKES ASIDE I had a really great time, our team was incredibly fun and def one of the cooler ones I've been apart of. Everyone was willing to work and try in their games, and the chat was always fun. Doesn't always come tgt but that's just how mons be sometimes.

Individual Shoutouts
Z strats- naw.
Clean- ....
Acehunter1- You're an incredibly talented lc player and absolutely one of the best of this gen. I know you would've hoped for a better tour but I would've hoped your timer had the capability of staying above 1.2 seconds milliseconds so we don't always get what we want. IM SORRY UR SUPER COOL AND HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE ON THIS SITE IF U KEEP PLAYING, i fw ur vids and hope we can team again
Crucify- You did better in spl. It's ok, I did better in NUPL. BLT is the peak of all tours, one day we will climb this valley to a better place. You're hella cool as a person and a great player, would love to team again sometime. You covered all the tiers really well and went where we needed when we needed, and helped out like- eveywhere. tysm my dude
Dugza- You're an incredible player and def the MVP for us this tour. You would have been undefeated if I didn't give you terrible EVS that one game so sorry for that again. You were an absolute steal for 10k, and someone I want to team up again w soon. It's been fun working with you on some teams even after this tour is over, can't wait to see you take over all the lower tiers pretty soon. (Go win nult btw)
Leru- Go peddle your waifus elsewhere you degenerate mf. What an absolute displeasure it was watching you pretend to play a game w a fake team since day 1 and scaring the life out of me. Honestly when we drafted you I thought you'd not give a crap and was slightly unsure how it would go, but you're really a funny and great person to talk to, and even carried us in a tier you didn't really wanna play, so ty a lot. Would draft again anytime
Drud- Appreciate you covering PU for the early weeks, I know some stuff went down in chat you weren't so happy ab so wish things could have been different, keep bein a great player though.
Kaguya Lys- Coming into this tour I knew you were a mono player I wanted and def no regrets here. I'm sure you would've liked to change some of the results yourself but you're still a really really good player, next time we getting only baller matchups fr.
Heni-san- YOURE SO FUNNY and super cool, it was cool getting to know you over the course of this short tour. You really put in some time with the meta and were definitely doing well with it by the end, glad we could team up mate.
Revenge Killer- One of my many regrets this tour is definitely not slotting you in RU earlier to free up some other slots. You're a really really good player inside and outside of RU (keep killin the start of OLT), and def have a bright future in the tours you play in. Also a cool chat presence, 100% would draft again.
Xrn- I absolutely knew you had the potential to go in this tour and you did not let me down. You're a really really talented player in a lot of tiers, and fun to talk to as well. You're a great team presence, player, and I could say a lot of nice things about you. Hope you see a lot of success in the future my dude, best 4k steal of this entire tour. I dislike you for making me confuse Nicks, though.
Richard Pepper- You're one of the OG BLT'ers/tours room players from when I started so I'm glad we had the chance to team up this once. Thanks for filling in when you needed to, even in some situations that were definitely not ideal.
Pi- Someone I also knew from before BLT, a bit through draft leagues. You're a good player, also thrown into some non-ideal situations so thanks for filling in when we needed it.
Z strats- YOU ARE THE MOST ANNOYING- CAN YOU JUST USE A REAL TEAM FOR ONCE GOD. AND LIKE. IF YOURE GOING TO USE THESE UNVIABLE BAD MONS CAN YOU AT LEAST LOSE MORE SO I CAN BE MAD ABOUT IT. How are you going to go even. Like. I cant be mad at a player for having an even record when most of the others are negative, yet, YOU ARE SO ANNOING OMG. I never want to see you ever again. Goodbye. ...thanks for being one of my best friends on the site and talking in and out of BLT. One of my fav people, and an awesome DOU player at that, go try to win osdt to make up for whatever this was.
Clean- ....
Clean
- GOD FINE. NICK YOU ARE SO ANNNNNNNOYING. The only thing clean about you was your losing record for the first like three weeks. How are you going to be a weeb and make me question my very existence, like pick a struggle. One day I will have my revenge when you draft me instead of vise-versa, bc god knows never again. ...................................FINE. You were a very cool teammate and someone who will def be a friend on this site going forward. You're like...pretty good at pokemon sometimes ig, maybe with a few centuries of long work you'll be able to beat me in a test game without luck. Thanks for being a very cool part of this team.
Joey- You were as big a part of this team as anyone else. Thanks for being any honorary co-co-manager and filling it when needed. It was a busy season for me and Blce and it would've been hard to do it without you. Super cool dude as well


Blce- Aaaaaa my co-man. Partner-in-crime. Enemy. Foe. Adversary. Nemeis. You make clean and z's irritating nature look like a pebble in the grand canyon. You make a phone charger that won't charge a phone except at a certain angle look like the greatest pleasure in life. I- You're just the worst person probably to ever do it but idk. You know the thing? You have everyone fooled. I bet 90% of people who read this will be like- blce? you mean...that blce? The super nice, funny, caring person who should have been tours plaza voice but never got it? Yea, that's the one. You've pulled a blind over everyone's eyes but I here alone see the truth. Setting aside the fact that you may be the ™Worst Person Of All Time, you are a very awesome co-manager. You keep the team spirit alive better than anyone to ever do it, and you're never short on energy or motivation. If you ask everyone on our team what they thought, I think the vast majority had a really good time, and you're 100% the biggest reason for that. I can help out with teams and tests but you're the type of co-manager everyone needs to keep a team environment going which is honestly 90% of the battle. I'm glad your first BLT (you managed) was one we managed tgt, I definitely would not have allowed you to manage with someone terrible like clean or z strats. You're my best friend on this site and you drafted one hell of a team, I would not change a thing. Next year we are bringing home that One Piece custom, though. It's been one hell of a year, thank you so much for everything

Support (Chlo, TKK, Rumia, Lph, Ainz, anyone else I'm forgetting atm sorry)- Thank you all so much for the help this year, it's always a team effort and you guys were all a part of it. Appreciate the help/activity/everything y'all provided fr

Hosts- You guys never have an easy job, thanks for putting in the time during a lot of non clear-cut situations

We genuinely had such a cool team and with a little different luck I know this was the right squad, just wrong timing. Sorry I let y'all down with my personal record as well, next year gon be some type of undefeated run though. Look forward to more in the future y'all :)

i forgot tags so: Z Strats clean Acehunter1 crucify DugZa Leru blce Drud Kaguya Lys Heni-san Revenge Killer Xrn RichardPepper fabwooloo rumia avyrie chlo TheKingKarp Ainzcrad
