After half a decade of being the Little Cup Tier Leader, it's finally time for me to go to the old-home I belonged in so long ago. I basically grew up with Little Cup and I'm honored to be a part of such a magical community, but it's time for the fresh blood and new faces to step up and make what they want from LC. This truly is a special community and I've been lucky to interact with so, so, many unique people who have changed my perspective, brought joy and laughter, and at times, confused the heck out of me. I'm not going to sit here and write individual shoutouts for people because I know I'd forget someone and I'd feel just awful about that, but just know that you mean the world to me and I cannot thank you enough for growing up with me, living through some of the happiest points in my life, and some of the saddest. I'll still reply to messages and will probably finish up some tours and commitments, but expect a whole lot less out of me moving forward. Love you all, see you real soon.

With the sappy stuff out of the way, I leave you all in the capable hands of tazz! There's not much for me to say about them that you don't already know. He's the best, and I'm sure you'll all recognize how great he is when he spreads his wings.
 
Coco, I've known you since the LFC Skype chat over a decade ago; it would not be an exaggeration to say that we grew up together in this community. That whole time I've had a front row seat to your passion and dedication to this little chunk of the internet that's been a second home for so many of us. I won't pretend we saw eye to eye on everything, but your leadership has been an inspiration to myself and so many others. Happy trails, friend!

Also can't end this post without congratulating tazz, another long-time friend who I know will lead this community ably through whatever comes next.
 
Thanks for handling the playground we call our community when I had my massive meltdown in 2020. I know we've disagreed on decisions in the past but I must say that overall you handled the tier well and that Little Cup is a better metagame and community because of your efforts, and hey, now you don't have to listen to us whine any more! Have fun out there, Coco. Wishing you the best :)

Also hi tazz! Have fun being pestered by everyone!

Bad News: One of my few believers has stepped down, leaving just DVS and freezai. I’m glad you continued seeing something in me long enough to get that LCBC win, even after my dubious efforts in some previous LC teamtours.

Good News: I’ve finally gotten my puppet into the tier leader position.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the “Drifting era” of Little Cup.
 
So many sad things today, I wish all this were an April fools'...
Coco, thank you so much for everything you've done for Little Cup in the past years. I don't know that many tier leaders, but I find it hard to imagine one more devoted to their tier than you. I will be forever grateful for your care and dedication for the tier I consider home, for the personal sacrifices you must have made for it, and for your kindness to me personally despite how hard I can be to deal with at times.
Wish you the best moving forward, and may your legacy live on! <3
