Meet the boss man who helped me get the most elusive achievement of all time: Get drafted by three different Australian managers in three BSPLs.
Sam has a whopping nine wins to his name in doubles, making him BSPL's most successful BSD player, and nothing can take that away from him. Do not mind what other people thought/have said about your drafting this year, you were awesome.
Being able to do well in all BSPL formats and manage at the same time, is a rare trait which only very few users are gifted with. You are an amazing player and even more so on the sidelines, keeping the team's morale high and cheering them up during the lowest of the lows.
Best manager with lots more titles to come, including World Championships. Should our paths cross again in the future, regardless we meet as teammates or rivals, you will always be a good friend and have a place in our hearts.
Pearl
You know the one guy that studies for his exam the night before and still manage to score higher than everybody else in the class? Pearl is that guy.
The amount of prep he puts into the five matches is probably less than the prep GE puts into one of his match but Pearl still does well, he is crazily good. I have been on the same team with Megazard for two years in a row and I know a pro player when I see one.
The burden you had to carry on your back this year was huge and you did not disappoint your 20k price tag. You are funny, friendly, competitive and GODLY at the same time. I have no doubts in your skills and it is only a matter of time before you add Snake/SPL to your fine collection.
Feis
Feis, the magician and second-in-command of the pups. Your BSPL performance gets better every year but unfortunately real life hit you like a truck this time around and there is nothing we can do with these IRL emergencies.
Your GBU may be rusty but you put up a good fight vs Meese the memer and never forget your past GBU victories against top players like Megazard. I hope you and your family are well and please return with Sam next year to lift up that BSPL trophy you guys deserve.
Therazer456
The best BSD player you can draft for less than 5k, and an underrated master in doubles. You went off to a flying start, defeating AuraRay, who was one of the big threats on tour, being a top contender in past BSSC and an experienced DOU player.
Due to unforseen circumstances you blew up after your 2nd loss to hax once again, and do not blame yourself because its Pokemon, these things happen all the time. You are a good competitor and hope to see you stick around.
Cynara
Cynara is not only the undisputed ACE of the team, but also the top pick in the entire draft. One would think that 3.5k for a 5-1 run in the previous BSPL would see a huge spike in her bidding price, but apparently not.
The satisfaction of a 3k player taking down a 40k player is better than winning BSPL itself. You are not known for your BSSC record and we only get to see you around this time of the year, yet you can hold your own against the top players in the community. Hoping to see at least 20k on your name next year and good luck in Snake II.
martha
Rookie pup of the year award goes to martha, a great player with limitless potential. You were on the bench throughout the tournament yet you still managed to push 11oyd the OZ clam to 3 games in your debut match, all that and without getting any practice in. In the end, you did all you could, leaving no regrets. It was a pleasure having you on the team, you did the team proud.
Misaka Mikoto
Lucy-senpai, it is a great honour for me to be on the same team with a mono specialist such as yourself. Despite your loss, you are still an ORAS master, having main'ed the format in two BSPLs in a row proves that fact. To add some salt to my wounds I never managed to beat your team during the short practice session we had. You are one of the oldest regulars of the battlespot community, we would love to see you return for another year.
Devilican
Ika... where do I even begin? I lost 4/5's of GE to the farseers so that was a huge blow to my prep game. You filled in the blank nicely and was always there for me when I needed practice/a break. No one takes you seriously and that is what makes you a dangerous player. My BSPL career may be over but yours has only just begun. Discard the memes in you forever and become the true great player you were meant to be.
Havens
An enthusiastic team player who always kept his spirit high. You were active on Discord and ready to sub in whenever one of our BSD players got hit with the IRL hammer and your morale support on the bench was fabulous. I saw your game 2 replay and to me that was most memorable, a hard fought and well earned victory, treasure that feeling forever. You did not get to shine much this year but I know your time will come.
nintendogeniuses
The real sleeper of the team: NG, everyone loves him. Do not let that single loss in your BSPL debut get to you, you did what you could in that kind of matchup. You are not quite ready yet to take on the top names, but your ceiling/potential is much higher than theirs. Be confident and never yield to pressure, make happiness not salt, you will be a BSS champion one day.
CapriSunGod
Unused but not forgotten, you are a fun guy to have around on Discord and I enjoyed our talks about OU and the OST. Unfortunately you did not get to play but do not give up on battlespot, we welcome you to join our community on both PS and Discord.
Closing Words
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the team for my underwhelming performance this year. I could not pull through during the weeks where it mattered the most, notably during my loss in week 3 where we tied with the farseers. A win there would have definitely lessened the pressure on our team and given us a much better chance at playoffs.
I want to thank Sam for entrusting me with the SM BSS slot, where the competition was fierce and being able to start 3 weeks in a row was a great privilege. Thank you for drafting me and giving me the opportunity to feel what its like to be on the defending champion's team.
