Team MPL X - Commencement

[Rex The Eater Of Worlds]

Congrats Meloettas! Y'all had the craziest season, so I'm glad y'all won.
However, now that MPL has ended, the time has come to thank literally only one person (at least directly).

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who participated in MPL. I wasn't involved in any of the games, but it sure as hell was fun to watch and learn about so many good players. Whether I caught the games live or not, they were all entertaining to watch.

maroon, thanks for giving me the opportunity to make the banner for MPL. Without that opportunity, I wouldn't have been introduced to all the cool folks in the wider monotype community, also meaning my interest for regular mono wouldn't have appeared (if that's even the right word). That banner also gave me a massive confidence boost which will no doubt help later on in my art career.

Anways, cya next MPL, guys! (Also best of luck to anyone playing in MFPL!)

Very interesting first MPL. Congrats to the Meloettas winning. Once again, I fail to deliver when it matters most but I had a fun time. From a playing perspective, I always knew post-game where I went wrong with my losses and if I had to repeat my games, I would make sure to win all of them.


Isza Sabella thanks for drafting me. We teamed up from the previous MWP and that was also a good tour for us despite being knocked out in semis. Apologies I couldn't perform as well as I did back then but I'm satisfied to have played at a higher level and you guys gave me that opportunity to do so. One thing I will note is that the team atmosphere was always great and it had been a long time since I was in a team tour that made me feel that way.

style.css Myself and the team appreciated all the testing, all the activity throughout this tour. If anything, I wish we won to reward your dedication but hopefully, you'll have many more opportunities to do so.

Tarre25 Mimilucha yedla JeoZ Despite PR and probably others thinking we weren't the shit at SV, I would like to say we slightly proved them wrong. Our records may not be as good as we wanted but we still made it 2nd place so that's something we can take.

roxie your help in SV was also appreciated

3d we hadn't teamed in anything prior to this but nice teaming with you.

Same to you Gondra


See you all later

My first MPL, and boy what an MPL it was. I thought i would go unpicked or picked up by a different Team. Toadow and i never talked before and while Cielau and i got along, i did not expect to be picked up by him. So here are my Shoutouts:
Cielau Toadow you two first of all, for allowing me to participate in this fairy tale type story. Losing week 1,tieing most of the weeks after, just to BARELY make playoffs and win the Tour? had to keep the hype up i guess? Thank you two for giving me a chance to participate, for taking the gamble on me. You two have been nothing but kind and respecting. Especially Cielau, thank you for the insane amount of Prepwork you did with me to get me to play at a okay enough level to win more games than lose. And a double down thank you for letting me play every single week. Even after i lost back to back, or eafter i made bad calls, you didn't bench me and had faith in me, and i can't tell you how thankful i am for that.

Masskeau the 3k pickup that just casually goes 6-2. you have been an absolute legend in your games and it was a pleasure to assist you in prep and talk to you. I hope we will get to team again in the future, it was genuinly impressive to follow this performance of yours.

Gelbel3c we have talked alot, and genuinly, you are such a kind and fun guy. I think it's no suprise to you when i tell you that i would absolutely LOVE to team with you again. You have been one of the people i talked to most outside of the tour from the team and i hope we will continue with it. You never failed to get a smile out of me. Also thank god you played a metagame i absolutely find horrible, mad respect for suffering gen 5 mate.

feen started the tour with the best copy pasta in the chat. Given i didn't know you only had me SLIGHTLY worried. But hey, it was genuinly fun teaming up with you. Only putting SLIGHT pressure on me by telling me to win week 7 last game or you would remind me of it till next MPL.

Floss we hardly got to talk, but every interaction with you, but every time we did get to, you were friendly and respectful towards me. You were also open to my crazy ass ideas sometimes, atleast checking them out or reading what i got to say on teams (before dismissing them for a better option, but hey, i was heard!)

Bouff joining in late into the tour as a start roster player, but prepping with you was super fun. Testgames, teambuilding, everything. Sometimes it was fun to see you ramble on about how to play specific MUs we prepped for. But you clutched it in SV for sure. Also fellow 3.5k wooo!

drizzle frankjosh Irene RoFnA sadly gotta group you together here so rudely. i know it's kinda wrong to do so, but i just didn't have time tointeract with most of you sadly. But the few interactions we got in were enjoyable and fun.

Outside of the team:
ken thank you for hosting this one, making this insane story possible to begin with.
style.css you practicing with me so frequently, even i am not on your Team. Thank god at one point we just decided to be friends, i would miss our talks and our games. You have been a massive help for me to grow as a player.
Azick your help in the team you helped with, ensuring the EVs are right, just genuinly helped alot.

i can't mention everyone i would like to mention, there are so many people i would love to mention, but this is where i will end the list. The rest of you, you know who you are. Thanks all of you.
