Feels really unfortunate that we got eliminated so early, because I do believe this team has the strongest players all around, but we took a little bit too long to find the optimal lineup for the team, which led us to not being able to recover the early weeks, despite demolishing the later half with 3 wins in 4 weeks. Aside from that, since I believe it is the first official tour for most, I believe a shoutout post is more than deserved to recognize everybody's efforts througout the tournament.
Massive congratulations for the Dreamchasers, Vespiqueens, Titans and Chimchars, and I hope we have a sick as fuck playoffs season!
KillaLeston getting you for 7k was honestly one of the craziest things this tour. I knew Cup playoffs player would have a great time in this tour and you did not disappoint, your record is an attestment to that. It was a blast teaming up with you, stick around in Mono and you will soar really really high!
Otak'out You were one of our INEGOTIABLE locks in our draft. One of the best chat presences of the entire community, hard-working, always willing to test and check up on your teammates, an EXCELLENT clicker and with good building ideas as well... you are just a model teammate, Otaku. And sometimes I think you still don't know how good you are. Once you start to gather a bit more of confidence in yourself, I 100% can see you as a top level player in a very near future and I hope I am still around to root and cheer for you <3
ComputerWhiz I feel like one of our biggest blunders in the lineup planning was not slotting you in SV sooner, and for that I can't help but feel responsible and sorry for you. Regarding of that, I was always confident on your clicking and once you switched up to current gen, you really delivered and clutched for us in the times we needed the most! I hope you had a fun tour, and if you intend to stick around for more mono tournaments, I'd be more than happy to team up with you once again!
Mom Lover The most epic name of the team with also the most epic ATTITUDE. The fact that you were so confident in so many weeks really let us comfortable enough to pass you solid teams and that you would know what to do with them and you mostly delivered. The games you lost were due to near-impossible matchups, and for that I take responsibility and apologize. Amazing chat presence as well, I really hope we team up again!
Manan999 We already talked a lot in DMs but long story short, it's hard to control nerves in a team tour like this and EVERYONE has been in that place before, nobody started playing like a god. Outstanding players also have bad tours and don't let this make you doubt of your own capabilities, because you are a GREAT player, thats why we picked you in the first place :) Best of luck in future tours and count on me for anything you need
Vlarcheops I knew how enthusiastic you were about this tournament and I honestly hope you learned a lot and had a lot of fun with the gang. Keep up with this passionate attitude, always willing to learn, and I can see you going REALLY far ;)
ImprobableBlob CaptainDaimyo guys, even though you didn't have the best record, you guys were always willing to test and step up whenever we needed, I am extremely grateful for having picked you two, I am sorry for not slotting you more frequently and I hope you had a good time!
style.css , after all these years, what can I POSSIBLY say to you that it wasn't already said a million times before? Idk, thanks for being around and being my best friend?
Mihowk I think I told you this, I wasn't really considering signing up to manage in this tour because I honestly never felt like I had what it takes in terms of building support, scouting and etc. And then you invited me and I told you all this... and you said that it didn't matter because you only just wanted to work with me... how could I possibly say no to that 
Thank you so much for believing and trusting me, I think we did an excellent job inside of our capacities and everyone in the team had a great time. You are an EXCELLENT player, and now I can say you are an excellent manager and someone who I respect even more than before!

i figured i'd drop shoutouts when the week ends, but as far as timezones go i'll probably be fast asleep. so this is happening sooner:
to begin with, i'd like to thank boomp and Sificon for giving me the opportunity to manage this tour. as many of you know, this was my first time managing a tour, and while it didn't go as well as i'd have hoped, it was still a wonderful and mind-opening experience, and i had a ton of fun managing 16 glorps. i remember getting a lot of criticism for my draft, since my bench was as big as my starters; however, i have no regrets with my draft. we had a rough season but it was filled with great conversations and fantastic company, and i hope to get to team up with these guys in more tours down the line.
once again, thank you guys for making my first managing experience truly extraordinary. i had a great time, and the next time we team up, we're gonna win.

