~ KACAW! SHOUTOUTS ~
Texas Cloverleaf - My opinion about you summed up: you're smart man. Not only did you manage to draft a lot of strong battlers, you also got some of the nicest teammates one could wish having. Although you did give us a lot of freedom regarding the team's leadership, you were always there in our darkest moments, keeping me from leaving when my confidence and will to play RU were at its lowest and being very patient and reasonable with the squad in general. You know, I actually hear some people talking shit about you every now and then, but no matter what they say, you're definitely up there as far as managers go (classic Spirit calling "R.I.P. Pearl" right after you drafted me, just to fail fitting into his team afterwards while we just rocked together. I had to refer this somewhere in here sorry LOL)
kd24 -
WAIT WTF TEXAS HAS AN ASSMAN LOL Just kidding man, it's unfortunate that you couldn't be around as much as you'd like to. May life be
kinder to you in the future :)
Tesung -
Stop haxing me in RU tests with stolen squads please, CBB couldn't be more right about you. But good god, you're A BEAST at Pokemon. It also helped that you were one of the most active people in our chat, always willing to look over people's squads and stealing some to test with me when I didn't really have anyone else to play with as far as our team goes. You're one of the main pillars of our team, securing us a win pretty much every week while being chill af at the same time. Sorry for sparing CBB in the FALCON HUNGER GAMES and choking against WEPWNPOKEMON tho :( Maybe your life counseling will take amir somewhere besides watching 50 shades with other boys ahah. ALSO, almost forgot this. fuck you for making me wake up on purpose to watch you playing PDC just to finish the game b4 I logged in,,,,,,,, I looked like a zombie the day after
IAmGingy - You had to wait some time for your turn, and I know you're probably not happy with how it turned out, but have faith yourself man. Don't let bullshit and badmouthing bring you down. A nice teammate in general, even when he wasn't starting. You also took that Draco Meteor crit to the face like a man, nothing but respect for that
PROBLEMS - Oh god, don't even know where to start with this one. You were definitely one of the people I was hyped the most about meeting, like, I was legit curious to see how you guys managed to get "the most prestigious Pokemon clan ever" together. I didn't even need to ask that question though, just being your teammate gave me the answer and I swear your confidence is self contagious. Seeing you getting ready every week with that winner attitude single handily made me want to drop off league and build some RU squads. Just don't bring full stall in Ubers against kitty again haha.
Also, it's never the last time as long as there are Falcons who're yet to do their shoutouts :) BLUFF GOD 4EVER
bugzinator - gdi, oli and Texas seriously created a monster duo who's about to slay UUPL ahah. ngl, I was a little bit salty at the beginning about you taking my favorite tier all to yourself, but I'm glad I was patient and backed you up whenever I could. You bounced ridiculously hard during the second half of SPL, showing just how much of a god you are and how all you needed was time to get used to Smogon UU. Now all you need is to stop being lazy (Finch won't always be there man,,,) that loss to King UU tho, you're scum nvm. Also, I'm not a 40 year old fake girl who plays League of Legends e_e
meeps - Not your season man, unfortunate. I'm sure you'll do better if you ever decide to try your luck again tho. bugzinator says you're a god and I'll trust his judgment because someone who brings Aerodactyl 4 weeks in a row is clearly trustworthy
Toxzn - Dang man, I couldn't ask for a more reliable teammate. Our OUers being 7-1 together by week 3 was massive, and while you did tilt slightly as far as battling goes during the second half of SPL, picking up NU and RU at the same time while still giving feedback to our OU players was nothing short of impressive, really got a ton of respect for you and wouldn't mind being your teammate again in the future. Also, just realized this now... WAIT WTF HOW DID YOU ONLY GO FOR 3K that's like the biggest steal of the entire tournament smh
TheFourthChaser - So, let's make something clear right now: my knowledge of Doubles is literally zero. However, I think I'm still smart enough to come to the conclusion that someone who manages to get past a +2 Mega Kangaskhan, a +6 Azumarill, a +5 Entei and an Ally Switch shenanigan all in the same game is a lord at what he's doing. Shame that life is far too unkind and we didn't really get to talk much. As everybody's probably told you already, your record is far from reflecting what you can do at this game. Good luck with life and nationals as well :)
