Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am family guy
Overall thoughts: The tour was kinda aiiiiight. I was happy for my performance personally, getting a positive record and generally using some pretty creative teams. I agree with some of the complaints brought up above, I am not too into the technical aspects of the tour so I can't comment on that too much myself but, I do think it's a noticeable problem when a majority of my players (and most players in general) are complaining about the format of the tour from like week 2 or 3. I know UPL is a classic and hard to compete with but clearly this format needs some more hashing out.
QUICK SHOUTOUTS
byronthewellwell you are the GOAT dude, still can't believe you beat astounded round 1, that was one of the wildest games I've seen in awhile, hmu if you ever need SS advice/teams
iry YOU ARE THE MAN. Honestly one of the best players I've ever had the pleasure of working with, also you're really fucking funny lmao, hope we can work together again one of these UPLs or something
Tomahawk the GOAT of DPP, even while you may think that you need to work on your endgame, just keep in mind pretty much all of your losses this tour was due to bad luck lol. If you want to try branching out to SS again let me know anytime! Also you are unreal nice and your motivation to test and help out through the whole tour was awesome
Peli u lil fat bitch
MZ I didn't know you before drafting, but some players made it sound like you were a big risk, I took terra's word on you and I'm not disappointed with the results. Your games were always wild for sure which was awesome haha
Punny IoSonoNeon I'll be honest I drafted you guys because terra wanted Italians LOL. I know you guys had some bad times with the early gens in the beginning of the tour but I am glad my SS building ended up being solid enough to get you guys some Ws there. HMU for SS ubers stuff anytime
The Dovahneer I know the timing of the tour was rough on you bro, it seemed like you kinda checked out for most of your games, won't hold it against you too much because AT LEAST YOU PLAYED COUGH COUGH
Luna's Banned now JT Yao Lets be honest, this was a rough tour for you guys, but I drafted you guys because I think you both have potential. My first team tour didn't exactly go great for me either, so I don't want you guys to get discouraged at all, you learn a lot the more and more you do. I know for me I learned a shitton between last year's MW and then UPL, it was a world of difference.
BasedWhat? thnx for the help during the tour bro, I'd think you'd be pretty solid in tours if you can get fucking motivated and not run Custap Ferrothorn LOL
LucosDICampos thanks for helping us out on the one ORAS game we had for the whole tour haha. Mainly I think it was funny being able to snag you away from Lasen's team thanks to my japanese knowledge.
Terracotta THE KING. unbeatable when he decides to actually try playing. Me managing was entirely an idea on terra's part just so that he could assman lmao.
Also to everyone who hit me up before the draft asking to be part of my team ( SiTuM!!!!, I think Lauriane, Iggy, ara, and some others), I LOVE YOU ALL! The draft format ended up being pretty restrictive so I wasn't able to get everyone I wanted for sure. Mr.378 Astounded were also two GOATS I wanted but wasn't able to get to in time with the draft order, and people who I'm great friends with. Daniel and Reje, team tours arent as fun when I don't have you guys to drunk ramble with lmao.
For those wondering, besides an exception or two most of the draft was essentially done by Terra, because he is more familiar with the player base than I am, especially for old gens. remember that I basically didn't become a more well-known name on smogon until SS came out last year.
This tour was my first managing experience but overall it wasn't bad at all and I'd like to manage again sometime.
