[BannedList]

Obrigado pelo tour donphans, perdao se eu n fiz suficiente. Eu dei meu melhor. Eu gostava de fazer meu postzinho de shoutouts, mesmo perdendo o torneio. Foi um bom tour. Obrigado a todos.

Msousa eu prometi-te que iamos managear juntos este ano. Ambos cumprimos essa promessa. Podemos ter perdido, mas pelo menos poffs fizemos e eu tenho 0 arrependimentos quanto a nossa auction. Obriago pelo tour irmão, e foi triste que tenhas ficado sem pc durante boa parte dele. N vou olhar ao teu score, tu sabes mt bem o que penso de ti como player e isto não muda nada

leoperi obrigado por aceitar ser nosso terceiro comanager. Vc n foi o mais ativo, mas era o esperado e foi uma boa presenca no chat e boa escolha de comanager.

Unfortunately, didnt work quite the same way, but thats alright. not all decisions can be successful. wish you the best of luck for OLT friend, go beat them.

Kyogrus24 the vgc goat. I knew i could always count on you to get a win when it mattered and it is not a coincidence our VGC slot was our most positive one over the tour in general.

Wincon i got absolutely enamored witht he way you prep for mono for the entire tour, sad that the results didnt reflect the effort you were putting in, even if themselves werent bad at all. Youre a very good player and it was a pleasure getting to know you

Ikaishi nothing more to say than that im happy i drafted the best SS OU player in the tour. You werent the most active, but i knew i could trust you to put in the performance id expect from a name such as yours. Hope you liked tagging along for the ride and good luck with future yours, youre a stellar player really

tokyo prison ty for your performance, you almost gave me multiple heart attacks during the tour but you also won when we needed you to the most and thats all we could ask. Was an honor playing with you

Fdmw sry for benching you the entire season, really only drafted you because undrafted kyrius is absolutely criminal, and its unfortunate you had to land on the team with ikaishi in the one slot you wanted

PixelBob you really cant catch a break uh. the luck on your games was just ass man, wish you coulve shown more of how good of a player you are, but ty for playing for us, always nice to team up with a friend

No mais, eh isso ai msm, obrigado pela season Donphans, perdao por n vos levar ao topo.

for the people that are here specifically for me and not ptpl, this is for you. The others, the PTPL part is above

If you are reading this, im asuming you care enough about me to care about reading what im asuming is a wall of rambling, semi-coherent text about personal stuff that does not pertain to the tournament at all. I will be writing this in english, since its more accessible for the people i want to read it, se você não entende inglês, perdão, por favor usa o tradutor. I have been playing this game for what amounts to about 3 years by this point, and while i expected it to last longer, i feel this is the final stop. As many of you might know, I have planned to retire from the game for a while, in particular my tipping point was the UCL auction, whicxh is a hella silly tipping point if i am to be completely honest. Truthfully, i feel i have done all i need to do in this community, with some notable exceptions. I also feel that i both have not been having fun with the game and it has been overall negative to my mental health. As such, you may take this as my personal retirement post from mons. This has nothing to do with losing or winning PTPL, as the people that are aware as more than a passing thing are aware, i have always planned to retire after this tournament. This is, to be clear, not my final tournament, however, the ones i will play from now on are very specific: DNUPL, if that happens, is one i want to manage with Zpice. WCoP 2027, if team Portugal wants me back and hasnt moved on from me by then, i wish to play/manage in. I obviously plan to finish RCoP and BOUPL, and if Purbaj still wants to take my promisse up we can manage a tour together, i hate breaking promisses like that. But thats it. No more mons after, during or before this point. after wcop 27, i should fully vanish from the game, at most stay around talking with friends and occasionally ladder. This isnt a spurt of the moment decision, this has been planned for months now. With all of that said, i think i woudl do my friends a disservice by not saying goodbye. I will do it in a sort of "era" thing. so here it comes. Thank you all, first off, for havig accompanied me on this journey, you truly are fantastic.

I must start with 35 really was my first home in this community, people like NotGerald and Ryu09 helped me feel welcome and feel part of something new and exciting. I had some fun running stuff with Ember Celica aswell, even if we arent on the best of terms now, thank you for the ride. Ive made friends for life there, be it my pt speaking friend eambplsl, the great oct gang of bigshoota and Riki/Poisany or the ones that came after, like @carnivore05, Maszt, BellUno, MamboTND, presi, mmtaccos, Bizounounours, Laviecestdure, terribleplayer17 and so, so many more. I must also bring up my great time in PDL, with amazing folk such as reality, @azurious StanTerhoeve28 and 7ayakum. It truly was a different time, less smogon politics bs, less stakes, less having to care about cheaters unless they were that one who was cheating on their gf, i had no idea what was to come.

It is here i start branching out, and really i only got anywhere due to team pt. In particular, i gotta thank Ulti Bastion, Frixel, sayyonara, Hueco, Bdd, Minatevis, I Feel Stabby, BAGANHA13 and BannedList for being generally awesome people (well except for yato, hes more fun). I must also mention the [REDACTED]cord, where ive made so many lifelong friends, like qbking3, OceanicGamer, FishyRoads and IncredibleKing who i absolutely love nowadays. By this time, i still had no clear path, I stumbled around looking for my place. With that, i landed in the PTPL chat, and started slowly pushing myself into stuff and making my mark, meeting people like Astarion, NaokiSeven, Sr. Regigigas and Leafium Z, being also the time when landoheimer died and got replaced by Nasir, you can blame Envy for that , going even into evopl soon after, where i made great friends like my brother beto cachinhos, Miraiii, Coffy and my formerly great friend ExguardiaN who, despite me being on bad terms with now, is someone id creditwith much of my development in this community for a while. It is also when i get dragged into the more raw side of the speaker community, with the smaller players and stuff. AstradiaPL was that experience for me, where id get closer with KniY, Cyrakii, Cloudznn, angolano06, glowbrogang, kimer and many more people id consider legitimate friends nowadays.

I think id only get a clear path during UUFPL, where i helped what would become some of my favourite people on the site. haxlolo, jawabarat, igiveuponaname, Maris Bonibelle and amny others who made up the battlegirls really gave me a way foward into the world of smogon and expanded my horizons. Id play then in ORAS Under right after, something i have to thank my great friend CarTulo for allowing em to do. I think its here i create my own character, separate from 35, or the sub 9 which i have no reason outside of abra xdd (s/o abrinha) to mention. I would play in many other tournaments after, but nothing of note except that i would keep growing my name. NasirPL was a thing that happened and thats all i can say about it. At this point, i feel like i was just a silently consistent player whenever i played, nothing more.

the end of 25 and start of 26 feels like a breath of fresh air, with me meeting so many people and joining so many new cool jerks. cugang, with my goats 4tup ZombieEyeZ im_m0rtal. Incognition Cluelessmagnet Proszz Regiboob and so many others, not to speak of a great PTSL win along side many of the people mentioned above in the PTPL section, with some aditions like berna-, luuanfps, Staraptor and lighthouses (+ Liemaster) that really reinforced my love for management, and was overall one of the most fun tours ive played in a while (not so subtle hint for yall MyPearl Grillo). This comes after a devastating PTPL, where people like GUZOT, DD Joe, Hats and EmbCPT were a silver lining in a pretty negative tournament when it comes to a pretty devastating tour run. Housewifes is also relevant, my second home in this community, with Poli, sheepie, sychillz, Dead by Daylight, Soda Eesti Aurist, Theycallmephil and even people like my bro Mok3s and so, so many more amazing people i love dearly. That to not speak of the many smaller communities ive joined, making tight friends as a result like SouCarlos, Luisa, PixelBob or my student kauez a bit later

This is where my story is thus far. Everyone ive mentioned above had an insanely big impact on my life and is someone i can consider to have been a good friend. This is not even an exhaustive list, making one of those without looking at everyone ive ever interacted with is a herculean task i am not ready for. While people like notlena and Sparkelz have also entered my life and are relevant, for example, i just cant mention everyone. However, for some of you that know me best, know some people are missing weirdly, as they are some of the people i cherish the most and have been the closest with in these last 3 years. even if people above play an important part on who i became, none of them are these 4 below, no amtter how much love i have for people like ocean, purbaj, lolo, jawa or tup.

Msousa ive called you my brother in the mons community enough times by now for it to not be a joke. you have always been my rock and closest friend, be it in the old days of making wigglytuff sun in march24, up to managing PTPL with me. You know me better than anyone else and i dont think i need to tell anyone this but you. Ly sousa, never change, keep being the amazing friend you have been, you are and always will be. If theres anyone i know i can have long technical talks with, i know its you, and theres only one person i know calls out my bs when i need it xd

Finchely fin the lee, finnicky, friendly, finnish lee, or simply finchy. You make sure my mind is sane every time, laugh with me, cry with me and have always comemorated my accomplishment like no one else. Youre my sister in this mons community, we might play fight everywhere and be silly, but at the end of the day we care for each other and theres nothing that makes me happier than see that youre well. ly finchy, keep being the you we all know and love.

Zpice you knew your mention was coming. It was hard not mentioning you witht he battlegirls, or the housewifes, or how youre pretty much the reason why i held on for so long in this community. You believed in me when no one else did. You saw the spark i was missing, and worked with me to become the best version of myself i ever could be. Youre one of the most trustworthy people i know, and one of the people i have the most gratitude for in my entire life. Thank you for all youve ever done for me, and for being a fucking awesome friend who i can always rely on

Calmmind75 s/o McBruh for presenting to me what is one of the most lively people i know, a great friend with a good heart and a very fun personality, who i know i can have both deep convos with and just have fun and chill, depending on what its needed. Someone i know will accept any cool idea i have, go for the silly route every time and be the absolute best bro ever. Ty for sticking around calm,a nd your future in this game will shine brighter than what people might think right now

Vii-samba obligatory vii ping, ty girl for always making sure my mind is in check and putting up with my mons bs while giving me awesome advice, youre a real one

Ty for reading this semi-coherent ramble yall, Nasir signing out, if youre still reading here, go play 35 oct-b or something, meta is fucking sweet

[SPOILER/]

Eu começei a jogar mons não para ganhar mas sim para conviver com pessoas, ainda que não saiba se entraste pelo mesmo motivo que eu, eu tenho certeza pela tua wall de shouts e pings que concretizaste esse objetivo. Eu estaria orgulhoso.

Obrigado pelo tour donphans, perdao se eu n fiz suficiente. Eu dei meu melhor. Eu gostava de fazer meu postzinho de shoutouts, mesmo perdendo o torneio. Foi um bom tour. Obrigado a todos.

