Gonna do some shoutouts
Elgino10 frostyicelad Thanks for picking me!! I lost connection one game forgot my gameplay (then choke) and then it came down to Togekiss flinch (this thing never flinches in these type of situations) , but overall it was cool tiers to build for and I had fun overall. And after that I did not even wanna play ANYMORE LOL but I still managed to play 6/7 of the weeks and went 4-2. I was originally going to make a HUGE HUGE post for all the Monotype players and include there builds but I want to s/o everyone that has played these tiers and that you did amazing!! DLC is approaching and my desire to even write s/o and descriptions for all these teams are dire. I did meet some more cool people like Jrdn and Stareal , who are amazing battlers. JRDN DID prick my nerves on week 1 I was skeptical about him saying he had knowledge in Camo Monobut I applied my knowledge of SS Monotype in the tier. Andyboy anime sans TheFranklin Lamp Kaitlyn TwoLargeGayMen not a racist are the other members on my team, and again , thanks for this cool opportunity (my first pl ;w;)

You can see me everywhere
In GXE style fashion I have written a poem to commemorate the conclusion of TPP II! As you will read, a lot of these contain friendly jabs and light-hearted comments. Please do not take this seriously I am a nice person I swear ;w;
Enjoy!

In last came the Dracos who saw their season drop,
14k for Raj who was nothing more than a flop.
Promise came from Nex, and that was about it,
In the end the Agency techs just did not hit.
Unfortunately it was them who claimed the last place,
And Atago, quite inevitably, sat on their face.

Next were Snoms from the beautiful snowy city,
But ngl their overall record was kinda really sh*tty.
Managed by Velvet and Micoy with zeal,
Large support was found with great appeal.
Unfortunately, only in the polls targeted at the masses,
Could the Snowpoint Snoms see their wins amass(es).

Continuing on with the singular Chicken,
Ojr and Boyn’s chemistry was so bad it made the team sicken.
With Manu from India and Shadow the plaza hero,
Some thought this team might not actually finish with zero.
In the end however, Heatmor did their adversaries,
But the real losers are us, scammed out of our obituaries

Middle of the pack, came the frozen moths of the night,
Jrdn, Andyboy, and Arce9; enough to cause a fright.
On paper, thought most, possibly the best,
Yet in week 5 vs the Absols, they were put to the test.
“A big win” promised by esteemed user Stareal,
Yet this only justified that his 10k tag was not a steal.

Our first playoff team, a surprise to most,
Especially with Saba and Stitch - discord servers they did not know how to host.
Yet the Scrafties were scrappy and found a steal in Mac3,
But their biggest star was Z-Strats in doubles LC.
In the end however, a loss to the Absols without much fuss,
Probably wishing to redo playoffs, just like Don Vascus.

The flowers from Verdanturf also made the playoffs,
Proving that their gamble on Gambit somehow paid-off.
With Voltix taking the lead and Catalystic by his side,
The Roselia’s were able to swiftly and swimmingly find their stride.
Against the Bunnies however, they seemed to run out of breath,
And this for the team, led to a very Derpeddeath.

Before we move onto TPP’s final two teams,
I think it’s important to take a look at this season’s best memes.
From GXE and dead-games galore,
To Shadow’s very controversial like-whore.
From TwoLargeGayMen - just his name,
To the TectonicDestroyer vs Ewin game.
However, what we can all agree on the most,
Are our dealings with this year's host.
Oh Glacie you say the post will be up soon,
But in reality we’re waiting until well past noon.
You say you’ve got things to do, but you’re just playing smash,
And even when someone offers to post for you, you pass.
Why oh why do you torture us in this way?
All we want to do is make predicts and play.
But in reality, we are very thankful for your hard work,
Please don’t take this seriously, I’m just being a jerk.
Thank you for always putting up with us whine,
And especially thank you for making this post one last time.

Back to the finals, we have the Bunnies - "based" as they like to say,
And this statement has definitely been matched in their play.
Users CDE and Aloopuriza have certainly made a Splash,
Proving that not much of this team's draft was wasted in cash.
Only one team stands in the way of eternal glory,
Will it be a happy ending for this fairy tale story?

Last but certainly not least, we have the posters of Absol,
For them TPP II has been nothing more than a stroll.
With some Cheese and Bunzz, the Absols have yet to taste defeat,
Even in spite of snake user John W, who could not admit being beat.
One more win and they can make claim to a dynasty,
But will this happen? Only in time will we see.
How much time was taken for that
Great work
 
Damn S/O bunnies. Going into this tournament I didn’t have much expectations except for me playing battle factory or any other slot and keeping to myself mostly. but since dan and acselsior wound up paying a lot for me I played whatever we needed and I’m glad I lived up to the price so S/O to both of them. The biggest plus side was that the team environment was crazy and we were winning and that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day!

Teaming with Ave was dope. Him and I roasting eachother ther week in and week out was something to behold (please get a mic for among us). Tect is a clown who never saves his replays and tries to flex games he’s already won LMAO, was fun teaming with u. Casual no john’d battle factory every week and held it down. Aloo and chazm were a fire OM core even tho they got busy during the end of the tournament they were consistent all tournament, hope you two don’t retire like u said y’all would. T-birds stepped up in mono when we needed and was always available for testing. Although we didn’t speak a lot LTG held down doubles LC of all things and come thru most weeks.

Definitely had a fun time in the tour and this community seems pretty dope so I’ll be around for sure!! GZ absols!
 
