Normally i wouldnt be writing something like this unless we won but the events of the season makes me feel like i have to just for closure. While our season had a lot of negatives there is no point in hampering on those events, but what i can say is you guys were great to team with. I hope you dont let this season get to you too much as the best is yet to come. Many of you continue to get better as players and i can safely say even after we missed out on playoffs that we had the best team on paper. Even though i went 5-0, it was a lot more satisfying watching my teammates succeed rather than myself which is a big reason i still play DPL. Now that i got that out of the way im gonna talk about the negatives.

Im gonna keep this brief but looking back on our season there were multiple problems that quickly arose w1 and during the draft period. Our oras teams were horrible and this caught my eye v fast. In a format like this where u cteam mons, being able to outplay is a luxury rather than a necessity and with the oras teams we had, not only did we have to outprep but had to outplay. The next problem was that we were overmocking and letting that effect our gameplay in the actual game. Look you can mock 5000 times for all i care, but when it starts making you change good sets to something less optimal and playing w something a certain way in the real game then we have to evaluate our metrics.

fwiw No point in writing indiv shoutouts since we didnt win and u guys know how much i appreciated having you as teammates.

There were ups and downs and many moments where I was really just pissed at things. It was emotionally exausting at many points and felt like not caring anymore, only to come back and care again. It certainly wasnt optimal. But it was all worth it, winning it all just completes the journey but at the end of the day this wont mean shit. I did what I could inside my limits to make this team perform, and my teammates did theirs too in their own way. Something about this team made me wanna win even more than i wanted to in s1 or s2 just bc i had a lot of friends on this team that share the desire to win. This will leave a bad taste in my mouth for a while bc if 1-2 things went differently we'd be in playoffs at this point.

Where will I personally go from here? I really don't know. maybe I'll just quit, maybe I'll keep playing and pushing myself to get better at mons. I'm just so old in this game and the best I've been is right now, but it's been a core part of my entire hs years for sure. I'll do whatever I feel like doing, but what I'll never do is forget what we did this season. No other DPL mons experience was better than this and not having the chip is just a validation for other teams to remember us. If you ever wanna talk to me bout anything hit me up i'll be around but this is my final draft experience for a couple months at the minimum.

One for the ride....
