HJAD and I will play at Tuesday 9 PM GMT+1. He is not at home until Monday, so we had to schedule a bit later. Sorry Oglemi.
Anyways I really hope I can end this outstanding Grand Slam run with an Open-win. It was lots of fun and I absolutely liked to play my opps and especially to make a lot of new friends. Let the better player win this!

lost in 3 ggs, congrats mazar
g1-hax made things easier, but i had the upperhand throughout the entire match i felt
g2-was "haxed" out of this one because of ant missing iron head, it had t-fang for qwilfish at the time, althought it doesnt excuse my misplay at the end with fletch
g3-eh, he had mons i didnt have anything for (see: phys def calm mind slowking with a colbur berry) i thought i had a chance at the end with cm virizion, i had to bank on houndoom not being scarf or not having sucker punch, a pretty much zero chance, but he played his superior matchup well and deserved to win
shame the journey had to end here, but on the positives, i found a brand new (and extremely cool) tier to get myself obsessed with and made several bridges with several people getting here.

I was rly rly frustrated during g2 after losing g1 by hax and misplaying + misclicking + using a sample team (because it had good matchup against all of his previous teams + Malamar always wins).. Finally I remembered soTsoT always complaining about Durant not missing, so I just had one chance and got it. Then I got a rly little chance of living Fletch Acrobatics and he didnt even go for it. I was like "OMG OMG". At the end I won G3 by playing the probably most fun team I built for HJAD (out of 10, lol).
Thanks Oglemi for hosting and also thank you RU for being a really cool tier I learned with all of its people. Shoutout here for fran17 and MrAldo. I never talked to you guys before yesterday and both of you have so cool posts in RU forum. I got crazy cool ideas from reading your posts.
BIG Shoutouts to my frens Scythe. and esca helping me with teams. Esca in beginning, later Scythe and for the last match all on myself. Also thanks tehy that you gave me your stall team, but I wasnt in the mood to use it, sorry.
Also thanks Steve Angello, Diogo, Ice Tea, BlackBloodz .. although it was quite rare with some of you, i wanted to shoutout you guys because you helped me with testing. PS: I didnt win one tryout against Steve Angello (bar those with hax). I guess this might push his ego ;]
And Mael. I know you dont expect to be here, but you are the person who gave me like one year ago those three RU-Teams (including Tauros Normal Spam) and brought me to Lower Tiers. Although OU is my home for a while now, without you I wouldnt play this open. Sad we dont talk to each other anymore. GL in SPL, i'm sure you are probably one of the best and underrated picks (cuz you never signed up for SPL from what I heard).
Last shoutout to friends in private rooms and ppl who always believed in me.
(If you were not in one of those above and should be included in tryouts, you are definitely here!)
Sorry for prob bad english n_n