Msousa eu prometi-te que iamos managear juntos este ano. Ambos cumprimos essa promessa. Podemos ter perdido, mas pelo menos poffs fizemos e eu tenho 0 arrependimentos quanto a nossa auction. Obriago pelo tour irmão, e foi triste que tenhas ficado sem pc durante boa parte dele. N vou olhar ao teu score, tu sabes mt bem o que penso de ti como player e isto não muda nada

LB wish you were in a better mental state for this tour my brother. I knew i wanted a repeat of our PTSL SV OU core, i knew you guys would cook. Unfortunately, didnt work quite the same way, but thats alright. not all decisions can be successful. wish you the best of luck for OLT friend, go beat them.

Wincon i got absolutely enamored witht he way you prep for mono for the entire tour, sad that the results didnt reflect the effort you were putting in, even if themselves werent bad at all. Youre a very good player and it was a pleasure getting to know you

Ikaishi nothing more to say than that im happy i drafted the best SS OU player in the tour. You werent the most active, but i knew i could trust you to put in the performance id expect from a name such as yours. Hope you liked tagging along for the ride and good luck with future yours, youre a stellar player really

tokyo prison ty for your performance, you almost gave me multiple heart attacks during the tour but you also won when we needed you to the most and thats all we could ask. Was an honor playing with you

Fdmw sry for benching you the entire season, really only drafted you because undrafted kyrius is absolutely criminal, and its unfortunate you had to land on the team with ikaishi in the one slot you wanted

PixelBob you really cant catch a break uh. the luck on your games was just ass man, wish you coulve shown more of how good of a player you are, but ty for playing for us, always nice to team up with a friend

4tup desculpa ter tido de te dar sellback, esperava poder mostrar ao mundo outra vez o teu nivel como jogador, mas a vida tinha outros planos para ti

Proszz desculpa n te draftar inicialmente, e obrigado pro teres dado o teu maximo para ajudar a team quando te juntaste a noz, fizeste uam diferenca enorme mesmo que tenhas benchado praticamente a season toda

Caesarr l4d2 quando?

um rapido shoutout aos helpers tambem, xonks OceanicGamer FishyRoads im_m0rtal. magma_man EC presi fate1q Platum Braga #1RantaroFan , vcs sao foda, e em especial pra Vii-samba por me ajudar pessoalmente como um constante mental check

No mais, eh isso ai msm, obrigado pela season Donphans, perdao por n vos levar ao topo.

for the people that are here specifically for me and not ptpl, this is for you. The others, the PTPL part is above

If you are reading this, im asuming you care enough about me to care about reading what im asuming is a wall of rambling, semi-coherent text about personal stuff that does not pertain to the tournament at all. I will be writing this in english, since its more accessible for the people i want to read it, se você não entende inglês, perdão, por favor usa o tradutor. I have been playing this game for what amounts to about 3 years by this point, and while i expected it to last longer, i feel this is the final stop. As many of you might know, I have planned to retire from the game for a while, in particular my tipping point was the UCL auction, whicxh is a hella silly tipping point if i am to be completely honest. Truthfully, i feel i have done all i need to do in this community, with some notable exceptions. I also feel that i both have not been having fun with the game and it has been overall negative to my mental health. As such, you may take this as my personal retirement post from mons. This has nothing to do with losing or winning PTPL, as the people that are aware as more than a passing thing are aware, i have always planned to retire after this tournament. This is, to be clear, not my final tournament, however, the ones i will play from now on are very specific: DNUPL, if that happens, is one i want to manage with Zpice. WCoP 2027, if team Portugal wants me back and hasnt moved on from me by then, i wish to play/manage in. I obviously plan to finish RCoP and BOUPL, and if Purbaj still wants to take my promisse up we can manage a tour together, i hate breaking promisses like that. But thats it. No more mons after, during or before this point. after wcop 27, i should fully vanish from the game, at most stay around talking with friends and occasionally ladder. This isnt a spurt of the moment decision, this has been planned for months now. With all of that said, i think i woudl do my friends a disservice by not saying goodbye. I will do it in a sort of "era" thing. so here it comes. Thank you all, first off, for havig accompanied me on this journey, you truly are fantastic.

I must start with 35 really was my first home in this community, people like NotGerald and Ryu09 helped me feel welcome and feel part of something new and exciting. I had some fun running stuff with Ember Celica aswell, even if we arent on the best of terms now, thank you for the ride. Ive made friends for life there, be it my pt speaking friend eambplsl, the great oct gang of bigshoota and Riki/Poisany or the ones that came after, like @carnivore05, Maszt, BellUno, MamboTND, presi, mmtaccos, Bizounounours, Laviecestdure, terribleplayer17 and so, so many more. I must also bring up my great time in PDL, with amazing folk such as reality, @azurious StanTerhoeve28 and 7ayakum. It truly was a different time, less smogon politics bs, less stakes, less having to care about cheaters unless they were that one who was cheating on their gf, i had no idea what was to come.

It is here i start branching out, and really i only got anywhere due to team pt. In particular, i gotta thank Ulti Bastion, Frixel, sayyonara, Hueco, Bdd, Minatevis, I Feel Stabby, BAGANHA13 and BannedList for being generally awesome people (well except for yato, hes more fun). I must also mention the [REDACTED]cord, where ive made so many lifelong friends, like qbking3, OceanicGamer, FishyRoads and IncredibleKing who i absolutely love nowadays. By this time, i still had no clear path, I stumbled around looking for my place. With that, i landed in the PTPL chat, and started slowly pushing myself into stuff and making my mark, meeting people like Astarion, NaokiSeven, Sr. Regigigas and Leafium Z, being also the time when landoheimer died and got replaced by Nasir, you can blame Envy for that , going even into evopl soon after, where i made great friends like my brother beto cachinhos, Miraiii, Coffy and my formerly great friend ExguardiaN who, despite me being on bad terms with now, is someone id creditwith much of my development in this community for a while. It is also when i get dragged into the more raw side of the speaker community, with the smaller players and stuff. AstradiaPL was that experience for me, where id get closer with KniY, Cyrakii, Cloudznn, angolano06, glowbrogang, kimer and many more people id consider legitimate friends nowadays.

I think id only get a clear path during UUFPL, where i helped what would become some of my favourite people on the site. haxlolo, jawabarat, igiveuponaname, Maris Bonibelle and amny others who made up the battlegirls really gave me a way foward into the world of smogon and expanded my horizons. Id play then in ORAS Under right after, something i have to thank my great friend CarTulo for allowing em to do. I think its here i create my own character, separate from 35, or the sub 9 which i have no reason outside of abra xdd (s/o abrinha) to mention. I would play in many other tournaments after, but nothing of note except that i would keep growing my name. NasirPL was a thing that happened and thats all i can say about it. At this point, i feel like i was just a silently consistent player whenever i played, nothing more.

the end of 25 and start of 26 feels like a breath of fresh air, with me meeting so many people and joining so many new cool jerks. cugang, with my goats 4tup ZombieEyeZ im_m0rtal. Incognition Cluelessmagnet Proszz Regiboob and so many others, not to speak of a great PTSL win along side many of the people mentioned above in the PTPL section, with some aditions like berna-, luuanfps, Staraptor and lighthouses (+ Liemaster) that really reinforced my love for management, and was overall one of the most fun tours ive played in a while (not so subtle hint for yall MyPearl Grillo). This comes after a devastating PTPL, where people like GUZOT, DD Joe, Hats and EmbCPT were a silver lining in a pretty negative tournament when it comes to a pretty devastating tour run. Housewifes is also relevant, my second home in this community, with Poli, sheepie, sychillz, Dead by Daylight, Soda Eesti Aurist, Theycallmephil and even people like my bro Mok3s and so, so many more amazing people i love dearly. That to not speak of the many smaller communities ive joined, making tight friends as a result like SouCarlos, Luisa, PixelBob or my student kauez a bit later

This is where my story is thus far. Everyone ive mentioned above had an insanely big impact on my life and is someone i can consider to have been a good friend. This is not even an exhaustive list, making one of those without looking at everyone ive ever interacted with is a herculean task i am not ready for. While people like notlena and Sparkelz have also entered my life and are relevant, for example, i just cant mention everyone. However, for some of you that know me best, know some people are missing weirdly, as they are some of the people i cherish the most and have been the closest with in these last 3 years. even if people above play an important part on who i became, none of them are these 4 below, no amtter how much love i have for people like ocean, purbaj, lolo, jawa or tup.

Msousa ive called you my brother in the mons community enough times by now for it to not be a joke. you have always been my rock and closest friend, be it in the old days of making wigglytuff sun in march24, up to managing PTPL with me. You know me better than anyone else and i dont think i need to tell anyone this but you. Ly sousa, never change, keep being the amazing friend you have been, you are and always will be. If theres anyone i know i can have long technical talks with, i know its you, and theres only one person i know calls out my bs when i need it xd

Finchely fin the lee, finnicky, friendly, finnish lee, or simply finchy. You make sure my mind is sane every time, laugh with me, cry with me and have always comemorated my accomplishment like no one else. Youre my sister in this mons community, we might play fight everywhere and be silly, but at the end of the day we care for each other and theres nothing that makes me happier than see that youre well. ly finchy, keep being the you we all know and love.

Zpice you knew your mention was coming. It was hard not mentioning you witht he battlegirls, or the housewifes, or how youre pretty much the reason why i held on for so long in this community. You believed in me when no one else did. You saw the spark i was missing, and worked with me to become the best version of myself i ever could be. Youre one of the most trustworthy people i know, and one of the people i have the most gratitude for in my entire life. Thank you for all youve ever done for me, and for being a fucking awesome friend who i can always rely on

Calmmind75 s/o McBruh for presenting to me what is one of the most lively people i know, a great friend with a good heart and a very fun personality, who i know i can have both deep convos with and just have fun and chill, depending on what its needed. Someone i know will accept any cool idea i have, go for the silly route every time and be the absolute best bro ever. Ty for sticking around calm,a nd your future in this game will shine brighter than what people might think right now

Vii-samba obligatory vii ping, ty girl for always making sure my mind is in check and putting up with my mons bs while giving me awesome advice, youre a real one

Ty for reading this semi-coherent ramble yall, Nasir signing out, if youre still reading here, go play 35 oct-b or something, meta is fucking sweet

[SPOILER/]

Ik we didn't interact much and I only knew you for a few months, but during that time I can see that you're one of the most genuine and kind people in this community. Even in the short time I've known you, it was clear how much you care about the people around you and how much you put into everything you do. I'm really glad I got the chance to meet you, even if we don't talk too much. I wish you nothing but the best moving forward, and I hope you enjoy whatever comes next. Take care, goat

Tardei mas n falhei

Eulogia dos diancies que eu tambem tava louco pra fazer, basicamente o time seraphz elite que deve ter pelo menos 1/4 dos jogos com algum ghost e um chat que provavelmente fedia a internet 2012. Detalhes a parte o time n parecia ruim de jeito algum, porem alem dos poucos slots fracos que tinham de fato n ter performado ainda teve casos que slots promissores simplesmente n performaram, e num contexto geral parecia que o time so n ligava muito, devido a fatores como havoc spamando monotype em nu, skyiew querendo subbar porra nenhuma, no geral n vi tanta garra assim, só 3 slots de fato performaram adequadamente mas são 3 slots no qual já se era esperado, não houve nenhum upset dentro do time, ngm ali que possa ter surpreendido e consequentemente ajudado no score semana a semana, além da zinnias ter cancerado, de novo.

