Brionnes actual best draft none of you fools are ready for the pounding~
ily and the whole lot of you. No one i'd rather spend nfepl4 with aside from crazystevy, cheese555, ominousdraco, and hysSo with week 7 practically done and brionnes unable to secure playoffs, and my final inkling to play this game extinguished, it's time I do the appreciation/shout out post that people sometimes do in tours like this.
BP:So I was just chilling one day watching anime and BP messaged me on discord to be the assistant manager and at first, I was hesistant. I have never been in a managing role on this site even after 5 years and I was questioning whether or not I could be bothered. But I appreciated the fact that he asked me over anybody else fsr so I thought to myself "You might as well do this, it'll be a good experience for your future on the site etc" (not knowing I was gonna dip afterwards anyway but I digress). Thanks for asking me to do this, it was a fun ride. You were pretty motivated about this when it got announced that the team number would be extended so from that point, I was willing to stick with this until it ended.
Shing:Sucks overall you couldn't get number 1 SS overall but you're the best SS NFE in my opinion. The dedication to the tier, which frankly isn't that good was cool to see, constantly building every week, analysing your finished games. People at the start of this tour said I was free DPP prep and yes, that was the case but it doesn't mean nothing if I have no one to test with and that's where Shing came in. Every week, it was literally Shing helping me test my DPP teams, agreeing with me to use broken rain week 1, telling me to try mixed Monferno and I unfortunately put up a poor performance 4 weeks consecutively. You made my DPP prep easier and you won most of your games so thanks for that.
Narwhal:I didn't know you were before the draft but BP was fixed on drafting you for some reason and kept telling me this guy is good. You put up a good front in SS, despite how the tier is, going through Pikachu ban, all of that stuff. Ik you were angry over the MAMP loss but you did well in a tier you didn't play prior to this tour and you managed to get wins off established names like Plas and Hamx4 so don't be too angry. We all could've done better.
MJ:After the Somalia fiasco (Somalia will get a mention too dw) and we bought you, you were motivated to get into the tier and I thank you for that. We didn't interact much but you showed that you wanted to win and I appreciate that.
PD:My former mafia compatriot from last year who I was adamant on buying this year and I succeeded. PD is just a guy you want to have on your squad. He is motivated and always willing to do testing and try different stuff. In the early parts of the tour, I remember PD spamming me SM battles so he could test and I was lowkey thinking "When will it end xd" but it was fun playing SM again. PD is also the funniest guy on the team, dude straight up sent a video of him in his car cheering about someone winning a game. It was good fun being on the same team again PD
Elgino:Elgino never fails to deliver in terms of winning, the Skysolo game extremely unfortunate but otherwise, you displayed good skill in every game you played, were active to test for SM, you and PD were always testing to my knowledge and I just want to say good job on that front.
TBZ:I'm happy you didn't cancer despite the fact you were benched for most of the weeks but when you played, you tried your best to win so I can't fault that. You were also good SM support so thanks!
Atago:Iwantatagotositonme to sit on me. Moving on lol, me and BP were stumped on ORAS slots during the auction and I honestly didn't know you were but we managed to grab you for 5k and you put up a great performance. 4-2 is pretty good.
raf:thanks for the ORAS support raf, we really did need that because I have no clue about ORAS, idt anyone else did so you contributed a lot to the oldgens. You also played BW which I now came to appreciate it's not that memey anymore.
trace:you're a chill dude, thanks for playing BW for our team. When we started the tour, I hadn't touched BW and no one else really played so we were in the same position as I took on the role as our team's BW prep. I feel like as the tour went on, we got used to the meta and it didn't seem like you didn't enjoy playing so that's cool.
Somalia:Finally Somalia. Week 1 game sure that was unfortunate loss, week 2 you managed to beat Tack albeit with hax but we take those but week 3, it was a winnable matchup but you refused to play it out and unfortunately cancered and we had to SB. I'm not angry about it really, at the end of the day it's pokemon lmao and we got someone who was motivated to play in the end but yeah, thanks for winning 1 game at least.
Thanks for reading, I'll be fading in darkness now but as I do, let's get rid of hail in DPP, you can't be telling me that shit is competitive. DPP UU banned Abomasnow for a reason xD. Walrein dumb and so is Sealeo. It doesn't lose once it clicks Sub
This post went into the flush once the Brionnes are out LOL. Oh well, I'll do a shoutout then since I really liked this team like a lot.
