First of all, Congrats for Christos and Erperis for the trophy, ik you guys did your all to win the whole thing and I am very happy both of you took a chance on my little brother Luc(Kokujo O Tatsumaki) and it did play out really well for your team as his perfomance was outstanding.

Luc, te felicito por el trophy capo, si alguién lo merece es vos y te felicito por cuanto mejorastes en el juego( que te juro me sorprendió positivamente)

Now,Without further Ado, lets talk about the Seers, but first a quick word about a dude that was really important to me, yall know Callous, we should collective appreciate him more than we do 110% and his approach to everything was an inspiration, starting with this Article The CALLOUS Guide To Managing Team Tours | Pokémon Perfect so yeah much appreaciated, thank you for everything and for hosting the tour alongside Quint


NOW The actual s/o


When I reconnected with HSOWA after such a long hiatus, i didnt expect this team to be so epic, HSOWA didnt even had an Assistant and i quickly told him that i would be heavilly honored to join the squad as his assistant, which, fortunally for me he accepted, so HSOWA, much love you are the best, and I am really really glad we bond so well as a managing duo and I hope all the players feel the same, cause we really did OUR best to make sure everybody enjoyed the tournament to its fullest and ik we both dont regret a single decision we did.


MIKMER : IF we ever comeback to manage the Seers on next PPL, we are retaining you 110% and i will recommend any future Seers Manager to do the same, damn I never imagined i would have see someone so generous with the teammates and so hardworking when it comes to RBY( which you made me change my views on, I am definetilly playing it after this tour), i love your easygoing personality and its is all aside of the UNBELIEVABLE streak of victims of Mister Mikmer every week


LAROXYL: Long time LC friend, ngl I wasnt expected you were as talented in Old gens as you are in LC( dude is legit top 3 builder of LC in my honest oppinion), IK you would work hard and you did all, thanks to you our team didnt collapse after Louna leaving, much love and respect, I hope i will see you tryharding for Smogon Classics and playing tournaments on this very website, you are THAT GOOD, believe in yourself as much as I do.

VANI: I wish we had interacted more and you didnt tilt cause a TON of my friends always says to me you are a great person and we know your qualities is WAY BEYOND what is on the sheet, i am glad we drafted you even it didnt work out, hope we get teammed up on another team tour

AIKO/Notorius Big: You know I really like you and we have been friends for like 7-8 years now? Crazy how fast the time flies, hope you are doing great in life, you will always be to me that RU user that i taught LC back in the day, thank you very much for putting effort and making life easy to us winning on our weakest tier


DICE : One think we knew from the very beggining is we really wanted Dice on the team, if you took mons more serious I am sure you would be a top 3 smogon all time player, I am a huge fan of your games, but come on you almost make me DIE yesterday, LOL.


MUSHI: I think nobody loves ADV as much as you do, your ADV group/league was one of the places I had the most fun on mons universe, which in my eyes is a reflect of your INCREDIBLE personality , I am really glad we get you and i am sure you will progress as an ADV main, keep it humble and SPL is a real possibility for you in a near future.


Jhonx: Dale,al fin no necesito gastar más mi Inglés Kaelsiano, Vos sabes que sos una de las personas que más me gusta en todo Pokemon, Tu presencia sola ya hace con que la atmosfera del equipo mejore sumariamente, es algo estupendo, as veces los petes no entenden quién sos en realidad, a mi muchisimo me agrada por el gran AMIGO que sos y por el esfuerzo que pusistes en todo eso, espero que tenga una vida increíble y encima te digo que si soy el Manager de los Seers otra vez estas retaineado 110%


Luisotte: Mi Veneco favorito, Ahora tenés un como un gran amigo, literalmente sos una de las personas mas divertidas que he conocido en Poke, la cosa mas divertida era pelotudear con vos y otros hispanicos(Jhonx y Enzo) en el chat siempre tilteaba a CKW jajajaja, Sé que va ser un gran lider para la Selección de Venezuela en las competencias que estan por venir, y como alguién que coordena una selección rival y hermana te deseo todo lo mejor,

CKW: And here we are again, I was the first one to take a chance on you when we were on the Afrabs chat( i really miss this times) unfortunally Tho, we didnt get to win like the first time when we literally suffer every week, qualified on the last game, as a friend, you are one of the most LOYALS people ever and one of the best people to just talk about life much LOVE, RESPECT and Everything.

Rokhan: Man you were one of the greatest scouters of all time, one of the greatest moment of the tour was when you destroyed Caetano, you were a pleasure to hangout with on our chat and I would definetilly put you on the retaining list, wish you the best and hope we can team up again, you are so HARDWORKING, 30% of our scouting sucess was your work.


Enzo: Un capo, el mejor Cordobes de toda la Argentina(Pete nunca me invito para el asadito :( ) Vos y toda la Argentina sabe el potencial gigantesco que tenés, tengo certeza que va ser el Primer Argentino a ganar torneos como el OST/ST/OLT y otros con los huevos que ponés y con todo, espero estar por acá cuando ganes estas cosas, va explotar de alegria el corazón deste viejo( Re banco el Asado y la Juntada de la Selección después)


Bleach: EL SALVADOR, nos salvastes como 5 veces y siempre te mandaba un mensaje cuandos estabas al pedo jajajajajaja, sos un gran amigo y el hecho de que teniamos a vos y a Enzo me daba una tranquilidad de que todo podria pasar y seguriamos competitivos, siempre es una increíble experiencia estar contigo en cualquer torneo.


Stockings: I wish you were more active, still i have most things to talk about you, thanks to you i finally find out the Manchester City has fans older than 15( Luisotte y más 5), you are a really good friends and i would definetilly draft you once more in another tournament


Louna: Even tho you dropped the tour week 4 while you were with the team you seemed pretty chill, i wish you stayed so we could have had more flexibility on how to use Laro, Enzo and Bleach.



