(A)woo! We did it guys! Man what a season, I didn't expect things to turn out the way they did in terms of my performance but man these past months were very fun and I enjoyed myself a lot. I'm sorry if I missed you in these shout-outs, I know way too many people and its my first time doing this and I really just want to finish so I can play fortnite but just know I really appreciated any and all support. One shout-out that I will not be hiding is the shout-out to my master and friend xtra$hine, I am convinced that working with you did something to me where I just started improving rapidly. From teaming with you in the previous SPL to getting your help in OLT thanks man, I feel that really came in handy.
ABR - Big Adam, the man himself. When you approached me while draft was going on asking if I preferred ORAS or SM i was really excited, since it was near the end of the draft and I was thinking it probably won't happen but it did! You were an absolutely AMAZING person to work with, your knowledge and expertise of the game is unrivaled as far as I know anyways. You along with the rest of the ORAS prep gang proved to be a HUGE portion of my success. I felt pretty confident going into games with the teams and ideas you theorized and created then polished with the rest of the team. I know I say you and the gang but I'd be lying If I said you weren't a huge part of that and others would agree. You were also helping out in pretty much every single tier which was awesome, not to mention that you came through several times and clutched the trophy for us. REALLY REALLY nice to team with you, also really nice to know that you're not a robot and have a personality too. Would be nice to team with you but it would also be fun to go up against you so watch out 
.
Astamatitos - 1/2 of the legendary Greek Core Astamaheatos. So much shit went against you this SPL, getting lucked that much consecutively and still being able to play great again and again is amazing. You deserved a much better record but you also deserved that SPL trophy which you got so can't really complain right? Your prep was just as crazy as Fear's, honestly you two work so well together it's insane. We teamed before for ROAPL but we didn't really talk much so it was nice getting to know you, you're a pretty chill dude. You also came to me for tests in ADV which made me kinda happy because I love to play adv and dpp but I'm not good enough to play those at an spl level yet. Just like fear you have handsomeness + pokemon, starting to think It's not that rare.
Cynde - Wheatman! Things may have not gone the way you wanted them too (or maybe they did considering we won the trophy) but you were still very clutch when it came to UU prep. Not only that but you were a fun personality to be around, sorry that I didn't have more weird dreams to tell u about but I'm glad you like the ones that I did have! It was really fun to team with you, hope to see you around putting out the results you deserve.
Earth - It's Earthie bitch! Things may have seem rough but for what its worth you played good and I think somethings that may have seem like you did wrong were just lack of experience or things you learn by playing over time so I hope you took those games as a learning experience. It was fun and unfun at the same time not knowing whether you were posting traps or not but I enjoyed it. Definitely the first time I met someone like you, very colorful personality keep doin ur thang sweet thang.
Fear - The absolute BEAST of this team man I've never watched a full gsc game before this SPL and you made me do it 10 times. I've never had so much fun watching GSC, you play it and you play it well. Not gonna lie when i first met you I was intimidated, that name no discord avatar, and a little quiet at first I had no idea what to expect, but you turned out to be a really nice and chill back dude. Well, chill except for when you prepped, everytime I looked at the GSC chat I was just amazed, your prep is something else man, prep like that + your play is definitely shown by your results. It was a pleasure teaming with you my man handsomeness + pokemon you got it all.
KratosMana - Thanks for supporting the team and being part of the ORAS prep group, your judgement really helped a lot. You approached me a little before SPL sign-ups even went up and that really shocked me because I never expected to be approached by a team let alone before spl had even started. I was actually a big fan of you as a player from watching you in the previous SPL and that says a lot because I'm not really a fan of much players. It was also fun playing gartic with you and the wolfgang, appreciate everything man.