RoyalReloaded thank you for agreeing to manage with me. i had an incredible time drafting with you and experiencing a rollercoaster of hope and despair throughout these 7 weeks. i could not have asked for a better partner for this tour, and while we couldn't get some of our friends on our team, i'm really glad that we got to make some new ones together. in a managerial capacity, you are a great decision maker and you give a ton of opportunities to newer players, i hope to manage again with you sometime. but next time we're going with my team name LOL, and next time we'll be on top of the table. you'll see.
autumn i remember when you tried out for glorps with me, your dedication to participate in this tour was enough for me to get you. royal had a similar opinion:
i'm really glad we got to team up, i had a great time building teams and testing them with you. as far as i recall, you're the only player who played all 7 weeks (well you're yet to play this one but you're slotted in), but i can safely say that you're one of our most reliable sv slots, and i can always count on you to put on a good show. i hope my managing and building skills were up to the mark because i think this team-up caused both of us to improve in various areas.
Tack our permanent bw resident, it was a joy getting to play this tour with you. you helped bag the first win ever in the first mfpl ever, consequently making history, and your chat presence was incredible. the games you played truly defined the power of the matriarch, i really hope we get to play some other tour again. i'm sure we'll kick some ass.
Uta The Clown we slotted you week 2 onwards and that was our biggest tactical error. you're starter material and you played some fantastic games. getting wins with rock and electric, you showcased your building and playing progress, and i think you showed that you're an ideal teammate with your activity in the cord and your helpfulness throughout the tour. our original plan was to obviously start you, but since we ended up getting 16 players we figured we'd experiment with our lineup week 1. but come week 2, you won your game vs esword and cemented ur place on the lineup. wonderful experience managing you
shieldpoke ended up with one of the best records on our team, we initially sniped you from the dreamchasers. sasha had me worried you'd be inactive but once we slotted you in, you started becoming active in some of our conversations, and you played a strong game. i hope we provided a great environment for you, both conversation wise and game wise, it was a pleasure getting to know you. you're the resident scheduling genius, as was evidenced by the week 6 dg which was a true scheduling masterstroke (for legal reasons this is a joke, it was indeliberate)
PrinceOfAllTacos while we couldnt give you the best run, you are still hands down the most reliable sub player we got. always around when we need you, always cheering on our players and never once did you show any despair. you were a true joy to have on the glorps; truthfully you were not on our draft plan, but im glad we got you. because without our resident cheerleader, the team would be incomplete.
Dead by Daylight this was your first team tour i think(?) great time managing u, i hope u put ur name out there because u have got immense potential both as a builder and as a player. u were truly a reliable sv slot once we slotted you in week 2. we knew a mainer would perform spectacularly and while it took a few rounds for you to leave the nest, you eventually started owning the sv pool. we're teamed up again for hpl so i'm glad i got the opportunity to manage u again. lets win some more games shall we
LordWaniel we wanted to pick you up during the initial draft but boy did we miss out. despite that, you joined us as support and you showed your keen insights into sv mono and you were extremely helpful with tests. so, when our oras got banned, we decided not to make the same error again and we instantly got you. while you may not have had the best run, i am confident in your ability to master this tier. if we had played for longer, i'm sure you'd end up with a positive record. let's team up again sometime and show this sv pool who's boss.
dex Bka Onon thanks for carrying the ss slot guys. initially dex was supposed to be a permanent ss slot, but we wanted to give every player a chance to play, and so we slotted onion in. dex continued to support the ss slot once onion was in, which i greatly appreciate. you both put up a great show, your games were very entertaining and you guys were extremely self-sufficient when it came to building and tests. it definitely helped reduce our workload as managers, because you guys proved to be very reliable in your domain, and i always knew deep down that if i slotted either of you in ss, we'd clutch a win.
Seraphz you were another player we sniped from dreamchasers due to our unforgivably large amount of credits during the final parts of the draft. we initially wanted you to play sv, but after our oras got banned, we slotted you there and you got us a win. im glad i got to know you, even if it was just a little bit. wish we had the opportunity to slot you in more, but we did have 16 players and despite that you were there for us when we needed an oras slot after that unexpected ban. hopefully we get to play together again sometime, i'd love to get to know you more.
Lizzie thank you for stepping in at the perfect time during week 5, your presence was clutch and we marginally avoided an activity win. i wish we couldve gotten to interact a lot more, because you seem like a fantastic player but truthfully its because our ps usernames match lmao. jokes aside, hope monotype was alright for u, maybe if we team up again down the line, be it uu or mono, i feel like we can kick some ass.
justdrew i know you were busy with irl stuff, otherwise i just know you'd be talking a lot. i feel like you'd have enjoyed the glorps environment, as i hope u did the one time we had an extensive conversation (which ended up to be quite informative for me LOL). gl with your future endeavors man, ur gonna do excellent.
Wadley thanks for joining us, we tried to give every player an opportunity to play but i apologize for not letting you out on the field more. hope monotype was a decent experience for you. next time we play for asia together, we're gonna win all our games.
lyoneese Fylkir Pudin fylkir you were probably the only player who didnt get to play, we did slot you in one of the weeks but you had an emergency after which we didnt really get an opportunity to put you in. apologies for that. lyon got to play one week but you dipped from the discord after that so umm.. awkward. regardless, thanks for being a part of the team.
1yr ok ur banned how tf did that even happen we were gonna kick ass in oras bro..

Murphy Lawden AhmedxWaleed a BIG shoutout to both of you for being the most active support of all time, always available for tests and insights on teams. thank you guys so much for being a part of the glorps, you guys are the saviors of our team. without you guys, the chat wouldnt be half as active as it was, and even though you werent part of the official roster, you guys are top tier glorps. i hope i get to draft and play alongside you if i get to manage more tours down the line because your activity, your passion, and your enthusiasm was exemplary.
once again, thank you guys for making my first managing experience truly extraordinary. i had a great time, and the next time we team up, we're gonna win.