Thanks to the organization of the tournament for letting me manage, if God allows next year i will be there alongside Hsowa to fight for the this trophy.


Y por fin un gran saludos a la Selección de La Argentina que es lo que me mantenia jugando esto a pesar de que no tengo tiempo nin para tomar una birra con mi mujer jajajajajaja, en especial a todos los amigos que jugarón este torneo( Ziloxx, Electricity Cat, Enzo, Luchik, TLTK, Takatalvi y Luc(Kokujo) ) en poco tiempo estaremos todo junto buscando el trophy para la Argentina y la evolución de ustedes y de otros jugadores Argentinos es lo que más me motiva.

Snowpoint Yetis, Champions of PPL 2021

This was such a rollercoaster of a season; incredibly wild from start to finish.
Despite the three incredible retains, we messed up our draft and ended up with a rather unbalanced roster. Granted, I was happy with the talent we had acquired, but when your 12-men roster consists of 6 BW mains, you must admit you didn't draft very well and that you somehow need to make up for it. When we discussed about our possible lineups with ErPeris, we realized that the way to move forward would be to line up a team that, first and foremost, would be hard to beat. To achieve that, we would need our top performers to win consistently and the rest of the team to not lose too much. Our lineups reflected that and, well, our approach worked ! However, this approach only works when your players are cooperative and determined to win and ours were definitely both, for which I want to thank them all. Now, onto personal shout-outs.

ErPeris , this tournament means a lot to me for several reasons and to win it with you, it is special. After three seasons as a duo, this trophy is ours and we won it on hard mode ! A suboptimal draft that left us with an unbalanced roster, a player that turned into a valorant main mid-season, ridiculous activity situations... This was a very stressful season, but that makes our victory all the more sweet. I think we complement each other very well as a duo and I hope we can continue our streak of success, with less mistakes and even more fun !

Sunday Warrior Shortage , stop losing it ! :shockedLapras:
Moments like the one you had in last year's SF tiebreak can break a player, but not you. Your desire and determination to come back and win this tournament was second to none and you backed up your words with excellent performances from start to finish. At this point, it's evident to me that you're a world class player and it's about time more people notice. PIXELSSSS !!!!! (ceremony moved to Sunday :shockedLapras: )

Luck>Skill , you owned.
I appreciate that you returned and I am happy we didn't waste your time (unlike some of your opponents that would john you forever, lol). BW feels like a madhouse at the moment, so your expertise there felt wasted at times. However, your impeccable, undefeated GSC run is one of the main reasons we won and you can eventually delete that one team left in your builder. :shockedLapras:

melle2402 , I really appreciate it that you came back from hiatus / retirement to play in this tournament and help us win this trophy despite your otherwise low motivation to play pokemon nowadays. This time, you didn't win every week (not that a 5-4 record is bad by all means), but you won when it mattered the most and I am very happy we didn't waste your comeback !

johnnyg2 , stop losing ! :shockedLapras:
You had a difficult start to the season, but you turned it around in playoffs and I am very happy for you. You're a very creative builder (sometimes too creative :blobpeek: ) and a solid player with an excellent attitude. Keep it up man !

Siglut , I am very satisfied with you. Granted, you didn't close the season the way we would had all wanted, but your performances in the regular season were one of the main reasons we made it into playoffs and you definitely deserve lots credit for that. Also a nice teammate, appreciated.

Oiseau Bleu , the silent force of the Yetis. While we messed up and only drafted one RBYer, we did draft one of the best out there. Very humble, but also confident, you let your plays do the talk for you. Félicitations et bien joué mon ami !

Kokujo O Tatsumaki , I feel so lucky we drafted you (shout-out to the WCoPP sheet !). With your very positive attitude and fearless play, you were a core part of our victory. I feel this very solid season is the first of many more to come. Gracias mi amigo !

Links , you were clutch and I wanna thank you. You had to endure lots of RBY because of our messed up draft, your personal record was ruined because of that, but you won the decisive match that made us champions ! Shout-outs to your iconic Zebstrika, to your... beloved Cloyster and to your... mom that "had a bad start but really turned it around when she turned into a blissey" :shockedLapras:

Lulu QLF , merci beaucoup. You were yet another player who played outside of their main tier and despite the implications this had on your personal record, you did your best every time and didn't complain at all. Also, you played fairly well if you factor in your inexperience in RBY. Appreciated.

BlessyZ , very unfortunate season for you on a personal level, which I still don't understand: I think you played well for the most part, almost all your matches were close and you were very often one break / play away from the win, which would always slip away for some reason. Anyway, keep your head up and enjoy the trophy because you worked for it and you deserve it !

Max ^^ , I am sorry you didn't play more and not once in your main tier, but I hope you could at least have some fun and use the experience to improve.

EGALVANC , you could had ruined our season when you decided to play Valorant instead of your BW match and, for that alone, you are one of the worst teammates I have ever had. You deserve a tour-ban more than a trophy, but I feel you would hardly notice anyway.

Last but not least, shout-outs to my friends BluBirD and Kristyl for their incredible support in playoffs. Just as an example of what I mean by incredible support, BluBirD spend 6 hours of his Sunday to help Links test the team that would eventually win us the title. Insane dedication, I love you bro. As a side note, I am still sad Kristyl couldn't win with us because she really is a Yeti, as are several other friends we couldn't draft this time. Maybe this is what will motivate us to come back and defend our title next year ;)
 
Wanted to also shoutout my managers Christos and ErPeris and teammates, a very positive and fun environment throughout the tour. I really struggled getting used to a BO1 format and it was a rough start but glad we could turn it around and win the championships! Look forward to being back next year!