Tldr:

-Time de amigos que n ligavam mt pro tour
-Nenhum slot fraco no papel surpreendeu
-A maioria dos slots medianos pra fortes floparam
-Zinnias cancerou e deixou o slot em incógnita
-Oi KAPS e BOLINHA

Zpice you knew your mention was coming. It was hard not mentioning you witht he battlegirls, or the housewifes, or how youre pretty much the reason why i held on for so long in this community. You believed in me when no one else did. You saw the spark i was missing, and worked with me to become the best version of myself i ever could be. Youre one of the most trustworthy people i know, and one of the people i have the most gratitude for in my entire life. Thank you for all youve ever done for me, and for being a fucking awesome friend who i can always rely on

Calmmind75 s/o McBruh for presenting to me what is one of the most lively people i know, a great friend with a good heart and a very fun personality, who i know i can have both deep convos with and just have fun and chill, depending on what its needed. Someone i know will accept any cool idea i have, go for the silly route every time and be the absolute best bro ever. Ty for sticking around calm,a nd your future in this game will shine brighter than what people might think right now

Vii-samba obligatory vii ping, ty girl for always making sure my mind is in check and putting up with my mons bs while giving me awesome advice, youre a real one

Ty for reading this semi-coherent ramble yall, Nasir signing out, if youre still reading here, go play 35 oct-b or something, meta is fucking sweet

[SPOILER/]

its incredibly hard tochose between a troll response to this or a heartfelt response but in light of recent events making me sappier ive chosen the latter

the mons community has never been one ive truly vibed with, for a variety of reasons, but theres been a few people that have always been a pleasure to interact with and safe to say your one of them. youve always been kind, reasonable and most of all very funny. to be corny you always helped brighten up every server or convo u were in and i dont think i always did justice to how much better you made this community, and much to my chagrin didnt know you too long. safe to say, you'll be missed greatly not just by me but by the whole community. love you (/plat)) (unless....) and hope your retirement goes most amazingly, which is should considering less mons is always a good thing.

Eulogia dos diancies que eu tambem tava louco pra fazer, basicamente o time seraphz elite que deve ter pelo menos 1/4 dos jogos com algum ghost e um chat que provavelmente fedia a internet 2012. Detalhes a parte o time n parecia ruim de jeito algum, porem alem dos poucos slots fracos que tinham de fato n ter performado ainda teve casos que slots promissores simplesmente n performaram, e num contexto geral parecia que o time so n ligava muito, devido a fatores como havoc spamando monotype em nu, skyiew querendo subbar porra nenhuma, no geral n vi tanta garra assim, só 3 slots de fato performaram adequadamente mas são 3 slots no qual já se era esperado, não houve nenhum upset dentro do time, ngm ali que possa ter surpreendido e consequentemente ajudado no score semana a semana, além da zinnias ter cancerado, de novo.

Tldr:

-Time de amigos que n ligavam mt pro tour
-Nenhum slot fraco no papel surpreendeu
-A maioria dos slots medianos pra fortes floparam
-Zinnias cancerou e deixou o slot em incógnita
-Oi KAPS e BOLINHA

>time seraphz elite
>não tem seraphz

Obrigado pelo tour donphans, perdao se eu n fiz suficiente. Eu dei meu melhor. Eu gostava de fazer meu postzinho de shoutouts, mesmo perdendo o torneio. Foi um bom tour. Obrigado a todos.

Msousa eu prometi-te que iamos managear juntos este ano. Ambos cumprimos essa promessa. Podemos ter perdido, mas pelo menos poffs fizemos e eu tenho 0 arrependimentos quanto a nossa auction. Obriago pelo tour irmão, e foi triste que tenhas ficado sem pc durante boa parte dele. N vou olhar ao teu score, tu sabes mt bem o que penso de ti como player e isto não muda nada

leoperi obrigado por aceitar ser nosso terceiro comanager. Vc n foi o mais ativo, mas era o esperado e foi uma boa presenca no chat e boa escolha de comanager.

purbaj thank you my friend for all the help behind the scenes. Couldnt have made it so far without you, and im sorry it didnt lead to a victory. Hope you have a great scl though, amazing and super proud to see you there. If you need anything of me, you know you have my dms open for you always. Also great recommendation in me empty

wssi vlw pela ajuda geral na prep. Perdao ter tido de te subbar. mas sua prep, por mais que tenha todo o meme, foi genuinamente valiosa e o um dos motivos pelo qual chegamos onde chegamos, principalmente in lt's

LB wish you were in a better mental state for this tour my brother. I knew i wanted a repeat of our PTSL SV OU core, i knew you guys would cook. Unfortunately, didnt work quite the same way, but thats alright. not all decisions can be successful. wish you the best of luck for OLT friend, go beat them.

Calmmind75 obrigado por manter meu mental são durante o tour e pela performance amigo. Eu sabia que tinha que te comprar e que me traria resultados. infelizmente n te dei a PTPL, mas vc vai chegar bem mais longe do que esse torneio. Vc eh um player fenomenal e amigo melhor ainda, uma honra jogar a seu lado

Kyogrus24 the vgc goat. I knew i could always count on you to get a win when it mattered and it is not a coincidence our VGC slot was our most positive one over the tour in general. I didnt know you before this, but i can confidently say youre an amazing player who will do everything in his power to win, all the while maintaining an amazing chat atmosphere. Thank you for tagging along on the journey, all the success to you in your future endeavors friend

Boa sorte pros proximos tours e vida pessoal mano, foi um prazer jogar contigo, otimas vibes e otima gameplay

Ty for playing with us, my twin, it was amazing teaming up with you in this tour and i hope youloved being in it as much as we loved having you. Unfortunately, you didnt get your so deserved x-0

toinha wssi preps. Simplesmente o homem em SV RU. PRa setimo melhor da pool, acho q fizemos a escolha certa. N deixe se abater pela derrota final, todos temos games ruins ate soulwind chokou game decisivo wcop- e tudo q vc fez pelo time vale mais doq uma simples loss. Obrigado por nos acompanhar e por ser esse player e pessoa foda q vc eh

5MGMatthew5 my friend, i knew i needed you tos tart in NU here, no matter what people thought. It was amazing teaming up with you matt, and i hope you had fun and are happy with your season, it was an amazing one to follow. Gl in future endeavors

Me Empty ty purbaj for recommending me the PU goat. Unfort your result didnt follow your skill or tier knowledge, but i hope you liked tagging along for the ride

KniY na boa, vc foi meu mental check o tour inteiro. Vlw por estar nas minhas dms me escutando lentamente quebrando qnd o time parecia desmoronar, ajuda mt mais doq parece. N me arrependo nem um pouco de te comprar, e perdao n ter podido te slottar tirando em fodendo sv ou

hxmo View attachment 856172 (brincadeiras a parte, obrigado por jogar mesmo com o irl na merda praticamente o tour inteiro,3k hxmo foi um roubo e eh pena q n deu pra mostrar isso tao bem como deveria)

Wincon i got absolutely enamored witht he way you prep for mono for the entire tour, sad that the results didnt reflect the effort you were putting in, even if themselves werent bad at all. Youre a very good player and it was a pleasure getting to know you

Ikaishi nothing more to say than that im happy i drafted the best SS OU player in the tour. You werent the most active, but i knew i could trust you to put in the performance id expect from a name such as yours. Hope you liked tagging along for the ride and good luck with future yours, youre a stellar player really

tokyo prison ty for your performance, you almost gave me multiple heart attacks during the tour but you also won when we needed you to the most and thats all we could ask. Was an honor playing with you

Fdmw sry for benching you the entire season, really only drafted you because undrafted kyrius is absolutely criminal, and its unfortunate you had to land on the team with ikaishi in the one slot you wanted

PixelBob you really cant catch a break uh. the luck on your games was just ass man, wish you coulve shown more of how good of a player you are, but ty for playing for us, always nice to team up with a friend

4tup desculpa ter tido de te dar sellback, esperava poder mostrar ao mundo outra vez o teu nivel como jogador, mas a vida tinha outros planos para ti

Proszz desculpa n te draftar inicialmente, e obrigado pro teres dado o teu maximo para ajudar a team quando te juntaste a noz, fizeste uam diferenca enorme mesmo que tenhas benchado praticamente a season toda

Caesarr l4d2 quando?

um rapido shoutout aos helpers tambem, xonks OceanicGamer FishyRoads im_m0rtal. magma_man EC presi fate1q Platum Braga #1RantaroFan , vcs sao foda, e em especial pra Vii-samba por me ajudar pessoalmente como um constante mental check

No mais, eh isso ai msm, obrigado pela season Donphans, perdao por n vos levar ao topo.

for the people that are here specifically for me and not ptpl, this is for you. The others, the PTPL part is above

If you are reading this, im asuming you care enough about me to care about reading what im asuming is a wall of rambling, semi-coherent text about personal stuff that does not pertain to the tournament at all. I will be writing this in english, since its more accessible for the people i want to read it, se você não entende inglês, perdão, por favor usa o tradutor. I have been playing this game for what amounts to about 3 years by this point, and while i expected it to last longer, i feel this is the final stop. As many of you might know, I have planned to retire from the game for a while, in particular my tipping point was the UCL auction, whicxh is a hella silly tipping point if i am to be completely honest. Truthfully, i feel i have done all i need to do in this community, with some notable exceptions. I also feel that i both have not been having fun with the game and it has been overall negative to my mental health. As such, you may take this as my personal retirement post from mons. This has nothing to do with losing or winning PTPL, as the people that are aware as more than a passing thing are aware, i have always planned to retire after this tournament. This is, to be clear, not my final tournament, however, the ones i will play from now on are very specific: DNUPL, if that happens, is one i want to manage with Zpice. WCoP 2027, if team Portugal wants me back and hasnt moved on from me by then, i wish to play/manage in. I obviously plan to finish RCoP and BOUPL, and if Purbaj still wants to take my promisse up we can manage a tour together, i hate breaking promisses like that. But thats it. No more mons after, during or before this point. after wcop 27, i should fully vanish from the game, at most stay around talking with friends and occasionally ladder. This isnt a spurt of the moment decision, this has been planned for months now. With all of that said, i think i woudl do my friends a disservice by not saying goodbye. I will do it in a sort of "era" thing. so here it comes. Thank you all, first off, for havig accompanied me on this journey, you truly are fantastic.

