3 years ago I was winning a tour that I aimed to conquer real hard on my second attempt, beating players I would not imagine beating at that time (i was just a random) in a run that challenged my determination, my endurance, my knowledge and my mental. That tour was an UU Classic btw and I just didn`t think I would see or have myself such an incredible and emotional run such as that again and I`m here to say I couldn`t be happier to be wrong. 3 years later in a year in which I have developed as a player and getting to know so much more people along the way, earlier in the year me and the Friends won the UUPL and I went 10-0, a mark that I truly believed that it would be the peak moment of my year playing mons and again I am so happy to be wrong.
I never expected 2024 to be the year I would accomplish something like this, I really fought for the poffs slot but taking such a difficult sequence of opps and winning it all actually never went through my head starting all this, after getting unlucky on a couple of opens and having to work overtime on tiers and I had no experience into earning the poffs spot would be already a hell of a reward. This is the craziest run I`ve ever seen and idt I can make it any better than it already sounds like, it just feels fucking amazing, how 4 months of a long ass journey paid off, a feeling that I haven`t felt for so long and I couldn`t ask for anything better. I have a lot of ppl to s/o so please don`t feel offended if your name is not down below

sufys brother we did it, I hope this win means as much for you as it does to me, and I`m so happy your PU team worked in the end, never doubt yourself even if shit is not working be it with yourself or if the teams you put work into didnt work as planned, you have been super atencious with my run and you`ve always been there to cook whenever I needed, Im so glad to have met you this year ur an amazing person
Taka the ubers mastermind, I`m so glad to share this win with you and all your incredible cookery in not only ubers but also pu and checking lc teams, ur top tier support that anyone should be begging to have, i also love talking to you and im grateful for our friendship, tysm brother
Quinn ive always made fun of you cuz ur a clown, but its a no brainer to say that this would NEVER be possible without you, you carried a guy with 0 lc repertoire into lc open top 8 and 4-0 in poffs, thats some miracle shit and ur the best support i couldve asked for help here, tysm man ur a gem from mmo
Ampha vc é foda cara, saiba que esse n vai ser o unico lugar q eu vou escrever sobre vc mas eu tenho mt orgulho do player q vc ta se tornando, muito obrigado pela ajuda em ru e pu cara, além de piloto vc ta se tornando referencia em build e espero muito que os managers da scl enxerguem oq eu enxergo em vc

eifo brother I would say ur one of the main saviours of my run, when i had to really lock in otherwise i would miss poffs you were there with some HOT shit in pu, also helping me quite a bit in ru for poffs and checking out teams in other slots, im so grateful for everything youve done for me during the run man, tysm

Ming549 RUTUBE GOAT, I ended up knowing you approx at the start of the opens phase here and you were making noise mainly in ru very quick, thanks so much for stopping by during poffs and helping a lot, even helping in slots i didnt expect you to care, every team needs a guy like you and ur also such a fun person to be close to so i gotta thank you a lot
Thiago Nunes meu irmão, lembra quando vc tava me ajudando na minha run do UU Classic, e depois de 3 anos vc continua aqui sempre presente e ajudando no que eu sempre precisei, joguei apenas 1 jogo de nu nos poffs e o time ficou tao bom que ganhei mesmo depois de 0 jogos de nu jogados em MUITO tempo, assim como a rpz toda eu sou tão grato por ter te conhecido mano vc n tem noção, um dos maiores presentes q esse jogo de criança me deu, te amo meu mano
Career Ended unfort I didnt let you in earlier and I didn't make too much use of your help but I'm really thankful for your will to help me during poffs anyways, ur a really fun guy to talk to and I only wish you the best
fish anemometer tier I didnt forget about yall, didnt help in poffs but saved my ass a couple times in pu and nu respectively during opens, that assured me key points to make poffs in the first place, thanks so much guys

@scl managers PLEASE, if a trophy aint enough idk what is, but i ask yall to at least consider every single one of the guys mentioned here, I didn't test most of the builds, I didn't have crazy knowledge to display on prep but I did have them to help me and they tried REALLY hard to make sure everything is looking fresh and good to go, so I BEG YOU MANAGERS, consider all of them cuz they all deserve it a lot

A win that was absolutely well deserved - in the short time I've known you compared to other players here, your dedication, efforts, and consistency were on another level, and I'm glad you managed to achieve something that many can only dream of. Alongside that, you're always supportive and I'm confident you'll win much more in the future LpZ
 
Parabéns cara. Você sabe que foi dúvida na world cup até o último dia, pra mim e outros você ainda era apenas um jogador novo que tinha potencial ali, então estou legit chocado que vc chegou no topo do topo tão rápido, e ainda com uma run tão difícil. Calou a minha boca e a de muitos. Saboreie esse título ao máximo, você merece.
 
Como complemento ao que o Rewer disse, somente chegamos ao topo depois de bastante dedicação, dá pra perceber que você se tornou um excelente jogador naturalmente. Em certos momentos, não vão acreditar no que a gente é capaz de fazer até de fato darmos resultado, e você ir de banco pra vitória em uma partida importante, e em seguida vencer esse torneio, só deixou claro que temos mais um campeão foda. Parabéns!

Parabéns também mence, redundante dizer que você é excelente, fico feliz por ver você indo bem. O seu troféu é questão de tempo, desde que você realmente queira.
