Started the year off as a random, only really known on PO. Played in a few Smogon tours but did nothing amazing.

My first big opportunity came in POWC, where I played LC. I did terribly and went 0-5 :/ Around this time I met Disaster Area, and joined PP.

Next month I somehow got drafted for LCPL on the Goletts, this was my first Smogon team tour, it was nice being on the same team as SPL level players like Poek and Eternal Spirit (and the goat Brazilian Army). I played twice and lost both, this time playing the best tier ever DPP LC. (kumiho haxed me :()

throughout Spring and early Summer I pretty much lost in every tour I entered, mostly due to low motivation. However, I entered in all the Grand Slam cups and did pretty well, getting to R5 of UU Open and making it past R1 of every cup except for NU (I lost to Mazar lol).

The end of Summer came and I had the chance to manage in POCL. I enjoyed managing the last time (over 5 years ago), and since I probably wasn't going to get drafted, this was a no brainer. I drafted a really good team, but unfortunately we didn't reach playoffs :(.

Lastly there was the WCOPP, I wasn't expecting to win a match at all tbh, but I went 3-3 in DPP, beating some good players. I could've done better if I didn't choke against Nightcore (why didn't I CM again herp)

Hopefully next year I can join more individual tours and get more involved with this community :)
 
I must admit that I find all of the hatred in the competitive scene rather tiresome. Whether it's random trolls besmirching me or people from Pokemon Perfect mocking Disaster Area on Smogon, I have become rather annoyed by all of it. However, I would like to say that, ever since the GGFan embargo has been lifted, I have generally been well-received on the Smogtours server and the forum. Yes, there are still a group of sad, pathetic, embittered losers from a decade ago who try to put me down on the other discord, but for those that continue to hold childish grudges over nothing, I have but one thing to say to you:

SWIM IN GARBAGE, O YOU GARBAGE.
