Big shoutout to all the chairs being chill and enduring my popoffs.
Jezmo and Atyeo: Firstly, thank you both so much for your guys kind words and amazing support between games even when playing you both mid-set, that was absolutely outstanding sportsmanship right there. I've taken what you guys have said on board, and I'll do my best to keep my head up no matter the circumstances from now on.
I
really don't feel I should have won the sets that I did against you both, as you're both incredible players, so our sets have taught me to be a lot more careful and less over committal not just in last hit scenarios, but in general. (like letting myself get shield grabbed near the ledge at kill % in my most important part of the tournament, that was a much needed wake up slap >__>)
Ghost: Thanks for teaming with me in doubles for the win, and a huge congratulations on your big victory. It felt so great being so excited together to get top 8 and supporting each other despite our usual rivalry, we defended SA together really well. Good luck in the US, you can go far.
SA crew in general: Your guys support was absolutely breathtaking, you all supported me every step of the way throughout the whole weekend, and I definitely wouldnt've made it as far as I did if not for all your outstanding support and encouragement. I sincerely can't thank you all enough, all your constant support meant so much to me. It was an amazing atmosphere when we'd have all of SA united together watching and cheering on one of our brethren in a match in the top 32 bracket, that really united us. Those moments was probably my favorite highlight of the event.
We're all one big family <3
Waveguider: It was so great to finally have a chance to properly get to know you in person and finally get some games in, since we didn't get a chance at BAM, and it's just like everyone says, you're an amazing player, and you were super nice, relatable and easy going, and you played really well this weekend. Can't wait for the next opportunity to play you again, your Wii Fit Trainer and Greninja are outstanding and deserve recognition, keep up the amazing work my friend.
Kai: Dude, I know the event didn't really go the way you wanted it to outside of top 8, but everyone was blown away by the event and your incredible effort you invested into it. Top 8 vids were so amazing and made for such a special atmosphere, probably the biggest highlight of the event to everyone. You put so much into this event and it was an event to remember for years to come, my favorite Smash tournament ever by far. <3
We're going to make absolute certain to have more trained TO's in the upcoming year so you can spend more time with your stream like originally planned rather than having to divide up your time the way you did. Thank you so much for an incredible experience.
Googers: Finally got to meet an LHC bro <3 Looking forward to the next time we can get the whole crew together in full, it's going to be a blast. :D
Invisi: Hadn't seen you for so long, it was great to see you again man.
You really impressed everyone with your Jigglypuff myself included, and created some really good upsets, great work on getting 1st in your pool!
Jigglypuff rest > Scarecario
Nick: Huge congratulations on winning Melee!
Looking forward to seeing how far you go with your talent, keep rocking that Marth.
M/Kira and Jaice/Deez: I don't think our doubles sets could have been any closer, you guys were all winners and had great teamwork going, you two were probably the strongest teams at the event imho, super impressive performance by all of you.
Will finish the rest of this list tomorrow, too tired to finish the rest tonight.