I must start with 35 really was my first home in this community, people like NotGerald and Ryu09 helped me feel welcome and feel part of something new and exciting. I had some fun running stuff with Ember Celica aswell, even if we arent on the best of terms now, thank you for the ride. Ive made friends for life there, be it my pt speaking friend eambplsl, the great oct gang of bigshoota and Riki/Poisany or the ones that came after, like @carnivore05, Maszt, BellUno, MamboTND, presi, mmtaccos, Bizounounours, Laviecestdure, terribleplayer17 and so, so many more. I must also bring up my great time in PDL, with amazing folk such as reality, @azurious StanTerhoeve28 and 7ayakum. It truly was a different time, less smogon politics bs, less stakes, less having to care about cheaters unless they were that one who was cheating on their gf, i had no idea what was to come.

It is here i start branching out, and really i only got anywhere due to team pt. In particular, i gotta thank Ulti Bastion, Frixel, sayyonara, Hueco, Bdd, Minatevis, I Feel Stabby, BAGANHA13 and BannedList for being generally awesome people (well except for yato, hes more fun). I must also mention the [REDACTED]cord, where ive made so many lifelong friends, like qbking3, OceanicGamer, FishyRoads and IncredibleKing who i absolutely love nowadays. By this time, i still had no clear path, I stumbled around looking for my place. With that, i landed in the PTPL chat, and started slowly pushing myself into stuff and making my mark, meeting people like Astarion, NaokiSeven, Sr. Regigigas and Leafium Z, being also the time when landoheimer died and got replaced by Nasir, you can blame Envy for that , going even into evopl soon after, where i made great friends like my brother beto cachinhos, Miraiii, Coffy and my formerly great friend ExguardiaN who, despite me being on bad terms with now, is someone id creditwith much of my development in this community for a while. It is also when i get dragged into the more raw side of the speaker community, with the smaller players and stuff. AstradiaPL was that experience for me, where id get closer with KniY, Cyrakii, Cloudznn, angolano06, glowbrogang, kimer and many more people id consider legitimate friends nowadays.

I think id only get a clear path during UUFPL, where i helped what would become some of my favourite people on the site. haxlolo, jawabarat, igiveuponaname, Maris Bonibelle and amny others who made up the battlegirls really gave me a way foward into the world of smogon and expanded my horizons. Id play then in ORAS Under right after, something i have to thank my great friend CarTulo for allowing em to do. I think its here i create my own character, separate from 35, or the sub 9 which i have no reason outside of abra xdd (s/o abrinha) to mention. I would play in many other tournaments after, but nothing of note except that i would keep growing my name. NasirPL was a thing that happened and thats all i can say about it. At this point, i feel like i was just a silently consistent player whenever i played, nothing more.

the end of 25 and start of 26 feels like a breath of fresh air, with me meeting so many people and joining so many new cool jerks. cugang, with my goats 4tup ZombieEyeZ im_m0rtal. Incognition Cluelessmagnet Proszz Regiboob and so many others, not to speak of a great PTSL win along side many of the people mentioned above in the PTPL section, with some aditions like berna-, luuanfps, Staraptor and lighthouses (+ Liemaster) that really reinforced my love for management, and was overall one of the most fun tours ive played in a while (not so subtle hint for yall MyPearl Grillo). This comes after a devastating PTPL, where people like GUZOT, DD Joe, Hats and EmbCPT were a silver lining in a pretty negative tournament when it comes to a pretty devastating tour run. Housewifes is also relevant, my second home in this community, with Poli, sheepie, sychillz, Dead by Daylight, Soda Eesti Aurist, Theycallmephil and even people like my bro Mok3s and so, so many more amazing people i love dearly. That to not speak of the many smaller communities ive joined, making tight friends as a result like SouCarlos, Luisa, PixelBob or my student kauez a bit later

This is where my story is thus far. Everyone ive mentioned above had an insanely big impact on my life and is someone i can consider to have been a good friend. This is not even an exhaustive list, making one of those without looking at everyone ive ever interacted with is a herculean task i am not ready for. While people like notlena and Sparkelz have also entered my life and are relevant, for example, i just cant mention everyone. However, for some of you that know me best, know some people are missing weirdly, as they are some of the people i cherish the most and have been the closest with in these last 3 years. even if people above play an important part on who i became, none of them are these 4 below, no amtter how much love i have for people like ocean, purbaj, lolo, jawa or tup.

Msousa ive called you my brother in the mons community enough times by now for it to not be a joke. you have always been my rock and closest friend, be it in the old days of making wigglytuff sun in march24, up to managing PTPL with me. You know me better than anyone else and i dont think i need to tell anyone this but you. Ly sousa, never change, keep being the amazing friend you have been, you are and always will be. If theres anyone i know i can have long technical talks with, i know its you, and theres only one person i know calls out my bs when i need it xd

Finchely fin the lee, finnicky, friendly, finnish lee, or simply finchy. You make sure my mind is sane every time, laugh with me, cry with me and have always comemorated my accomplishment like no one else. Youre my sister in this mons community, we might play fight everywhere and be silly, but at the end of the day we care for each other and theres nothing that makes me happier than see that youre well. ly finchy, keep being the you we all know and love.

Zpice you knew your mention was coming. It was hard not mentioning you witht he battlegirls, or the housewifes, or how youre pretty much the reason why i held on for so long in this community. You believed in me when no one else did. You saw the spark i was missing, and worked with me to become the best version of myself i ever could be. Youre one of the most trustworthy people i know, and one of the people i have the most gratitude for in my entire life. Thank you for all youve ever done for me, and for being a fucking awesome friend who i can always rely on

Calmmind75 s/o McBruh for presenting to me what is one of the most lively people i know, a great friend with a good heart and a very fun personality, who i know i can have both deep convos with and just have fun and chill, depending on what its needed. Someone i know will accept any cool idea i have, go for the silly route every time and be the absolute best bro ever. Ty for sticking around calm,a nd your future in this game will shine brighter than what people might think right now

Chegou o post que menos queria fazer, mas eu disse que eu seria imparcial, certo? Primeiramente antes de dar a minha visão sobre nossa season queria agradecer o time por ter tentado, não tive tanta oportunidade de agradecer no chat e agradecer o Thiago Nunes e siras por terem tentado comigo de novo.
Então, no papel o time era muito bom, não me arrependo da maioria de como o draft saiu em termos comuns, conseguimos praticamente todos que planejamos por preços bons, da auction pro início do tour tudo parecia muito bem. O problema foi quando começou o tour, é normal players decentes ter tour ruins, o problema é que aconteceu com quase o time todo ao mesmo tempo, começamos as 2 primeiras weeks muito mal, competindo com os Solgaleos lá no final da tabela. Da week 3 pra frente a gente começou a dar uma leve recuperada nos pontos, mas como a gente já começou com um prejuízo grande iria ser bem difícil, na week 6 ainda tivemos o milagre de saber que se ganhassemos a w6 e w7 a gente passaria sem depender de mais ninguém, mas empatamos a w6 (o que foi um milagre também pq estava 2-6 a um ponto) e na w7 dependiamos dos kicks e toxtricities ganharem e ambos perderam, logo a vitoria na w7 n importou. Falando de desempenho eu realmente acho que o que mais quebrou foi SS, NU e Ubers, chokamos muito jogo nos slots durante o tour, UU mais cedo estava precário também mas quando passamos o diogo pra RU ele se mostrou outro jogador, O Waltz começou muito bem o tour e seguiu o fluxo contrário do resto do time, enquanto melhoramos ele acabou decaindo na segunda metade, mas a primeira metade foi genial, VGC foi um slot que teve um pouco de azar mas incomumente performou abaixo. SM começou o tour mal perdendo 2 jogos jogando mal mas fez uma baita recuperação em diante, trouxe o que procurávamos quando compramos. Beraldo foi genial nesse tour, o cara n joga há anos e aparece pra ficar neutro em LC que nunca jogou e dps vai pra UU pra ganhar mais 2, baita jogador meu mano, Nunera teve um mu fudido no caminho mas performou bem no geral. Eu surpreendentemente fiz uma PTPL boa dado meu histórico fudido, mas finalmente fiz uma season individual digna. Não nos arrependemos exatamente dos retains mas provavelmente o que nos ferrou foi o quanto gastamos neles + os selfbuys, nos deixou sem sub e deixou os players performando mal presos nos slots deles.

Tldr (esse precisa de vdd):
-Players decentes todos tendo um tour ruim, tudo ao mesmo tempo
-Uma quantidade paranormal de chokes durante a season
-Early season péssima, nos deixando numa desvantagem muito grande pra correr atrás
-Retains + selfbuys muito caros que limitaram nosso banco, fazendo slots ruins ficarem presos.
-s/o especial pra Liemaster e Nu pela dedicação e performance no tour

Ta bom envy seu filho da puta ta se doendo toda vez que eu falo de seraphz elite entao vou chamar o seu time de seraphz elite ja que vc quer tanto estar relacionado com os integralista do pxbr que faz ragebait e se ghosta. Fico feliz pela troca do meu time ter sido eliminado o seu foi na mesma sequencia. Enfim, falando de performance, a primeira coisa a se notar eh o seraphz ter ido 13k pra ter jogado DOIS jogos no total da season, impossivel n atribuir isso ao fracasso do time, n só pelo preço mas pelo seraphz ser acima do restante do time (e n estou falando q eh bom), Lithium meio que confirmou que está bem enferrujada, Junin aumentou minhas suspeitas de que ele so tenha sido ghostado na RUPL mesmo (o fato dele estar lá por si só já eh suspeito), mesmo a Soma não ser um nome tão forte assim eu n sei pq n startou em mono em se manteve no slot, Wrath e Nanandes indo 3-4 até que foi uma surpresa positiva por parte do time, esperava eles sendo obliterados em seus respectivos slots, dog mendigoso foi um pouco caro demais pela tier competitiva que iria pegar tendo menos nome que a maioria, não foi péssimo mas pelo valor pode ter prejudicado de fato, os 4-3 não parecem tão bom quanto soam, kimer apesar de ter virado 0-3 pra 4-3 é topo da pool, não deveria ter sofrido tanto e isso prejudicou o time cedo, o Mirai foi o contrário, foi um Deus no começo do tour indo 3-0 se não me engano, e depois as derrotas começaram a chegar. No geral o time parecia bem fraco, alguns slots duvidosos vingaram, a maioria nem tanto e alguns consolidados que eram pra ter sido extra-classe pecaram na season.

