Unfortunate end to a phenomenal season, but I'm really happy how far we've come. I'm glad I was able to take the Torchics to finals again, even if it didn't end up being a repeat.
The Squad
Teh You asked me basically out of nowhere if I wanted to captain ALTPL with you, and I felt like saying "sure." I'm glad I did. You're a great guy and a huge part of the formation of the team, though you stepped back during the season to let me take charge. Very glad I got to lead the Torchics with you
Stockings you were around from the beginning and stuck til the end. Season didn't go great and I wish I was able to help you better in your tier but you always tried and hung around, you're a great player and I'm sure it will go up from here
JabbaTheGriffin game didn't like you a lot and you've certainly got an interesting way of approaching the game, but you pulled through when you could and you're always fun
SEA I took a gamble buying you for a tier you'd never played before, and I'm glad I did. You did very well for someone new to the tier and it's always a joy having you around, can't wait to see you play more of this tier
SaDiSTiCNarwhal I'm not gonna lie I mostly ignored (though still acknowledged) that you said you wanted to play ADV in your signup LOL, but luckily for both of us you still got to play there 3 times against some of the best and balled the fuck out. In other weeks, you did what had to be done and filled in for RBY Ubers well too. Very glad to have had your services for the team
Ajencis Honestly I expected to start you in ADV Ubers more often, but in the weeks you did start you were great. Even when Narwhal was in the limelight, you hard carried support. You're the goat
BloodAce I bought you purely because I knew you from being on our GSC USA vs World team, and I don't regret it at all man. You dropped into a pretty uncharted tier and balled out with the best of them, hope to see you around more (maybe even in other GSC tiers)
Mystras great in GSC UU throughout the whole tour, clutched up in the most key moments. Enjoy your break man, it's well deserved
Shellnuts How you only went for 3k is astonishing, great steal. It was fun teaming with you again, you're a great player and a great guy
gastlies LOL GASTKIES ok honestly I mostly bought you because you're just an awesome person, and not only did that happen but you subbed in twice and clutched the fuck up, pop off girl
cyberacc From the beginning of draft planning you had always caught my eye, and it seems I found a hidden gem. You're super talented at GSC Ubers man, hope to see you maybe in UPL (if the managers actually buy you) :P
Zerkas ADV supersub Zerkas was not needed to sub, but you were still around. Don't regret buying you tho :V
Ctown6 CLOYSTER TOWN YEAHHHHHHHHHH unironically though I don't regret dropping a fat 10k out of nowhere on you. Only able to play 2 weeks but you still helped with support and as always you're awesome
Blue Cloyster never got to play a game but you were an amazing support for RBY UU and some RBY Ubers all throughout, hope to see you play the tier soon
MTB Supersub MTB didn't end up subbing, but I'm happy you were around for the ride
Celebiii Great GSC UU support throughout the tour and stepped up when you needed to, you've got some wacky ideas but you're a tryhard and a nice guy

I'd like to thank
BigFatMantis and
Hiro' for hosting and allowing Teh and I to manage a team, and I hope we showed why you were right to pick us. ALTPL was a complete blast once again :D
Lastly, I'd like to shoutout
Torchic for giving me your blessing at the very beginning of the tour, unfortunately I wasn't able to buy you though :(
I will next time, trust, but I hope this time around I still made you proud.
The Torchics will be returning again, you better believe. We are coming for the second title. See y'all next year!