Mana - My favorite manaphy! Just like rozes you had been in the Wolfpack chats since the beginning and it felt like you were an official member of the pack. You helped out here and there and you were just a great person to have around and you really contributed to that positive atmosphere. I also got to play you in some test games and man are you scary lol, I can't wait to go up against you in future tournaments or maybe even work alongside you as official teammates.
marilli - Hey, I know the ride musta been tough but I appreciate you putting in the effort and never giving up despite how things may have not gone the way you wanted to this spl (once again or have they? cause we walking out with the trophy anyways lol) but you'll get back up on your feet in no time. I never once doubted you and if SPL was going on for 10 more weeks I'd still not doubt you, so you better pick your head back up and start tearin it up EVEN if in the next team tournament our teams are up against each other I still wanna see you tear shit up.
Nails - Mr. VGC and
himself. It was nice having someone with RBY expertise around when watching the RBY games or I'd be lost, you also provided TIN with support and subbed in when we needed you. Your gassing was on another level man, glad we had you to do the job. You're also killin it in VGC so keep it big man.
PokeTCG gamer1288 - Rob! I had seen you around before SPL began, mainly in OLT but I had also known that you were diverse in a multitude of tiers so when I found out I was teaming with you I was relieved. You started out helping in UU prep and providing insight in RU and the OUs too so your potential had already begun to show. When it came time for you to step it up and become our UU slot boy did you step up. I know some people were skeptic at first mainly because of your username which was funny but you proved em wrong big time. You proved amazing support for the team and then moved on to supply the team with wins directly through playing that's a pretty good SPL. Hope to team with you again, maybe in snake
.
Rodriblutar - NidoKING. Even before week 1 had gone up you wanted to be on Wolfpack and I and the rest of the team also wanted you very bad, but unfortunately we were unable to have you until mids. You're a really funny guy but more than that when you have a computer you're a MONSTER. I don't know anybody else who drags out a stall battle to 500 turns because they enjoy playing stall. You absolutely killed it in NU and helped out with tests as well. It was nice having another all-rounder like Rob on the team and you fit in nicely as if you had been on the team since the beginning.
shiloh - Rozes my man, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was SKEPTIC about a tourbanned user being around but I changed opinions. You're a really cool dude and you helped out a fuck ton. Like, your help is so much appreciated, despite not officially being on the team you acted as if you were and that helped out tremendously. You provided a ton of support for our NU and you contributed to other tiers as well. Not only that but I actually went from someone who was unsure about you based on what I heard and seen to liking you very much. It was nice getting to know you and find out that you're actually a really cool person. Can't wait to see you unbanned and wrecking shit.
soulgazer - I've heard several people call you perhaps the best lower gen player in the history of SPL before SPL began and even after and man you showed that no matter what you will put up results. You had a ton of prep help but that doesn't change the fact that when the time came it was you and your opponent playing and man did you play. It's nice to see someone whos been working at it for quite a while to finally achieve the trophy they've worked so hard for. That time you linked that shark porn was definitely interesting and something I'll remember, keep doing you my man.
SoulWind - Big Man Borja. Honestly before this SPL and even when I had just started playing in tournaments whenever someone mentioned BW I instantly thought of you because it's your turf, the tier YOU own. You consistently played good and It's not like you're restricted to BW, you're just a good player overall. While I may have not been able to see your prep because you mostly worked outside of the chat I can tell you put in the work in both aspects of building and playing. You also came in VERY fucking clutch in DPP you played so good ugh it was a treat to watch. Really glad you were on the team only a matter of time before you grab an individual I can tell.
The Idiot Ninja - My fellow 3k warrior! You my friend are super good at RBY and know what you're doing. I know things may not have gone the way you wanted them too especially towards the later half of the tournament but you really did have a nice SPL and you proved the haters wrong and even got a nice red trophy with it. You even picked up doubles and started testing / working with Marilli a bit more which is always nice to see. You were always confident which is awesome, own that shit. Glad I got to team with you before you start going for a more expensive price lol.
TonyFlygon - Damn dude 3 finals in a row and finally got a trophy that's amazing and I can totally see why you were able to do that. You were an AMAZING manager, you not only helped with prep but you were just there in general even for non pokemon related things and you always made sure comfort came first which was really nice because it lifted some pressure from me when playing and im sure it lifted pressure for others as well. I appreciate you being there to support me and provide a hand when things were looking rough irl, I really appreciated, you were more of a friend than a manager. Thanks for trusting me with starting !