Tldr:
-Time honestamente fraco, muito slot fraco, mesmo alguns vingando não foi suficiente pra compensar os poucos consolidados indo mal
-Seraphz 13k 2 jogos LOOOOOOL
-Lithium washed e Junin watched (kkkkk tendeu?)

Óbvio que é kimercat

Antes de tudo, obrigado a todos pelo torneio e pela oportunidade de managear nele, me divirto bastante e por envolver a comunidade ptBR, participar dele significa muito pra mim

shoutouts

GUZOT fate1q sensacional participar de uma PTPL com vocês por N motivos, acredito que fizemos um ótimo trabalho pra a primeira vez desse trio, erramos bastante e tivemos alguns desentendimentos e no fim do dia, foi exatamente oque esperávamos ser, um time resenha e que tentasse o possível. Fate, pelo amor de Deus, confia mais no time e se esforça mais nas preps, você não tem limitação nisso, você sempre fala que não se importa muito com nada, mas com certeza dorme pensando nas matchups e sonha com o mísero jogo que fará na week 15 da PTPL 27. Você teve um ótimo desenvolvimento nos últimos tempos, principalmente no último ano, espero te ver na SCL, caso os managers safados façam o dever de casa e cumpram com suas humildes palavras

A Hero's Destiny uma das coisas mais importantes pra mim foi você nos salvar em algumas substituições (principalmente na week 1 que nossos adversários tiveram a pouca vergonha de fazer oque fizeram), a presença no chat e o auxílio no chat de SM foi ótimo

angolano06 um dos jogadores que eu prometi ajudar de alguma forma desde que voltei a jogar mons em 2025, desde então você vem se mostrando bastante promissor no cenário, você gosta de melhorar e acho que isso é a sua maior qualidade, um pouco preguiçoso em muitos momentos, mas a dopamina do Valorant é mais forte que a do PS, completamente entendível. Foi um ótimo slot speaker para o time e com certeza draftaria você novamente, seja para SV RU ou outras tiers

beto cachinhos eae primo, infelizmente não ganhamos, mas eu falei pra você que levaria os Toxtricities pros playoffs, espero que você ainda continue jogando mons de vez em quando, mesmo que a cada duas ou três semanas diga que está quitando do jogo e que está sem muita vontade de participar. Você foi muito bem pro slot de SM OU, contrariando completamente ao que as vozes do belíssimo discord da roompt dizem

Cyrakii mais um slot incrível, infelizmente você sofreu um pouco com o RNG, mas isso faz parte do jogo, temos que conviver com isso. Mesmo caso do beto, contrariando tudo e todos você mostrou que pode render nesse tipo de torneio, obrigado por querer jogar conosco, estávamos bastante pensativos sobre o slot de UU pré-auction e você ter considerado nosso time e somente ele, foi sensacional, algumas infelizes situações impediram você ter um desempenho melhor ainda, mas fizemos bem mesmo assim, espero jogar contigo denovo cyrakão

DD Joe simplesmente DARAGON DANCE JONATHAN, tysm for accepting our invite. You’re an amazing person, and it was great playing with you, I’d always heard great things about you, but experiencing it firsthand was even better. I hope you had fun with us, even though the time we spent together was short. Also, I hope things get better and look forward to hearing good news, my friend.

EmbCPT é como eu te disse Edu, tua presença e impacto no time são e foram sensacionais, muito obrigado por aceitar o retain e jogar conosco, feito admirável devido ao cenário em que você se encontra kkkkkkk, que você tenha se divertido e espero que a pool da PTPL deste ano tenha contribuído ao menos que um pouco nas suas preparações para o Worlds, caso você vá jogar

glass shadows siento que no hemos podido sacar lo mejor de ti. Eres, sin duda, uno de los jugadores más dedicados que he conocido, y eso te admiro mucho. Tu score no refleja el jugador que eres, especialmente en los games que perdiste, que fueron muy close. Espero que los managers de la SCL se informen bien y vean el potencial que has demostrado este año

Going Hard ciao my friend, thx for the atmosphere and support in the SV slots. I wish I’d managed to get you playing at some point, but the many tricky situations we found ourselves in got in the way. I drafted a lot of people for this tournament, anticipating that some might lose interest in other events and we’d eventually need subs. I hope you had fun with us, even just as a helper and spect, who knows, maybe we’ll play in a tour together soon

hammy3581 bro u're amazing, you have great ideas and solid builds of the tier. You've rly been standing out this year, I'd say you're one of the underdogs. You might not get mentioned as much since you aren't currently in the spotlight, but you're definitely a rising name, especially in monotype. Thx for playing with us, and I hope you had fun

Hats wsup bro chapéus, my friend! Thx for playing with us. We rly should have sought out more support so you wouldn't have been so overwhelmed in your slot (since you were splitting your attention with the UPL), but with those shameless scoundrels all helping each other out, we ended up running out of people to call on.

Heni-san man, u're a great builder, I really like your playstyle, and you're one of the reasons we made it to the semifinals. You saved us last week and made a huge impact on the team, whether playing or helping out with RU, NU, and the like. Things didn't go exactly as we’d hoped, but I think we had a great run, I hope you enjoyed your time with us and come back in future years

Irene un viejo amigo habló muy bien de ti, así que decidimos que ese sería nuestro nombre en SS. Gracias por jugar con nosotros y por tu buen desempeño, incluso si simplemente desapareciste durante algunas semanas . Tuviste una gran presencia en el chat y jugaste muy bien, espero que podamos volver a jugar juntos

JeoZ la cabra, fuiste nuestra nom final en la auction a petición de Beto, nos salvaste en varias sustituciones y nos brindaste una gran ayuda. Gracias por mantenerte en SV PU mientras Joe no pudo jugar. Incluso te pido disculpas por haberte hecho jugar en una tier que ni siquiera te correspondía jajaja. Espero volver a jugar contigo, pero en SS OU, monotype, LC, algo así

juleocesar um dos nossos slots de monotype, uma pena não ter tido tempo de participar na última PTPL, com certeza seria um dos nomes que visaríamos, obrigado pela interação no chat e salvar nos ajustes de lineup sempre que precisávamos subar algum speaker e consequentemente inverter nosso slot de Monotype para manter a escalação sólida, espero que tenha se divertido conosco e que a gente volte a jogar denovo

Mister McLovin eeeee McLovin amigao, creo que compartes muchas de las cosas que dije sobre Glass, te enfrentaste a rivales difíciles, y eso afectó tu score. En fin, te agradezco mucho que hayas aceptado jugar con nosotros, e incluso en algunas situaciones complicadas (como aceptar jugar en SV PU a pesar de tener poco contacto con ese tier), el apoyo en UU fue fundamental después de unas semanas. Sin duda, tuvo un impacto positivo, no era tu función, no te lo pidieron y lo hiciste espontáneamente. Gracias

Osipova slt Noa, você é muito foda mano! We made a HUGE mistake not picking you up in the auction, you definitely deserved more time playing with us, great preparation and chat presence. I hope you had as much fun as we did. Let's play a few more tournaments together, man. If the PTSL comes back, we'll have to make sure you're on the NEYMARSHADOWS draft plan

spell I hope you had fun with us, good luck in the upcoming tournaments.

Tempo di anguria sandiaaaa, gracias por salvarnos durante tantas semanas. Tu actuación en este torneo fue espectacular y, aunque muchas voces de otros equipos me dijeron que no te fichara, no me arrepiento en absoluto. Tuviste una gran PTPL y una increíble WCop. Lamentablemente, no ganamos la PTPL como lo hizo LATAM en la WC, pero fue una gran run. El siguiente paso debería ser REMARTE en la EPL, SI vas a jugar

Amomeupaieminhamae não conseguimos ter você no time por muito tempo, faz parte, acontece, resta nos enfrentarmos ou jogarmos juntos na PTSL (se é que esse tour vai acontecer), boa sorte em tudo que for jogar e continue se divertindo no jogo, pq no fim do dia essa é uma das poucas coisas que realmente importa

Obviously, I can't post shoutouts without thanking our helpers

Patatexv you piece of shit! You're an amazing guy, thx for agreeing to help us out. You've been with me since the PTPL days, and I trust you implicitly when it comes to SV OU, you haven't just helped me, but a lot of my friends too. I want to see you qualify for this OLT and make it into the SCL. All the best to us, brother, I'm still coming to France, because you owe me some croissants and some fancy cheese from near your place

Lambovino Bloshh it's impossible to mention one without the other: you two, along with Joe, form something similar to the monster trio of Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, I just don't know exactly who each one is . Your presence in the PU chat was great, ty you for helping us even when Joe wasn't there, I rly appreaciate that. You three are great people, and I hope to play more tournaments with you. It was truly a lot of fun, and I'll definitely steal some teams from that chat and hunt you down in some PU individuals

C0nfiden1 0yster hey there friend! Thx for joining our RU chat. Theoretically, we would have run a different lineup for some of the weeks, but destiny had other plans, the guy who called you as a helper was basically wiped out of existence due to sheer stupidity lol. Still, I appreciate you sticking with us, and I hope you had a good time with the whole group

mipc obrigado por aceitar ser nosso helper, você foi um dos inúmeros nomes que foram amaldiçoados com times horríveis nesta PTPL, meus pêsames. Vamos jogar mais alguns torneios juntos e vamos acabar copando, acredito que você é um dos, senão o mais novo brasileiro indo bem no fórum, meus parabéns mano

Leroipolux thx for helping us out, especially Sandia. In theory, we would have had you on the team, but things got in the way, that’s just how it goes. In some other universe, it actually happens, and we become the hypothetical "Super Toxtricities", undefeated tournament winners who didn't drop a single week and swept the semis and finals 12x0. Jokes aside, u’re a great player, and I think this PTPL helped me trust you more