We did it guys. ABSOLS ARE BACK TO BACK TPP CHAMPS! :absol:

First of all thanks to glacie for hosting and making this possible. It was a great tour and I'm glad TPP wasn't a one time thing. Hopefully we can stick with it and make it an actual plaza tradition. To other plaza staff, thanks for letting OM Mashups have our two tiers in this tour and giving us a chance to play em at a higher level than usual.

Best Gal thanks for agreeing to manage together again, I know you were kinda busy and couldn't devote much time to this but both your help and your presence were appreciated.
Icemaster the future OMPL mnm star (and hopefully teammate :sunglasses:). bro I really can't overstate how goated you are. from helping us plan the draft, acting as a third manager during the tour by making sure everyone scheduled and helping ppl prep and also carrying us by winning pretty much every week in a tier you picked up as the tour started. insane man.

kythr the last of the OG absols - we didnt get you as a steal this time but you were definitely worth every penny. everyone knows you are an absolute goat of a player but you're also a great teammate, helping people prep and just filling in where we needed you. i know you signed up for camo mono but you let k3ppr play it in the later weeks and played same 6 instead while crushing the competition there as well.

King Leo V the bf goat. getting you for 9k was such an immense underpay, i cant believe nobody stole you from us and im so glad we you. last time around the rands slot was our autolose slot, but this time we got to see what happens when absols have an autowin in the rands slot. great job man, you definitely carried us by providing momentum with the first game of the week resulting in a win.

realSurfyTeen I didn't know you before this tour but i think kythr reccd we pick you and im so damn glad we did. 4:3 is a very respectable record especially since you won the deciding game of the tour, not to mention you onyl went for 3k. you always prepped well and were a great chat presence. really enjoyed teaming with you!

ToastedBunzzz02 same as with surfy, we picked you on kythr's recc cause we didnt have our RUBL slot covered.i know this wasnt your tour, but honestly don't be too hard on yourself. you prepped well most weeks and those wins that you got were crucial. im glad we got to be teammates.

K3ppr the mono goat. honestly i hated the idea of splitting the mono slot into two tiers, but it meant we needed another mono player after getting kythr so we got you. i know you wanted to team w nex initially and im sorry we coudlnt make that happen for you. either way, great work over the course of the tour. i think you went 5:2 in the mono tiers which is pretty goated so you can def be proud of your performance.

Cheese5555 we put you in LC initially, but it turned out that you playing OU worked best for our lineups so im glad you were open to playing both tiers. you had a pretty good run, getting some crucial wins for our team, esp. w3 vs dracos and w4 vs snoms. you were also a great teammate, offering help in various tiers so was definitely a good experience getting to team with you.

PMD-Mudkip I know we didn't get to put you in much, but i hope you had fun in this tour regardless. you did pretty well, even tho you went 1:1 as the game you lost coulda been pretty different if you didnt get the bad outrage rng. I also appreciate you helping build and prep for same 6 when you werent playing. im glad we picked you, and i hope you're glad you got picked as well.

Ewin LMAO i saved the most controversial for last. This wasn't your best tour but we were playing untiers , plus there was some really bad rng/shit mus involved in some of your losses so nobody can really hold it against you. Then there was the snake shit which hopefully gets resolved soon. You also helped us by passing teams when you weren't playing so thanks fo the support!

helpers and others:

Axgwd InvalidOS you guys were in our disc for most of the season and I definitely appreciated your guys input and testing. when prepping for my matches cause it always helps me to have someone to discuss ideas with. Just A Jew you joined later on but it was still good to have you in the server as well

Joltage i dont personally know you, but you were in our disc helping surfy pretty much every week, deifnitely appreciate the effort!

manu 11 bro, i already mentioned this multiple times but you absolutely carried me these last 3 weeks. I doubt i woulda been able to achieve this record without your help in the later weeks as i was running really low on creative juices. not only that, but you were also my testing partner pretty much every week but w2 and w6. you are really goated and i honestly think the weeks when i used your teams my wins were cleaner than the rest lmao.

RICEMAN Aloopuriza Don Vascus Derpeddeath the rest of the staaab crew i tested with, some more than others but i definitely appreciate all of you being open to play games when i hit you guys up. rice i cant believe you talked me into playing lowtiers and absolutely destroyed my ass, was a humbling moment for sure. i need to learn riceman HO sometime, i cant seem to make it work myself lmao. aloo i hope you dont let this tour get you down too much, id definitely like to see you stay in the community in the future. don and derp hope you guys had fun regardless and im excited to see more of you two in staaab.

the rest of the helpers who joined us for playoffs: i really cant overstate this, we couldn't have done it without you. the amount of help you guys offered in these 2 weeks was insane, really grateful for it.

Last, Andyboy Chazm Catalystic thanks for deciding to join the snm council and making some crucial decisions to help bring a semblance of balance to the metagame.

I hope everyone had fun in this tour, I definitely enjoyed getting to play my personal favorite untier in a team tour environment, even though building for it was stressful at times.
 
A tad late but here's my unbiased predicts :)

Anyway, congrats to the Absols for winning TPP again! s/o Glacie for hosting the whole thing and everyone on Roselias <3 Although I didn't contribute much and we didn't make it to finals, it was a great experience knowing all the great people on the team, and ngl I didn’t expect semis at all. It was also a blast watching others play, and all the memes certainly made the event much more enjoyable. Grats to Absols again, and hope everyone had fun!
