We finally won the World Cup! Congratulations to Asia for being great opponents in the Finals, I always thought you guys are a dangerous team to face. Also to Germany and especially France, who certainly gave us a scare until the very end. I think all our games in that series ended up being a 1-0 or 2-0 to either side, except for LuckItUp’s game haha. I won’t be able to forget being ggGrassKnot’ed by a Superachi for a while either.
Shoutouts:
Stone_Cold22: You weren’t around as much as all of us (including you) would’ve liked in this tournament, but you are still a great captain, the best for our group of guys for sure. Like dragonuser said you always know how to raise our morale, and I am thankful that you recruited both me and CTC to a team with not only an amazing group of players but also a team with great chemistry. I both love and hate playing you in BW since I know my losses to Shaymin, Scrafty, Mantine, Swanna (although I don’t think I ever lose to this one) can and will be used against me. Also reiterating that the trolling incidents the team pulled on you were because we love you, Dave. I’m sure we will stay in touch for years to come.
Yondie: While Dave wasn’t always on irc, big Yonder is always there for us, keeping the chat active if only by talking about cool animes and mangas, which I also enjoy. You’re one of the coolest new guys I’ve met on East, and I now understand why even before wcop dragonuser said that team East wouldn’t be the same without you. You and Dave are practically co-captains on this team, and I think the fact that you guys have different personalities only makes the team better, as we all know you both want what’s best for East. Also for your love towards Emily Ratajkowski, The Breaker, and Friends, I love you no homo. I hope this trophy can dilute the amount of salt running through your blood. #StarsAligned
August: Being on the same team with the legendary Mr. Smith himself is unreal. For a guy who can only play one tier like me its amazing to see someone who excels in so many tiers. I think the Grand Slam is yours to win, so I’ll be rooting for you on that. It may not mean much coming from a guy with a mediocre record as me, but I think it’s pretty clear that your wcop record doesn’t reflect your skill level as a player. Unfortunate circumstances such as hax and 50:50s really hurt you in this tournament, but I’m glad you took it for the team. #StayBlazed my friend
Bad Ass: I know you are a great player even before wcop from watching you play in tours and your youtube videos bashing me on my OST game (ouch my feelings!), and seeing you play in this tour only reaffirms that belief for me. You managed to wiggle your way to a win from less than desirable matchups vs France and Germany, both of which are crucial for our team. Also as CTC said you have a really DRY sense of humor, but you’re such a good kid who always insists on doing the right thing so I guess that makes up for it huehuehue.
BKC: Best stall player in BW. No matter how much you hate playing BW2 OU you still wreck at this tier. I like how you go out of your way to use Tailwind Offense and Sun Offense to throw your opponents off, but yet you still won 6-0 both times you used stall. You even rejected your girlfriend’s offer to hangout just to teambuild and play your wcop game, so I guess in a way you deserve this trophy the most out of all of us lol. You’re just a really chill guy to talk to, and those team building text messages would be something I truly miss.
<&BKC> WHERE THE FUCK IS SMOGON IM GOING TO FUCK LIZARDMANS MOM IN THE ASS IF I DONT GET MY FUCKING SMOGON BACK!!!! FUCK GR8ASTARD AND FUCK DRAGONUSER TOO
CTC: Where do I even start with this guy. The complete embodiment of a PO (BAN ME PLEASE), you’re loud, conceited, and obnoxious... on purpose. Skype calls are dead without you, and I think it made everyone realize how much you liven up the East team just by being your usual (BAN ME PLEASE) self. I won’t make comments about your teambuilding/battling skill because everyone knows you don’t need any more ego boost, except that you’re complete shit at both. Just kidding, CTC always made sure everyone knows what a shitty matchup he had prior to a game, and the only reason he ever wins a Pokemon game is by outplaying his opponents with his superior intellect. I hope we can be teammates in SPL but I’m 99% the Ruiners will retain you so I guess fuk bloo :]
How to build like CTC:

dragonuser: I finally realize why everyone said dragonuser received the most blowjobs out of everyone in East: you’re the best guy anyone could ask for in a team tournament. It goes without saying that you’re a great player, but you’re constantly helpful in teambuilding and testing, always have constructive and positive things to say unlike the guy above, and is overall a really chill guy. As long as you continue to play this game you will always be East’s backbone. I will always look forward to the chance of teaming up with you again. Also Akame is hot hehe
Lizardman: A great player with a knack to bring the chat to life with the most random things to say, I’m happy to be on the same team with you. Echoing what dragonuser said, you need to have more confidence and time during wcop. Don’t let the trolls get to you man. Either way though, I think you are a great player and team East just wouldn’t be the same without your presence (see: THELIZ bin).
ShakeItUp: LuckItUp has a 1/16 chance to lose in a team tournament. Some people might say that there is no way this is all due to luck, and that he has to have a great amount of skill in conjunction with some luck to pull this kind of record, but I completely disagree. SIU without luck would be a worse Jayde at best. Lol jk man you’re a great player and a fun guy to have around on irc and skype. Your attitude towards this game is very refreshing: it is just a game after all. I’m glad you decided to talk to me before wcop so we can sort everything out with Stone_Cold, as without you on the team we wouldn’t inherit the luck that comes with it.
IFM: Great guy and a very solid player, you’ve built a few cool teams during the playoffs. I had hoped that BKC would’ve used the team you made in his finals game, but he decided to yolo it and use sun instead. I wish you could’ve been more active in irc, but nonetheless I’m happy we finally won the trophy!
Jayde: You are a very good player and iirc you haven’t even played this game for that long so you can only improve as the time goes by. I respect you if anything for refusing to be bullied by CTC into submission, I’m sure you will be an integral player for East eventually but in the meantime we all got a blue pixel trophy for show! Oh and the freeze fucking mattered.
Peachy: One of the most skillful players on the team, it was a shame that you didn’t want to be as involved in wcop this year, but at the same time it gives other players like me a chance to play so I guess it all worked out. Needless to say that you still bossed for us in the finals, getting us that crucial second win that puts our team at ease. I hope we can still keep in touch if only to talk about the latest Akame chapters once a month haha
Nails: Helpful random on the East channel, was gonna say thank you but he said he hates me so fuck you too bro. jk Nails has been a positive presence on our channel as long as I can remember, shame that you have some kind of Toxic fetish that I will never understand.
Tobes: I don’t talk to you much so I can only say one thing: the legend of TobesTran lives on!
Lamppost: Also didn’t get to talk to you much but much like Tobes your legend in the form of last year’s tiebreak vs Oceania lives on. Best of luck in your LoL endeavors, because I honestly don’t have a single clue wtf you were saying.
PDC: One of the most active guys in our channel, watching you use crazy sets/teams have been entertaining to say the least. Ebelt Gyarados still sucks imo, but hey what do I know
DittoCrow, StevenSnype/Andrew/BingBongBaller, Fabbles, Uragg, sirndpt: I would’ve much preferred a hotter group of cheerleaders but oh well, you work with what you have.
I would like to end this by saying that even though we were favorites from the very beginning given the great players we had on the team, this win is only made possible because of our team chemistry: the core of the team stayed largely the same as last year, and everybody realized that we can only win by working hard, constantly willing to test teams and improve our game. Thanks to you guys my wcop experience has been incredible.
p.s. to AsianAkhiMarth don't let the haters get to you, you crumpet-eating-rice-hating fagboy! It would've been much better if you just post the logs of Asia raging, but we know you have the technological ability of a two-year-old.
