Okay: Freya told me he likes when managers post summaries of the season in the commencement thread and I liked the idea so I’m going to do my best
We’re out in semis! Quiver Dancers dismantled us pretty thoroughly. They’ve got some great players and I’m excited to watch them in the finals. This was my first time managing and I put a lot of time into considering each and every single sign up (except maybe that one guy that signed up thinking it was a singles tournament). I’d like to think it turned out well! We kept it pretty competitive and got some big wins on some big players.
Obviously first place would have been ideal but I truly cannot be unhappy with how we did as a team. Going to do a little personal reflection then talk about my players.
It felt good to have a solid tournament! I think I’ve improved a lot as a player but more importantly I think I’ve improved mentally. Jake beat me in this tournament and the difference in how I handled the loss this time and the time Jake beat me in Liga was night and day. I reviewed the games and got over it instead of whatever depressive spiral I used to enter after tournament losses. Okay: now for the players. Im on mobile so if these tags don’t work I’ll be sad and I’ll fix it when I am home
O1V7O2X9O - thank you for agreeing to comanage with me and spending 6 hours in call discussing signups. I’m sorry I made you play champions at the beginning. You’re a gem of a human and I’m glad we met.
JustOut459 - We had not spoken since I attempted to sign up for RBTT with no experience at all lolll. You’re a very thoughtful person and a great player even if you go down to almost zero seconds of timer every game and stress me out.
RainListener - You are such a kind person. When Steven and I checked your ladder stats we got so hyped to draft you. Your games were always so so close. I hope you keep playing doubles tournaments
Terekusai - You might have the best alt names of anyone on this planet. You really rose to the occasion of playing best of five after I bailed on it and between World Cup and this your stock as a randbats player has never been higher.
xmarsh - I am not joking ever since I learned your first name I think about how cool it is maybe daily. You’re a clutch player. I would trust you with my life. Can’t wait to see you top cut vgc in the near future.
Amaranth - Even though you eliminated me in the open I drafted you like 2 hours later. I thought hackmons was just straight gambling until I played with you in Liga and now I realize I’m just bad at it. You certainly are not though. It’s crazy how reliable you are at that format.
sheepie - You joining and immediately asking us to make a prep channel for you was a legendary bit. You had a rough series of matches in terms of your opponents generating about every legendary in the game against you. Appreciate you staying mentally strong and getting back out there and competing every week.
bnm - I have a very strong opinion of you as a player. I think you had some unfortunate games and I wish the tournament was a bit longer so I could give you more opportunities. But anyone that’s ever played you knows you’re not an opponent they should take lightly.
Trade - I hope your job gets less stressful soon. You finding time to play all your matches despite that was greatly appreciated. You’re a hard worker and a good person and I’m excited to watch you add to your collection of custom avatars in the future.
Thanks for being valuable teammates everyone. Good luck in all your future endeavors!!