Trosko - TROSKOAT. I actually tried to watch your youtube before but you speak so fast and since I rarely have to use my spanish I had a hard time keeping up and there's also the fact that your spanish has different slang than mine. You were also part of the ORAS support squad that helped me achieve my record so thank you. Your input in team choice and pointing out things that may have gone past us was really good to have. You also helped out ABR and overall you worked really hard. You also had nice play but what wasn't nice was the shitty chrome situation almost robbing you of two wins (only robbed you of one "luckily"). Really great person to team with, hard working chill and very open about things.
Void - The Barber. I know you had a shaky start mainly due to the fact that you were playing as morning void but boy oh boy did you turn it up after the Fakes ban. You went undefeated after that right ? You played great and piloted osgoode's teams well and you even let me play in your dpp slot week 9 :D. Not only that but you were also pretty awesome in UU too but it was short lived unfortunately or fortunately? because we got to play rob because of it. I really enjoy playing DPP so it was fun watching you, you might not play DPP next time your in SPL so I'll take up that mantle hehe, was nice getting to know you and having you clutch at some crucial moments. Void Tony OTP.
I'm sorry to the rest of the Wolfpack support group im going to have to group some of you together because I didn't interact with many of you since you helped in tiers that I wasn't a part of but I'm sure you'll receive more from the people you worked with.
RU Support Group:
col49 , MrAldo , Nat , lighthouses - I don't know if there were more people that helped SG outside of these 4 but thank you guys for the help. col helped out very nicely pre mids and he's always whipping out some cool techs. MrAldo you've also been with us since the beginning and you were a great asset to the team, really nice job with the prep. Nat you had a really good SPL so I was glad you wanted to help us, you'll be a huge threat come next SPL since you'll be starting from week 1. Diogo you joined late but any and all help was appreciated thanks for your support and contribution really appreciate it.
Doubles Support Group:
Paraplegic , sam-testings - You guys helped out in doubles a lot and you cheering us on was really great. Paraplegic it was nice having you go insane and cheering me on after my successful start in SPL, it was nice to have a fellow SFB buddy around :). Sam I REALLY wanted to add you to the chat, not really for doubles help but because you are our cholera90, knowing that no matter what we'd have one person cheering us on always was really nice and you definitely helped the atmosphere with your cheering.
DPP Support Group:
crayon pop , PDC - You guys really helped out Void a ton, especially you osgoode since you were there to help since week 1. It was very fun, for me at least, to see you guys prepping teams for DPP. It was especially fun to steal those teams and use them to learn more and more about the tier, so thanks for that and thanks for supporting the team.

Since there would be too many people to tag, I'll just go by group name since you'll know who you are anyways.
CPG - Ah man I know a lot of people are gonna look at this part of the shout-out like
, but I don't really care being with you guys for the past few years was really fun. You guys pretty much raised me and it was nice to finally bring one home. I did what Ary and Henry failed to accomplish, I WON SPL. You're all great thanks for cheering me on and letting me into the CPG room despite being a mere kid and allowing me to stay there. Shout-outs mushmunkey.
WG - You guys helped me get into gaming outside of pokemon and by that I mean you helped me get addicted to Haxball. You were a very different group from CPG which was pretty much the only group I belonged to so it was interesting being with people in a different atmosphere. I had a lot of great moments and spent a good time with you guys so thanks for everything.
SFB - I'm still fairly fresh to you guys but you really do have a diverse amount of personalities and thats always fun. Thanks to everyone that supported me all the way.
Den - I know i'm not the most active member here but taking part in your tournaments is really fun and I've seen nothing but nonstop love from you guys so I really appreciate it, thanks for your nonstop support.
Shrine of Xtra - You know who you guys are, I've been in the chat since the early rounds of last OLT, you guys are really fun people to be around and just overall a place filled with good players and even better people.

. There's obviously more but you already know how much I appreciate you.
