Shoutouts are gonna be in alphabetical order
Arifeen Sure, you weren't very active but you were there when you were needed and I appreciate that. You only played a single game but you won that one so that was cool. Thanks for being there man.
Chloe We didn't talk a lot unfortunately but I did enjoy seeing the teams you cooked up for Camomons. You weren't exactly a fortunate player but that didn't really matter, you enjoyed the tier you played and were a good presence.
Eien The last time we actually talked before this tour was when I was still active in GP Discord months ago, so it was nice to meet up with you again. I don't play Tier Shift but it was cool to see you use the Pokemon I use so much in ZU and I tried to help out where I could, though it wasn't much. Looking forward to playing with or against you again in future tours.
EternalSnowman You were super active and I appreciate that. Outside of being the goat in Sketchmons, you were actively helping out in other metas as well, most notably Partners in Crime, and it was nice to see that. Hopefully we'll meet again someday.
Finchinator It was an awesome experience to play and build ZU with you man, like really cool. I am incredibly happy that we picked you up r1 because your enthusiasm for the tier was not something I expected but was very, very welcome. A 3-2 record does not, in my opinion, reflect how good and active you were in this tier but it was absolutely worthwile. I hope you'll stick around and see how far you can get in the Fall Seasonal. Thank you so much.
Gurpreet Patel (Sent you a Friend Request) You had an unfortunate season with lots of things barely not going in your favor, but I don't see any reason to hold it against you. It was clear that you were giving it everything you had and it just didn't wanna work out. When you felt burnt out you were ready to let someone else take over and I see that as a very positive quality. Don't let luck get the best of you and I'll see you some other time.
oh and change your name
LightPinkYoshi Despite both of us having been prominent ZU players for a while, we hadn't actually worked together much until now, but I'm definitely glad we did. I knew you were one of ZU's best players but to my surprise, you were not only very good at supporting, you genuinely enjoyed it. We talked a few times but having you play a game but you said you preferred being on the sidelines and that was cool to see. The ideas we came up with together were nice and it's unfortunate this tour only lasted 5 weeks because I'd love to have worked together for longer. Good luck in Seasonal and see you in finals.
Trace Sorry that you didn't end up playing a game my friend, if we had not had a chance at playoffs until the very end I'd have put you in. Hope to see you again.
Quantum Tesseract Thanks for managing with me! When TI first approached me about managing I was concerned a lack of knowledge on the metas other than ZU would be an issue but you came through. We got a bunch of fun players together and I think it worked out despite not making finals. We'll do this again sometime, I'm sure.
