yea go for it. since we have no more time, plan is to delete the 12th Feb slot and just publish the first 1v1 set reserved (which is your sylveon) for 26th Feb instead

 

[bern]

holy sylveon comes out tomorrow, uhhh i told lost heros to take sylveon if it's possible can we delay to the 14th and swap with M&M boulder (it's quite unorthodox i know but it's the best i got)

in the meantime i'll be taking basculegion so we can complete the 1v1 spotlights, i'm sorry as a 1v1 C&C moderator that things turned out like this.

all good. we'll be rejecting your basculegion reservation though cause we decided to no longer feature it and move sylveon to 26th instead
