i dont think people who are struggling in open have any right to shit talk aim's skill in tf2. aim is an insane pocket and mad-lux blue just outplayed us. congrats to them and they earned that win.

So. I guess it has not been really that big of a secret that Wu Tang Club (formerly hii open) has been struggling recently, and for the last year or so since I took over the team. I could sit here and cite how toxic ESEA has been all season with their inability to maintain a proper service. I could blame the revolving door of players that has come through our team since Universe took his vacation. I could say that mumble toxicity and poor teamwork doomed this team to fail.

But the reality is that none of those things really causes a team to die. Or maybe all of them do, and then some other factors. Everyone had their reasons for wanting (or not wanting) to part ways, but I don't think the specifics are really all that important. This is a personal post, and maybe it doesn't quite belong here, but I wanted to give my thanks to all of my team members, and to the community for a fun year.

Benroads: Thank you for stepping up and taking the pocket position, and filling it so well. For the first time in a long while I felt I had a pocket soldier that I could begin to synergize with.

Rastsy: Thank you for sticking with this, long after I think you had wanted to just bolt. Your dedication means the world to me and I am deeply, deeply sorry that this team could not give you the success you so desperately wanted in this game. You deserved better.

Pinkushin: Our late night inane conversations and theorycrafting was a bigger help on the sleepless nights where just talking to someone made all the difference in my life. You are a better friend, and a better man, than you will ever give yourself credit for. I hope that this team at least showed you some of that.

Freakin and Radium: We didn't play long together, but your flexibility, constantly great attitude and desire to have fun meant you were both excellent additions to the lineup. To you, I am sorry that the last 3 weeks couldn't have been a better utilization of your time.

Universe: Thank you for the team, thank you for picking me up in the first place, thank you for the roster and the good times and for being patient with me.

A year is and isn't a long time. It's only a small fragment of our lives, but in videogame talk it might as well be an eternity. Those who say that "its only a game" are deeply discounting the real aspect of competitive TF2. The people, the relationships we forge and break. I'm proud of these relationships, of this team. Not many teams could take three straight seasons of mediocrity and losses and still work together towards a common goal. Our wins were soaring reminders that there is talent buried in each of our 6 members. Our losses were devastating reminders of just how little we had improved as a group.

I fear that we will be seen as a failure, not necessarily in that pejorative sense (there must always be a bottom four), but instead in the sense that Faulkner used in a 1956 interview. "All of us failed to match our dream of perfection." He said "So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible." We failed with a certain grace and style that I hope was associated with our interactions with other teams. No swearing at each other, no yelling matches between the players. 6 friends, in a mumble, putting a slowly dying team to rest with a shred of dignity. We didn't have the strength to bring out the individual talent and soul so as to shine in our luminosity, and so the connections that held us together frayed. But we didn't snap, we didn't break. We could at least be that strong.
