And with that, I've won the BW Cup and obtained the third seed in playoffs!!!!
I'm amazed at how far I've come and am exuberant to have won this cup and to have gotten third seed in playoffs. Ever since I got into 1v1 about half a year ago, I really really wanted to become a great player and win a Smogon tournament. After doing poorly in the first three 1v1 tours I joined, I felt even more encouraged to try even harder to become a good player and be up there with all of you. Thank you to the 1v1 community for inspiring me to try so hard. I've spent a
LOT of time working on teams and learning the old gen metas and it has paid off.
I'd like to give a huge shoutout to
smely socks for helping me test my teams all these rounds. Without all of that practice, I'm sure I would've lost this cup towards the start. Thank you so much for all of your help; I've improved so much thanks to you.
I'd also like to give a shoutout to
doc1203 for predicting me to lose... every single round... of every single cup lol. Your absolute lack of confidence in me has helped push me to work harder on making teams and learning the classic metas to try to become a better player that people will think more highly of. I think I've accomplished that by winning BW Cup and making 3rd seed, and I am really looking forward to trying my best in playoffs, which I am honored to be in.
To conclude my
lengthy speech post, I would like to encourage everyone to follow their dreams, whatever they are (Pokemon related or not). With enough effort, anything is achieveable. I've put so much effort into old gens of 1v1 and have achived my dream, which just goes to show that all of you can achieve your dreams too, no matter what they are. I hope you take my accomplishments as inspiration. I've been inspired by all of you to make it this far, and now I hope to give some inspiration to all of you in return. Thank you to everyone, and onto playoffs!
