hey yall wanted to do a lil write up of my own even though we lost.
my history on smogon is weird to say the least, uufpl was my first ever team tour and it has always been my favourite ever since. it's a tour which produces so many magical moments and loads of hugely entertaining storylines. i've never properly captained a team tour on smogon unless you count the silly ass smogcord pls but when the opportunity rose to captain it i threw my name down with the main intention of giving back to the uu tier and the community and to the tour that gives me so much joy. i wanted to bring in a bunch of players who have never played the tier before in the hopes that some of them might stick around and our tier can breathe some new life into it. i also wanted to prove that draft players can absolutely ball in spite of the disrespect a lot of them face. i believe us "draft clique wannabees" have definitely shown we can hang with the best of em. ive never been part of a team that can go 3, 4, 5-0 down and not a single head drops. we came back from impossible odds time and time again and we almost did it once more, reviving from 5-1 down for the 3rd occasion this season. alas a few small moments meant it wasnt to be this time.
there's been some pretty weird behaviours coming from a few members of the community which has been disappointing but in spite of that i would love to thank the hosts for another wonderful tour. anyway without further ado i gotta thank my wonderful players for what is my favourite team ever and probably always will be
Hacker thanks for pushing me to go for this and for being our secret 3rd captain all along, its always an absolute treat having someone i can just pass whatever garbage to and you will just load it and win. ridiculously consistent player it's just such a shame you are 14 and chinese
impersonxtor dude im not gonna lie you are a big part of why i wanted to bring in a team of draft players to begin with. after playing a couple tryouts with you in the team uk server i could tell you have a fantastic mind for game-planning and executing in battle and i knew you'd be an absolute steal in an auction here. you've got an incredibly bright future ahead of you and ill always be rootin for yah. your energy and activity has been a bright spot all throughout.
SoggyDoggySage miy wiffe whomst i love. im sorry for making you play adv uu + sceptile. i always tell anyone who will listen to me that you are a source of endless inspiration from me. every time i watch you play i feel like you just see things that no one else can. you never seem to get rocked by unconventional sets and you play every game so unbelievably cleanly. im sorry you've found the game a bit frustrating at times but i am so delighted to see you end it on a high
Nu going into auction i had no clue who you were but hacker was absolutely adamant that you would be a steal and you were the only name we had on our auction plan. he was (i fucking hate admitting this) right. your building is SO much fun i love watching your mind at work. i love how willing you were to commit to being a part of the atmosphere here even if there were a lot of people you didnt know at first. can't wait to team with you again (goomys dont count)
ALG Spies bro ur a fkn beast. 5-0 reg season in a tier you've never played? for ages we were just loading whatever garbage i could find in my builder and not even i could hold you back from strutting your stuff weekly. i love how analytical you are and how you're never satisfied with a match until you have extracted every possible thing you can learn from it, its a mentality i wish i had.
Tidal much like me you are way too hard on yourself. nobody does it like Hannah Tidal. everything i can say here is something you already know but you know i love yah. your positivity and energy is a breath of fresh air and there's a reason you're universally beloved. you'll be back and better than ever soon!!
jscurf 8 and fucking 1. generational run. absolutely adored watching the foundation of the scurf 7, the 7 pokemon who all variously appeared in nearly all of your games. loved how you just played so much better than everyone else that it didn't matter how much they prepped for it. loved watching you 6-0 MULTIPLE opponents. loved watching helmet hydreigon at work. neither me nor scion were able to really help too much with this tier but ultimately you didnt need it
DonBoneJones every good story needs a villain. you're another one i was unfamiliar with at the beginning of this tour but i sure as hell am not now. you are SO much fun to be around and i LOVE how willing you are to engage with and bounce off of every single bit. having a team hater around was very fun. you are also way too hard on yourself, the (second) best BW in the tour for a reason after all!!!
Nathan401 you are another big factor in why i wanted to do this. we dont get to hang much!!! i love teaming with you. honestly with dpppl and your managing a dpl team as well i wasnt expecting anywhere near the levels of effort, enthusiasm and sheer personality you put into this tour. innkeeper was an apt name for you given the way you keep us inn it time and time again. Nathan40 Won.
Nick6564 call me a kid with a fork and a toaster the way you shocked me this season. ignore what the haters say, loading absolute penis shit like attract and winning is everything this tour stands for and my god did you win. we had like the joint worst adv in the tour until week 6 and by the end of it we had the best player??? loved watching you and scion figure out what looks to be an utterly horrible tier (im not tierbashing i just hate sceptile). one thing that can be said of nearly every draft player and especially of you is the unbelievable amounts of effort that goes into every game week, i think its something a lot of people can learn from.
leoperi Melbelle grouping you two together because you were our two prehistoric gen players and you guys both suffered through similar seasons. both of you are incredible players and obviously will not be defined by the sheet, would happily pay everything we paid for you both again in a heartbeat. the hax you two waded through this season was absurd and your continued effort in spite of it all was inspiring. i apologise to both of yall that we didnt have the best tools to really help you but i know it wont be long before you're both back to dominating the sheet.
cala_aa Garchanine berna- Don Bork one of the things im not very good at with regards to management is im not very good at getting everyone the playtime they deserve and yall all deserved to play way more. love love loved watching yall continue to offer support, tests and continuing to just be fantastic presences around the team server. yall made the place special and will continue on to great things im sure
a fairy it's rlly not often that you draft a player who doesn't want to play but with regards to you it was money well spent imo!! just another all round wonderful presence and a source of stability for everyone. loove yah af
and not to forget our wonderful supporters
mintwinter blittius huge huge huge thank you to both of yall. you were both everpresent and truly were honorary bellibolts. both of you are responsible for numerous SV wins over the course of the season.
vivalospride genuine king, joined midseason on a whim and then carried like every fairy gen slot in prep and was a vital part of our late season charge to and through playoffs. sorry im ASS at smuu
Maris Bonibelle a legend of rby in ur own right. thank you for dropping by for finals week to help us out. loved meeting you and im sure we'll meet again! if you haven't died of old age by then
Choice Band tyranitar you are as beautiful as the day i lost you. i NEED you in my life. always.
lastly and definitely not least my co scionicle i honestly didn't expect you to put anywhere near as much effort in as you did this season considering i basically just annoyed you into taking part. genuine heart and soul of our team, phenomenal organiser and just an old round wonderful guy. you cover over pretty much every side of management im bad at (basically all of it), are always present, and absolutely rapid to organise and rally the troops. love you buddy
anyway i suspect this wont be the last yall see if the draft invasion, not on my watch anyway. see yall next year.

GGs everyone and congrats to the Armarouges! I had basically no UU experience before this, so it was fun learning some new tiers and meeting new people.
Thank you olivia for the shoutout post- you said it better than I could. You definitely put in work managing too, not to mention question time which was a vital part of the season. This was a great team and I'm glad I got dragged in. We did alright for a couple of draftoids