Ming549 mann, you’re a great presence in the chat, an amazing helper, and a fantastic person. Thx for being with us for this tournament, I hope we play in another one together down the line. Also, I remember hopping on a call with you, I think it was during the RUCL, just chatting one random night, and I had no idea who "tsky" was on Smogon. Up until last year, everyone (or at least in my head) thought you were Chinese because of your username. Then Angolano said he was going to bring in Ming as the RU helper, I thought that was cool, like, "that'd be great", but then "tsky" shows up instead, and I was totally lost. It took me like five minutes to process it all, it was wild lfmao

Feitan_allt VascoAbsolute ZDen Hoennseptile guys, I didn't rly get to spend much time with you, so I don't have much to say other than to ty for agreeing to help us. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the finals, where we could have really shined and used some insane builds

Até que foi um shoutout curto, gostaria de escrever isso ao ganhar o torneio, mas não foi possível, também não me arrependo nenhum pouco da nossa run, serviu para aprender e confirmar algumas ideias, gosto desse entrosamento que os teamtours nos proporcionam, ainda mais de managear e sempre que possível, levar holofotes aos jogadores que merecem, além de fazer o possível para que os jogadores rendam ao seu melhor nível

Que tenhamos uma ótima final e no próximo ano melhoremos o cenário pt/br, principalmente para nós mesmos e também não o apodrecermos mais ainda ou ser mais mal vistos por N motivos. Uma boa sorte aos Jirachis e as Starmies, que vençam os que melhor se prepararem

 

[CarTulo]

Junin aumentou minhas suspeitas de que ele so tenha sido ghostado na RUPL mesmo (o fato dele estar lá por si só já eh suspeito)

Tldr:
-Lithium washed e Junin watched (kkkkk tendeu?)

Por obséquio FeLipeZ, não compare meu filho Junho com os jogadores pífios deste fórum que são ghostados, concordo que o score foi completamente abaixo do esperado, principalmente pelo valor pago nele, acabou que essa PTPL ele jogou oque sabe, infelizmente ele não sabe muito... pode chamar ele de ruim, pode chamar de pxbr, pode chamar de carioca, mas as crias do meu daycare não fodem com ghosting.

[KniY]

@KniY na boa, vc foi meu mental check o tour inteiro. Vlw por estar nas minhas dms me escutando lentamente quebrando qnd o time parecia desmoronar, ajuda mt mais doq parece. N me arrependo nem um pouco de te comprar, e perdao n ter podido te slottar tirando em fodendo sv ou

Foi um prazer enorme estar na sua equipe, e mesmo com uma eliminação dura, ter chegado pela primeira vez nos playoffs com você sendo meu capitão foi algo muito daora pra mim, fico feliz em saber que te ajudei quando precisava, queria poder fazer mais, mas fico feliz em saber que consegui ajudar a equipe de certa forma, mas vendo você atuar como manager, me fez perceber que é um dos melhores da comunidade inteira. ainda mais sabendo todas as dificuldades que passamos por essa competição.
e sobre me colocar pra jogar SV OU (que pareceu mais um castigo, um tipo de punição ou coisa do tipo), fez eu positivar mais uma PTPL, bem... de uma maneira bem XD

AstradiaPL was that experience for me, where id get closer with @KniY, @Cyrakii, @Cloudznn, @angolano06, @glowbrogang, @kimer and many more people id consider legitimate friends nowadays.

AstradiaPL vive em nós, inclusive Cyrakii vamo fazer quando? precisamos ver o time das Glaceons lutando pelo título de novo!
mas tmj demais Nasir, espero que isso não seja um Adeus e sim apenas um Até Logo.

 

[angolano06]

Eu vou sentir muita falta do meu novo amigao Osipova, vc é meu novo irmao do peito.

 

[Osipova]

CarTulo GUZOT fate1q meus irmãos, nem sei o que dizer, de tão grato que estou por terem confiado em mim a meio do torneio. espero que tenham adorado ver-me jogar (mesmo que eu tenha perdido uma vez)

muito obrigado por esta oportunidade, foi uma das minhas melhores experiências num torneio. o ambiente foi fantástico e estávamos sempre a motivar-nos uns aos outros. seria um enorme prazer voltar a participar num torneio com todos vocês, porque são fantásticos

estou triste por já ter chegado ao fim para nós, mas no próximo ano vamos ganhar a PTPL, sem qualquer dúvida!!!!!

angolano06 meu irmão, a nossa aventura juntos está apenas a começar, quando participarmos noutro torneio juntos, seremos imbatíveis
no próximo ano, vamos ganhar este torneio e não lhes daremos qualquer hipótese, prometo-te

NOUS REVIENDRONS.

 

[Heni-san]

vamos!

 

[SouCarlos]

Essa foi minha última, agradeço ai a galera q jogou

Ano que vem você ta ai denovo fate

Carta, ou sei lá oq é isso, para meu time Medicham Kicks.

Eu gosto muito de participar da PTPL (praticamente único tour que jogo na smogon), e desde que eu comecei a pegar esse time com meu amigo macumbeiro, neoliberal e usurpador de impostos, Envy , o torneio passou a ser mais especial ainda. Vou tentar falar dos players aí embaixo e é isso.

Miraiii Vai tomar no cu, não usou um time que eu te dei e ficou levando times esquisitos. Se seguisse minha call, vc ia 9x0 nesse tour com a gente campeão, nem sei como vc conseguiu ficar positivo usando essas porcarias. Você é o melhor da história, te amo.

Envy Obrigado por me chamar dnv pro time. Você é um dos melhores amigos que já fiz nesse universo de pokemon, e desde o Cinnabar (melhor torneio da história da humanidade) já tava meio claro que você ia virar um dos melhores players que tem aí no seu bairro. Os melhores tours que joguei foi com você e vou tá torcendo pra você passar o carro na SCL ou qualquer outra coisa que você fizer.

Pausa, pq já tô ficando cansado.

kimer Desde o Cinnabar a gente (eu, envy e mirai) queríamos muito jogar com vc dnv. Muito orgulhoso do player que você se tornou pq vc era muito ruim naquela época, meu Deus do céu, e clutchou contra o toinha haxeando até a alma dele. Se não te comprarem SCL, eles são burros igual os caras do baril que não te convocaram.

NinjaCaro Meu lcpl champion. Cara, você é muito bom. Te tacamos só em slot de sacrifício e mesmo assim vc conseguiu se sair bem. Muito legal de ter vc no time mano. Na real eu nem lembro mais quando a gente se conheceu, mas parece q já tem muito tempo e você é um baita amigo e tenho ctz que se quiser jogar mais nesse site você vai rebentar geral. TUFF.

Vou pros pdl agora, que, por sinal, fico muito triste vendo q o server da pdl tá ficando mais parado.

Braga Vc é parça faz tempo e é muito boa em NU (lá ele). Quando a gente te comprou na primeira ptpl por 3k, foi a melhor compra do tour e o retain, com certeza, valeu a pena, vc joga demais e é muito bom ter você no chat. Espero jogar mais tours com vc no futuro. Se num futuro a gente tiver no mesmo time, só vou te dar block do chat de monotype mesmo pra vc parar de barrar mono elétrico. Né não NinjaCaro, quem não ouve a música acha que o cara que quem tá dançando é louco ou algo assim.

dog mendigoso Valeu por jogar com nois dnv e apesar de estar trabalhando numa mina de urânio por indicação do Miraiii, vc conseguiu um bom score em uma das tiers mais difíceis e ajudou nois a sonhar. Sempre bom jogar com vc meu parceiro desejo tudo de bom pra vc.

Nanandes Não vou mentir franandes, quando eu vi suas 2 primeiras performances eu já tava desacreditado e falei pro Envy que você não ia tankar o nível do tour. Mas eu sou burro, você é bom demais e muito obrigado por ter jogado o torneio da forma que você fez, provavelmente o cara que mais preppou no nosso time, e isso resultou em um ótimo torneio pra vc. Te queríamos desde a ptpl passada pra jogar VGC e você não decepcionou. Tamo junto, meu parceiro, vc além de bom player é uma ótima pessoa.

Fim dos pdl jogantes.

Fusien you're the perfect player. Thanks for playing with us and carrying this bunch of morons.

PoseidonWrath We picked you up so Envy wouldn't be guaranteed a loss in the tournament, haha. We’d already played in the last OUFL together (you, me, and Ninja Caro), but this tournament gave me the chance to get to know you better; beyond your great performance in a tough tier like SV OU, you’re an awesome teammate who brings a unique, positive energy.

Kafkafka Thanks for playing with us and for helping Wrath out at times, and sorry we couldn't find a helper for you.

JuninxZ9 Lithium Obrigado por terem participado, não foi da forma como a gente queria, mas vcs ajudaram o time e JuninxZ9 valeu por ajudar nos scouts nas últimas weeks. Com certeza na próxima vai ser diferente, pois vcs são bons e só deram azar com as coisas e não conseguimos dar um suporte tão bom nessa tier de RU pra vcs. Valeu, pessoal.

seraphz A gente confiou que íamos estar vivos até vc conseguir jogar, tipo o Brasil sem Neymar, e até conseguimos, só q aí pipocamos na última partida pra ir pros poffs. Valeu por jogar com nois e ajudar o NC em PU. Você é viltrumita.

notlena Obrigado por participar, vc é muito legal e tem um bom clique. Com certeza vai conseguir ganhar muita coisa ainda se quiser. Espero poder ver mais partidas suas.

Dragon Expert Soma valeu ai pela única win de monotype que a gente teve no torneio.

Agora sim, os verdadeiros goats (helpers).

Yttoshirib Q porra de foto de kangaskhan é essa carai? Você é o mvp do nosso time mano. Obrigado por ajudar tanto desde o kimer até outros slots. Uma pena vc não ter conseguido pegar time e a gente ter falhado em te dar retain na fase final ali pros poffs. Impossível vc não participar da próxima, pq vc é craque e um dos melhores teammates q já tive.

Pissuinha El tocador de Botones, meu goat. Obrigado por ajudar o nanandes. Você é craque, e o score nosso de vgc com ctz seria diferente se não fosse sua ajuda.

Sussaix Obrigado por ajudar a braga em NU e outros slots. Tô no seu time da papoi pl e esse a gente vai copar com ctz. Vc é craque.

JustHK Que saudade do que a gente viveu, q eu te dava a arma e vc fazia o serviço.

Plague obrigado pelos times que dropou no chat de svou o pai ja ta com 1900 de ladder e subindo igual foguete da nasa, embora aterra seja plana. CHAMA.

