lost bw, won oras and sm, gg
man i'm glad it's over this shit is stressful.
i'm so bad at writing shoutout posts i didn't even do it for spl but in an individual tour there is no incentive to help someone beyond you know, wanting to help them so i feel obliged.
as the ruiners know i'm terrible at building bw and after the terrible team i brought vs finch i was stressing out about what i was gonna do in that tier in the next round, so it came as a surprise and a blessing when 10 minutes after our series finch offered to help me prep vs bk. he ended up building the teams i used in semis and finals (sub salac magnezone was all me though) and even though i didn't do the team justice in the finals it took a huge load off my shoulders knowing i'd have solid bw teams. i'm all in on the FINCHTOUR28 bandwagon
idt i'm quite as bad at building sm but i was desperate cause i hadn't come up with a team liked in sm for the finals and so i did what any brazilian boy would do in this situation and turned to the magician, who after trying to get me to use some TRASH gave me that mawile team, idt i've ever been so happy to get a team in my life lmao. gama also built that sableye volc team for tama to use in wcop but he didn't like it so i poached it bop
shoutouts nintendi for coming out of retirement and still being the greatest in oras even though he says he can't build for shit he gave me ideas and looked over my teams (not his fault i brought a team with 0 water resists though)
shoutouts anti for posting a godawful sharpedo team with that nature power serperior in the brazil chat, inspired my sm team vs bk
shoutouts yoppie for an oras team he built last year that inspired my finals team
shoutouts mncmt for being so bad that after testing against him i decided not to test for the rest of the playoffs
shoutouts pearl and sabella for pretty much building the sm team i used vs liolae during spl
shoutouts brazil, ruiners, InD and my fans (updated kanto) for the moral support
shoutouts bro kappa for unironically offering me a pyukumuku stall team right as the oras game ended
shoutouts hanke for being the last brazilian to win a trophy in
checks notes 2010?!
and last but not least shoutouts to my brother from another mother jimmy turtwig who looked over all my teams and helped me through every step of the way as well as being my friend for 7 years