High Impulse - I swear you should've seen my fucking face when I found out my BW player was slaying people on a fucking phone using McDonalds' internet. Holy shit. You're also really dedicated and always looking to test your stuff (I don't think I've ever defeated you during SPL tests rip), to the point where not even your Week 1 loss was able to stop you from getting a neat 6-3 record. Call him #10 rank in BW powerrankings ahah. Hope you get lucky with the Taylor Swift concert and the wolf roleplay @_@
TV-Rocka - You know man, I'm actually really sad because I wanted to refer to you in my shoutouts as the "Silent Killing Machine". However, even you were active to an extent during this playoff week, offering help in the tiers you know and having some really cute interventions too. I mean:
20:44 Pearl you're fine with that right
20:44 TV-Rocka sure
20:45 TV-Rocka thanks for the trust in me
Of course we're gonna trust you man, you're
AMAZING at Pokemon. I swear watching you play this game just made my mind drift off my body every. single. time. Scoring wins with Pokemon like Custap Magnezone, Custap Heatran, Togekiss, which I never really expected to see in DPP at all. Hell, even this week your squad was incredibly fun, even though you couldn't quite make it. It was a pleasure to be your teammate. Hope we get to talk a little bit more if we're ever in the same team again :)
Golden Sun and
Smurf. - The 3rd Gen slayers. It's unfortunate that we didn't really get to talk much, although you were undeniably always there for us. It's also unfortunate that we didn't really get to see Smurf shining or that Golden Sun's record doesn't really reflect how much of a beast he is, but we still managed to do well enough in spite of that. Hope to see you around next year boys!
Bomber92 - The first part of the Italian old gens duo. Another person I regret not having talked to more, but you were also there for the team. Don't let your record dictate your skill, picking GSC up is no easy task, but we're glad you did it for us :)
marcoasd - porco dio
Myzozoa - THIS MAN WON THE FIREBOT FALCON'S HUNGER GAMES OML! HE SLAYED BLINGAS LIKE THE MAN HE IS Now really, it's a shame that you didn't get any time in the spotlight and life sort of held you back from chilling around with us, but that's just how it is :( Hopefully next year will be different for you, gl man
~ NON-FALCON SPL-RELATED SHOUTOUTS ~
SilentVerse - For bearing with my upset-self when I didn't feel like playing RU. You're one in a million man, I didn't even know it was possible to find such a kind person on the Internet. Bonus points for being a fucking monster at League and Pokemon.
Omfuga -
Nothing else to say.
jk, was a pleasure to have you around late in the game. The squads you had your input on were fire as well, thanks a lot.
dekzeh is going to murder you in UUPL tho,,,
Bouffalant - For bearing with my upset-self when I didn't feel like playing RU 2. A really helpful test partner when I did feel like it though. Also, a really good friend to have around, thanks a lot man. Just don't overdo it when you decide to go with the flow and don't let jealous people (me included) / your performance this SPL bring you down.
The Falcon Haters - Texas would probably beg me to link that video he linked for the CBB shoutout right now, but I don't think that'd be appropriate. It's unfortunate that you don't like our squad for whatever reason, be it because of individual people or just for the bad luck remarks (and for reference, while I try to stay away from drama and stuff like that, I do think we had our shares of bad luck during the season, but it's Pokemon so there's not much that can be done about it, especially because we probably also got some good luck along the road). Just keep in mind that we're gonna walk away from SPL with our heads up and either stay around on Smogon to annoy you some more or just find better stuff to do with our lives, so it's not like our fall to Ruiners is your victory :)
marcoasd 2 - lol did you really think I was going to leave porco dio as the only thing in your shoutouts? Yes, I thought so too. But you're legit good at RBY no matter what people say, and while I cba to google translate Italian, you were also a good chat presence as well. Stay up man :)
Nails - URGOD BOYS
Kanbe Kotori - I DIDN'T WIN A SINGLE SPL GAME USING MY WAIFU'S NAME AS A NICK ;___; I'M A SHAME TO THE 2D HOLE
Everyone else non-SPL related - Be it #rarelyused, #passionate or Minus' Skype group, I've got something coming up for you guys, so stay tuned and don't worry about being left aside in this post (mostly because it's probably big enough already e_e)