Enfim, é isso galera obrigado pelo torneio vcs são tops.

 

[Envy]

Vc eh meu irmao

 

[beto cachinhos]

Obrigado pelo tour donphans, perdao se eu n fiz suficiente. Eu dei meu melhor. Eu gostava de fazer meu postzinho de shoutouts, mesmo perdendo o torneio. Foi um bom tour. Obrigado a todos.

Msousa eu prometi-te que iamos managear juntos este ano. Ambos cumprimos essa promessa. Podemos ter perdido, mas pelo menos poffs fizemos e eu tenho 0 arrependimentos quanto a nossa auction. Obriago pelo tour irmão, e foi triste que tenhas ficado sem pc durante boa parte dele. N vou olhar ao teu score, tu sabes mt bem o que penso de ti como player e isto não muda nada

leoperi obrigado por aceitar ser nosso terceiro comanager. Vc n foi o mais ativo, mas era o esperado e foi uma boa presenca no chat e boa escolha de comanager.

purbaj thank you my friend for all the help behind the scenes. Couldnt have made it so far without you, and im sorry it didnt lead to a victory. Hope you have a great scl though, amazing and super proud to see you there. If you need anything of me, you know you have my dms open for you always. Also great recommendation in me empty

wssi vlw pela ajuda geral na prep. Perdao ter tido de te subbar. mas sua prep, por mais que tenha todo o meme, foi genuinamente valiosa e o um dos motivos pelo qual chegamos onde chegamos, principalmente in lt's

LB wish you were in a better mental state for this tour my brother. I knew i wanted a repeat of our PTSL SV OU core, i knew you guys would cook. Unfortunately, didnt work quite the same way, but thats alright. not all decisions can be successful. wish you the best of luck for OLT friend, go beat them.

Calmmind75 obrigado por manter meu mental são durante o tour e pela performance amigo. Eu sabia que tinha que te comprar e que me traria resultados. infelizmente n te dei a PTPL, mas vc vai chegar bem mais longe do que esse torneio. Vc eh um player fenomenal e amigo melhor ainda, uma honra jogar a seu lado

Kyogrus24 the vgc goat. I knew i could always count on you to get a win when it mattered and it is not a coincidence our VGC slot was our most positive one over the tour in general. I didnt know you before this, but i can confidently say youre an amazing player who will do everything in his power to win, all the while maintaining an amazing chat atmosphere. Thank you for tagging along on the journey, all the success to you in your future endeavors friend

HardFreaQ desculpa ter de te benchar quase a season toda amigo, mas espero, e parece-me, que te tenhas divertido. Obg por te teres inscrevido quando te pedi, ver tu e o kyogrus a trabalharem juntos tao bem foi algo maravilhoso e hey, 2-0 fica bonito. Boa sorte pros proximos tours e vida pessoal mano, foi um prazer jogar contigo, otimas vibes e otima gameplay

haxlolo dont beat yourself up over your performance in the later weeks, everyone can go through bad gameplay patches, happens. Ty for playing with us, my twin, it was amazing teaming up with you in this tour and i hope youloved being in it as much as we loved having you. Unfortunately, you didnt get your so deserved x-0

toinha wssi preps. Simplesmente o homem em SV RU. PRa setimo melhor da pool, acho q fizemos a escolha certa. N deixe se abater pela derrota final, todos temos games ruins ate soulwind chokou game decisivo wcop- e tudo q vc fez pelo time vale mais doq uma simples loss. Obrigado por nos acompanhar e por ser esse player e pessoa foda q vc eh

5MGMatthew5 my friend, i knew i needed you tos tart in NU here, no matter what people thought. It was amazing teaming up with you matt, and i hope you had fun and are happy with your season, it was an amazing one to follow. Gl in future endeavors

Me Empty ty purbaj for recommending me the PU goat. Unfort your result didnt follow your skill or tier knowledge, but i hope you liked tagging along for the ride

KniY na boa, vc foi meu mental check o tour inteiro. Vlw por estar nas minhas dms me escutando lentamente quebrando qnd o time parecia desmoronar, ajuda mt mais doq parece. N me arrependo nem um pouco de te comprar, e perdao n ter podido te slottar tirando em fodendo sv ou

Fernanch bem, n foi vc chokando a semis dessa vez. Brincadeiras a parte, definitivamente um dos players dos donphans que eu mais queria de volta, acredito mt noq vejo de vc como player e espero ver cada vez mais. Um prazer jogar c vc dnv

hxmo View attachment 856172 (brincadeiras a parte, obrigado por jogar mesmo com o irl na merda praticamente o tour inteiro,3k hxmo foi um roubo e eh pena q n deu pra mostrar isso tao bem como deveria)

Wincon i got absolutely enamored witht he way you prep for mono for the entire tour, sad that the results didnt reflect the effort you were putting in, even if themselves werent bad at all. Youre a very good player and it was a pleasure getting to know you

Ikaishi nothing more to say than that im happy i drafted the best SS OU player in the tour. You werent the most active, but i knew i could trust you to put in the performance id expect from a name such as yours. Hope you liked tagging along for the ride and good luck with future yours, youre a stellar player really

tokyo prison ty for your performance, you almost gave me multiple heart attacks during the tour but you also won when we needed you to the most and thats all we could ask. Was an honor playing with you

Fdmw sry for benching you the entire season, really only drafted you because undrafted kyrius is absolutely criminal, and its unfortunate you had to land on the team with ikaishi in the one slot you wanted

PixelBob you really cant catch a break uh. the luck on your games was just ass man, wish you coulve shown more of how good of a player you are, but ty for playing for us, always nice to team up with a friend

4tup desculpa ter tido de te dar sellback, esperava poder mostrar ao mundo outra vez o teu nivel como jogador, mas a vida tinha outros planos para ti

Proszz desculpa n te draftar inicialmente, e obrigado pro teres dado o teu maximo para ajudar a team quando te juntaste a noz, fizeste uam diferenca enorme mesmo que tenhas benchado praticamente a season toda

Caesarr l4d2 quando?

um rapido shoutout aos helpers tambem, xonks OceanicGamer FishyRoads im_m0rtal. magma_man EC presi fate1q Platum Braga #1RantaroFan , vcs sao foda, e em especial pra Vii-samba por me ajudar pessoalmente como um constante mental check

No mais, eh isso ai msm, obrigado pela season Donphans, perdao por n vos levar ao topo.

for the people that are here specifically for me and not ptpl, this is for you. The others, the PTPL part is above

If you are reading this, im asuming you care enough about me to care about reading what im asuming is a wall of rambling, semi-coherent text about personal stuff that does not pertain to the tournament at all. I will be writing this in english, since its more accessible for the people i want to read it, se você não entende inglês, perdão, por favor usa o tradutor. I have been playing this game for what amounts to about 3 years by this point, and while i expected it to last longer, i feel this is the final stop. As many of you might know, I have planned to retire from the game for a while, in particular my tipping point was the UCL auction, whicxh is a hella silly tipping point if i am to be completely honest. Truthfully, i feel i have done all i need to do in this community, with some notable exceptions. I also feel that i both have not been having fun with the game and it has been overall negative to my mental health. As such, you may take this as my personal retirement post from mons. This has nothing to do with losing or winning PTPL, as the people that are aware as more than a passing thing are aware, i have always planned to retire after this tournament. This is, to be clear, not my final tournament, however, the ones i will play from now on are very specific: DNUPL, if that happens, is one i want to manage with Zpice. WCoP 2027, if team Portugal wants me back and hasnt moved on from me by then, i wish to play/manage in. I obviously plan to finish RCoP and BOUPL, and if Purbaj still wants to take my promisse up we can manage a tour together, i hate breaking promisses like that. But thats it. No more mons after, during or before this point. after wcop 27, i should fully vanish from the game, at most stay around talking with friends and occasionally ladder. This isnt a spurt of the moment decision, this has been planned for months now. With all of that said, i think i woudl do my friends a disservice by not saying goodbye. I will do it in a sort of "era" thing. so here it comes. Thank you all, first off, for havig accompanied me on this journey, you truly are fantastic.

I must start with 35 really was my first home in this community, people like NotGerald and Ryu09 helped me feel welcome and feel part of something new and exciting. I had some fun running stuff with Ember Celica aswell, even if we arent on the best of terms now, thank you for the ride. Ive made friends for life there, be it my pt speaking friend eambplsl, the great oct gang of bigshoota and Riki/Poisany or the ones that came after, like @carnivore05, Maszt, BellUno, MamboTND, presi, mmtaccos, Bizounounours, Laviecestdure, terribleplayer17 and so, so many more. I must also bring up my great time in PDL, with amazing folk such as reality, @azurious StanTerhoeve28 and 7ayakum. It truly was a different time, less smogon politics bs, less stakes, less having to care about cheaters unless they were that one who was cheating on their gf, i had no idea what was to come.

It is here i start branching out, and really i only got anywhere due to team pt. In particular, i gotta thank Ulti Bastion, Frixel, sayyonara, Hueco, Bdd, Minatevis, I Feel Stabby, BAGANHA13 and BannedList for being generally awesome people (well except for yato, hes more fun). I must also mention the [REDACTED]cord, where ive made so many lifelong friends, like qbking3, OceanicGamer, FishyRoads and IncredibleKing who i absolutely love nowadays. By this time, i still had no clear path, I stumbled around looking for my place. With that, i landed in the PTPL chat, and started slowly pushing myself into stuff and making my mark, meeting people like Astarion, NaokiSeven, Sr. Regigigas and Leafium Z, being also the time when landoheimer died and got replaced by Nasir, you can blame Envy for that , going even into evopl soon after, where i made great friends like my brother beto cachinhos, Miraiii, Coffy and my formerly great friend ExguardiaN who, despite me being on bad terms with now, is someone id creditwith much of my development in this community for a while. It is also when i get dragged into the more raw side of the speaker community, with the smaller players and stuff. AstradiaPL was that experience for me, where id get closer with KniY, Cyrakii, Cloudznn, angolano06, glowbrogang, kimer and many more people id consider legitimate friends nowadays.

