We did it team wooooo :))) 12 weeks later! This has been an exhausting tour, from a certain unnamed 9-1 player
forgetting the name of the current gen in his signup to being forced to fight through tiebreaks in both semis and finals. It's also been super rewarding though. Learning SV RU has been super fun, and as always I've been super glad to have
Ming549 TsuShirogane leading RUtube + everyone else that has posted predicts throughout the season. Y'all made it entertaining and worth it to fight so hard, and I'm glad people enjoyed watching and following.
Shoutout to our playoff opponents too (though I recognize it's a bit corny). Guardians and Hustlers, you both pushed us to our absolute limit and either of you would've been deserving winners. Scouting for and playing against yall gave me an appreciation for how good the talent at the top of your lineups was, and how creative you were with your SV building approaches. Thanks for being gracious about my players somehow never showing up on time. To the Guardians in particular, sorry I was a pain when it came to scheduling the Umbry-Kush tiebreak game.

mncmt: Nah, we'd win. Had a blast running it back with you this tour too... SCL next? You're super funny and a massive troll but also a very talented player, and you dominated SV and SM all season. Despite not really being thought of as a RU player you came up with 2 amazing wins, saving our season vs Beraldo in an incredibly well played bo3 and taking down Attribute, who has been on fire in SS, to win the tour. As always, you also balance out my tryharding and keep the ship going steady when things get tough, and we def needed that because EVERYONE ON THIS TEAM HATES WHEN I TAG THEM. UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLES
Kushalos You're amazing, nothing else to say. Your ability to build and pilot SV RU is just 10/10, no notes. You came a long way from the
Void paraspam... with no mainers we all had to learn the tier together and you absolutely led the way on that. Your support in other slots was also excellent, and despite carrying the team you always stayed patient with people who were struggling. Thanks for caring as much as you did, depriving you off a trophy after 9 wins wouldve been horrible so congrats :)
ninjadog Awesome job this tour. We had you down for about 15k in the draft plan so getting you at 9k was awesome and gave me a lot of confidence in the team. I appreciate u somehow having almost 0 "bw moments" all tour. We gave you like 8 teams to choose from in finals tb LMFAO and you made an excellent choice. Even though u trolled on occasion your ceiling is incredible, your play against GoldCat in particular stood out as being flawless
hjkhj THE PEOPLES CHAMP!!! Thank u for giving RU a reason to root for us by being our only RU community representation. For your first time starting, going positive alone would be great, but you did well enough to go in tiebreak and then saved our season in a deciding game, 1-1 at semis tiebreak. You shed the label of "stall mainer" and piloted basically every style. Bonus points for winning in insane ways, I remember being mad as hell half-watching the week 7 terrain game in a furniture store and then you somehow swept with an alcremie. Excited to see what you accomplish going forward!
Denial I know you had a disappointing season but enjoy retirement:) your dominant 3-0 start showed everyone what you're capable of and I don't have any regrets about drafting u (win or lose). Thanks for providing lots of ORAS support early on too, and advising us to draft hjkhj as well. ZERO thanks for your sv "support" though
Fogbound Lake: Teaming with u was funny as hell tbh LMAO you asking to stall, being mad when i was against it, then stalling 3 straight weeks with THE SAME STALL and winning 2 of them. Then somehow building your own teams, all of which were really intelligently made.... which I'd appreciate more if you ever posted the pastes. Regardless, your huge win in semis kept us alive and you played great in the epic finals match. Thanks for sliding into SS and letting kush SV in the first place too
avarice another RU ring yayy:) thanks for being active with tests and juggling + keeping ORAS afloat in the regular season. Your semis win was also super important, breaking our 0-7 SV3 streak was massive. And somehow you weren't the most annoying scheduler on our team:)) so glad we got u a new experience this tour.
Yay congratulations! i cant say enough about how big that finals win was. Very glad u got to make up for the semis game which ik you were upset about. it was disappointing to have much less activity from you this year than in 2022 rupl. however I'm glad you stepped it up when asked in the playoffs and that we got to finish our journey from back then. Thanks for actually answering my q&as too i felt very lonely otherwise.
hellom i def sabotaged u a bit by not providing too much mainer support in the early weeks of SV. Glad we figured the meta out eventually but sry u had to be a guinea pig. Thank u for giving Kushalos some of your 10-1 blessing too. Also thanks for these screenshots because i was laughing at it randomly for like a week
olivebranch custom coming up

ty for the team name suggestion it's been very fun! and thanks for motivating me to learn sv ru for tests and laddering sessions this tour. sorry you got ROBBED with awful matchup in your games but your revenge will come someday.....
LBN thank you for all the help and discussions throughout the season! Really appreciated having u around to share some of your many, many ideas. I do think you can be a little abrasive/agressive and sometimes are too absolutist in ur meta takes. However you are a very helpful and dedicated teammate and it's a shame you weren't drafted this tour. I hope the budget is tweaked next RUPL -- I would def draft/vouch for you in the future and am proudly on team #FreeLBN
after starting in RU in like 2014 and returning to it when SS came out, it's very rewarding to finally win a team tour here. thanks for the fun ride crunchwraps!!