I think id only get a clear path during UUFPL, where i helped what would become some of my favourite people on the site. haxlolo, jawabarat, igiveuponaname, Maris Bonibelle and amny others who made up the battlegirls really gave me a way foward into the world of smogon and expanded my horizons. Id play then in ORAS Under right after, something i have to thank my great friend CarTulo for allowing em to do. I think its here i create my own character, separate from 35, or the sub 9 which i have no reason outside of abra xdd (s/o abrinha) to mention. I would play in many other tournaments after, but nothing of note except that i would keep growing my name. NasirPL was a thing that happened and thats all i can say about it. At this point, i feel like i was just a silently consistent player whenever i played, nothing more.

the end of 25 and start of 26 feels like a breath of fresh air, with me meeting so many people and joining so many new cool jerks. cugang, with my goats 4tup ZombieEyeZ im_m0rtal. Incognition Cluelessmagnet Proszz Regiboob and so many others, not to speak of a great PTSL win along side many of the people mentioned above in the PTPL section, with some aditions like berna-, luuanfps, Staraptor and lighthouses (+ Liemaster) that really reinforced my love for management, and was overall one of the most fun tours ive played in a while (not so subtle hint for yall MyPearl Grillo). This comes after a devastating PTPL, where people like GUZOT, DD Joe, Hats and EmbCPT were a silver lining in a pretty negative tournament when it comes to a pretty devastating tour run. Housewifes is also relevant, my second home in this community, with Poli, sheepie, sychillz, Dead by Daylight, Soda Eesti Aurist, Theycallmephil and even people like my bro Mok3s and so, so many more amazing people i love dearly. That to not speak of the many smaller communities ive joined, making tight friends as a result like SouCarlos, Luisa, PixelBob or my student kauez a bit later

This is where my story is thus far. Everyone ive mentioned above had an insanely big impact on my life and is someone i can consider to have been a good friend. This is not even an exhaustive list, making one of those without looking at everyone ive ever interacted with is a herculean task i am not ready for. While people like notlena and Sparkelz have also entered my life and are relevant, for example, i just cant mention everyone. However, for some of you that know me best, know some people are missing weirdly, as they are some of the people i cherish the most and have been the closest with in these last 3 years. even if people above play an important part on who i became, none of them are these 4 below, no amtter how much love i have for people like ocean, purbaj, lolo, jawa or tup.

Msousa ive called you my brother in the mons community enough times by now for it to not be a joke. you have always been my rock and closest friend, be it in the old days of making wigglytuff sun in march24, up to managing PTPL with me. You know me better than anyone else and i dont think i need to tell anyone this but you. Ly sousa, never change, keep being the amazing friend you have been, you are and always will be. If theres anyone i know i can have long technical talks with, i know its you, and theres only one person i know calls out my bs when i need it xd

Finchely fin the lee, finnicky, friendly, finnish lee, or simply finchy. You make sure my mind is sane every time, laugh with me, cry with me and have always comemorated my accomplishment like no one else. Youre my sister in this mons community, we might play fight everywhere and be silly, but at the end of the day we care for each other and theres nothing that makes me happier than see that youre well. ly finchy, keep being the you we all know and love.

Zpice you knew your mention was coming. It was hard not mentioning you witht he battlegirls, or the housewifes, or how youre pretty much the reason why i held on for so long in this community. You believed in me when no one else did. You saw the spark i was missing, and worked with me to become the best version of myself i ever could be. Youre one of the most trustworthy people i know, and one of the people i have the most gratitude for in my entire life. Thank you for all youve ever done for me, and for being a fucking awesome friend who i can always rely on

Calmmind75 s/o McBruh for presenting to me what is one of the most lively people i know, a great friend with a good heart and a very fun personality, who i know i can have both deep convos with and just have fun and chill, depending on what its needed. Someone i know will accept any cool idea i have, go for the silly route every time and be the absolute best bro ever. Ty for sticking around calm,a nd your future in this game will shine brighter than what people might think right now

Vii-samba obligatory vii ping, ty girl for always making sure my mind is in check and putting up with my mons bs while giving me awesome advice, youre a real one

Ty for reading this semi-coherent ramble yall, Nasir signing out, if youre still reading here, go play 35 oct-b or something, meta is fucking sweet

Carta, ou sei lá oq é isso, para meu time Medicham Kicks.

Eu gosto muito de participar da PTPL (praticamente único tour que jogo na smogon), e desde que eu comecei a pegar esse time com meu amigo macumbeiro, neoliberal e usurpador de impostos, Envy , o torneio passou a ser mais especial ainda. Vou tentar falar dos players aí embaixo e é isso.

Miraiii Vai tomar no cu, não usou um time que eu te dei e ficou levando times esquisitos. Se seguisse minha call, vc ia 9x0 nesse tour com a gente campeão, nem sei como vc conseguiu ficar positivo usando essas porcarias. Você é o melhor da história, te amo.

Envy Obrigado por me chamar dnv pro time. Você é um dos melhores amigos que já fiz nesse universo de pokemon, e desde o Cinnabar (melhor torneio da história da humanidade) já tava meio claro que você ia virar um dos melhores players que tem aí no seu bairro. Os melhores tours que joguei foi com você e vou tá torcendo pra você passar o carro na SCL ou qualquer outra coisa que você fizer.

Pausa, pq já tô ficando cansado.

kimer Desde o Cinnabar a gente (eu, envy e mirai) queríamos muito jogar com vc dnv. Muito orgulhoso do player que você se tornou pq vc era muito ruim naquela época, meu Deus do céu, e clutchou contra o toinha haxeando até a alma dele. Se não te comprarem SCL, eles são burros igual os caras do baril que não te convocaram.

NinjaCaro Meu lcpl champion. Cara, você é muito bom. Te tacamos só em slot de sacrifício e mesmo assim vc conseguiu se sair bem. Muito legal de ter vc no time mano. Na real eu nem lembro mais quando a gente se conheceu, mas parece q já tem muito tempo e você é um baita amigo e tenho ctz que se quiser jogar mais nesse site você vai rebentar geral. TUFF.

Vou pros pdl agora, que, por sinal, fico muito triste vendo q o server da pdl tá ficando mais parado.

Braga Vc é parça faz tempo e é muito boa em NU (lá ele). Quando a gente te comprou na primeira ptpl por 3k, foi a melhor compra do tour e o retain, com certeza, valeu a pena, vc joga demais e é muito bom ter você no chat. Espero jogar mais tours com vc no futuro. Se num futuro a gente tiver no mesmo time, só vou te dar block do chat de monotype mesmo pra vc parar de barrar mono elétrico. Né não NinjaCaro, quem não ouve a música acha que o cara que quem tá dançando é louco ou algo assim.

dog mendigoso Valeu por jogar com nois dnv e apesar de estar trabalhando numa mina de urânio por indicação do Miraiii, vc conseguiu um bom score em uma das tiers mais difíceis e ajudou nois a sonhar. Sempre bom jogar com vc meu parceiro desejo tudo de bom pra vc.

Nanandes Não vou mentir franandes, quando eu vi suas 2 primeiras performances eu já tava desacreditado e falei pro Envy que você não ia tankar o nível do tour. Mas eu sou burro, você é bom demais e muito obrigado por ter jogado o torneio da forma que você fez, provavelmente o cara que mais preppou no nosso time, e isso resultou em um ótimo torneio pra vc. Te queríamos desde a ptpl passada pra jogar VGC e você não decepcionou. Tamo junto, meu parceiro, vc além de bom player é uma ótima pessoa.

Fim dos pdl jogantes.

Fusien you're the perfect player. Thanks for playing with us and carrying this bunch of morons.

PoseidonWrath We picked you up so Envy wouldn't be guaranteed a loss in the tournament, haha. We’d already played in the last OUFL together (you, me, and Ninja Caro), but this tournament gave me the chance to get to know you better; beyond your great performance in a tough tier like SV OU, you’re an awesome teammate who brings a unique, positive energy.

Kafkafka Thanks for playing with us and for helping Wrath out at times, and sorry we couldn't find a helper for you.

JuninxZ9 @sejalaqualforo@dalithiumnãoachei Obrigado por terem participado, não foi da forma como a gente queria, mas vcs ajudaram o time e JuninxZ9 valeu por ajudar nos scouts nas últimas weeks. Com certeza na próxima vai ser diferente, pois vcs são bons e só deram azar com as coisas e não conseguimos dar um suporte tão bom nessa tier de RU pra vcs. Valeu, pessoal.

seraphz A gente confiou que íamos estar vivos até vc conseguir jogar, tipo o Brasil sem Neymar, e até conseguimos, só q aí pipocamos na última partida pra ir pros poffs. Valeu por jogar com nois e ajudar o NC em PU. Você é viltrumita.

notlena Obrigado por participar, vc é muito legal e tem um bom clique. Com certeza vai conseguir ganhar muita coisa ainda se quiser. Espero poder ver mais partidas suas.

Dragon Expert Soma valeu ai pela única win de monotype que a gente teve no torneio.

Agora sim, os verdadeiros goats (helpers).

Yttoshirib Q porra de foto de kangaskhan é essa carai? Você é o mvp do nosso time mano. Obrigado por ajudar tanto desde o kimer até outros slots. Uma pena vc não ter conseguido pegar time e a gente ter falhado em te dar retain na fase final ali pros poffs. Impossível vc não participar da próxima, pq vc é craque e um dos melhores teammates q já tive.

Pissuinha El tocador de Botones, meu goat. Obrigado por ajudar o nanandes. Você é craque, e o score nosso de vgc com ctz seria diferente se não fosse sua ajuda.

Sussaix Obrigado por ajudar a braga em NU e outros slots. Tô no seu time da papoi pl e esse a gente vai copar com ctz. Vc é craque.

JustHK Que saudade do que a gente viveu, q eu te dava a arma e vc fazia o serviço.

@kaiousejalaqualforonicknãoachei. obrigado pelos times que dropou no chat de svou o pai ja ta com 1900 de ladder e subindo igual foguete da nasa, embora aterra seja plana. CHAMA.

Enfim, é isso galera obrigado pelo torneio vcs são tops.

Nois irmão

Qria agradecer ao @chatgpt por buildar meus times, e qria dizer q essa foi a pior ptpl da historia, fui roubado, fui fishado, depois fui roubado dnv, e ainda sai positivo, bati no brandonlee com folga, provei pra mim mesmo que no dia q eu n estiver em 3 empregos, tiver o leo de manager reclamando por eu nao ter um time com 6 wallbreaker e tiver um pouquinho mais de sorte e tempo, talvez ai um dia eu seja um bom jogador de pokemon, ate la vou ficar de jogador resenha mesmo

Envy leo568 kimer dog mendigoso NinjaCaro

Sempre um prazer jogar com voces, um dia dominaremos o mundo

seraphz espero q o predio q vc trabalha acabe em ruinas com o senhor dentro

Fusien goat love u bro thx for play all ur games, is something that does not happen very often on this tour :/
