3	5 Digit United States Cup	May - July 2022	King_Deranker, zfr, ikaenia, RedBirdKai, n00dles.	4th	Certified NM2/DT3 gamer. Bench otherwise. I did also play nm5/6, hd3, dt1/2 tbf, but I was dummy shakey, and switched areas right after this tournament. Amazing team and would love to play with them again.	Link
4	5 Digit North American Duos	July - August 2022	Team Captain. Played with Fuee and HL2371.	Pretty much last.	Lost ro32 to a hard em_rald carry. I believe I accidentally switched areas after this match? I was testing it and couldn't go back. Muscle memory disappeared. Lost ro16 losers (TB) to NO IDEA (Nyazo, mathirah, altar96). Tbh we threw a little, dicking around with fm2 mods and all (I did topscore with fl tho), but really I just couldn't hard carry. Their team had a bit more full-ness to their map capabilities and I was learning a new area accidentally. Would've lost to tonatious nvm tony beat zfr next anyways. It was fun regardless for something I threw together last minute, and we would've had scheduling hell the next week.	Link
5	Visual Novel Duos	August - September 2022	Yugami	Dropped Out.	Kinda inted quals, I had 3 hours of sleep and no time to warmup. Yugami woke up late/wasn't able to warm up much. Had some scheduling issues and Yugami wasn't feeling up to it after not playing well for a bit and seeing the matchups. We did make it through ro128 though because someone got caught up at a church event ???	Link
6	5 Digit Draft Cup 2	September - October 2022	Send Yuri Pics (Captain), Defectum, Hydrole, comm899, mija-, Crynless, JeeeeeeeeeeeeeJ	Quarterfinals, T4	We had 4 people by the end of ro16 (Yuri and Mija had another match because it took so long, others just weren't going to play the maps left). I became the unofficial Captain. Went to TB in ro16. Miikky was cheating in ro16 and hard carried (then promptly got banned after we got elim'd). Felt I played good in quals (T4) but only played fine in match. QF we just got diff'd.	Link
7	Accnome's Banger Cup	October - November 2022	Captain, played with RedBirdKai (rrohe)	Quarterfinals	Played out of my mind in qualifiers but had to tank HD2. Despite getting 18th in quals we get amhappy/pristine ro64 lol. Boolmaster Flex got schedule fucked last minute so we only played Futile ro16. Got some nice acc but kinda inted some plays. Matches are going to get harder... but at least no potentials? Teams are MIA for them. I opened osu and got DMd by a ref... match was easy at least. Played against Geag + txFPS in QF losers. Once we figured them out the match was easy. Just alt abused. Hilariously they wished us luck against Haxagon after... which we needed and used only to get 0 - 6'd. I wish rrohe luck in 4 digit because he ranked up during this tournament with some nutty scores.	Link
8	Catch Academy	September - November 2022	Me	Round of 32	Played against LwL early and got destroyed, fair enough considering I didn't really play catch or practice the pool. Was mostly just 1 misses on my part and they FC'd because ultra low SR. Played against Raff2201 next and did alright. 3-5 and most of the ones I lost were super close. If I realized he was super bad at any mods that I were uncomfortable with then I would've won. Props to the staff though, the tournament was SUPER well ran. The default schedules were good (although 004/Sword did work the first one out with me to be fair), the logo is sick, and the staff was all friendly.	Link
9	Monke Cup	November - November 2022	EmiliaMyMommy (Captain), IIEliteRainII, llllllllllllll, SiematorPL	Didn't Qualify.	Was busy with ABC so I didn't play the quals maps much. But I did a play kinda nutty on the hr1, sightread hd2 and did alright, and kinda inted on a hr2 sightread. FC'd HD1 which was pog for the team. We didn't qualify. There was no ro64 because it would've made the tournament lapse in to Christmas. We might've qual'd if I didn't int hr2/nm2/dt1 but frankly I did everything I could otherwise. Played well considering the chicken wing incident.	Link
10	Bipen's RNG Fest	November, 2022 - Februrary 2023	osuways05 (Captain), jellium, zfr	4th Place	Did pretty good in quals on the stuff I was confident on, but inted hd1/hd3 acc because I accidentally had gamma on. Nearly SS'd NM1 lol. Seed 7. Would've been higher but we had HR/DT issues. NM2 also wasn't the best and we kinda had to fill NM3 because the map was meh. Ro64 was fine but the enemy team was a wee bit toxic because there were some issues with RNG play order because the bot was broken after their captain couldn't show. Maybe don't have goofie timezones next time. Ro32 was a bit funny. Top matchcost despite inting a bit. NM1 FC, reverse choke FM1 HD. Unfortunately in FM1 the miss in the first 70 cost the point. Should've HDHR'd for jellium. Need to work on my finger control under pressure a bit because the nm2 (was effectively a DT2) screwed me because I couldn't relax. Threw HR1 as well. Ro16 was uneventful, but I crushed a DT pick. QF we expected to lose but we kinda slipped by on all the wins. By 70 points at one time lol SF I got rotation fucked and had to tank all the gimmick, and we just threw some points we should've won. Lost TB. Should be able to get by in losers though. Finals we had a rematch and didn't get amazing picks, but to be fair I threw a little. Especially the FM3 I just kept overaiming. Did great on HD1 right after though. Was fun regardless.	Link
11	Featured Artist Tournament	December - March 2023	Geag, richp2k, onegan	Finals	This tournament began my HR arc lmfao We threw ro32 a little in the beginning by sightreading with HDHR overmodding the freemod and joking around... but FC'd everything later lol Got schedule fucked in ro16 and I kinda shitmissed a lot, my reading just felt off. Geag was having some wrist issues but was still sorta able to play but not aim. The main issue were my shitmisses on hd1 tbh. Went hard in QF though, topped match cost and nearly FC'd everything except my dt2 when I was still freezing. QF Part 2 we went to tiebreaker for 0 reason and won. In semifinals we would've played against #1 seed but they dropped out?? Then we went to tiebreaker AGAIN (Boogie!) and I did pretty good. Unfortunately we got slightly schedule fucked again in Finals, missing onegan, Geag woke up late, I took my time getting on and was only partially warmed up. So we threw early match and almost came back later. Did great on HR1 and FC'd FM3. Unfortunately the early nm6 throw kinda fucked us and we picked NM1 when we shouldn't have.	Link
12	All-American Auction House	December - February 2023	zfr (Captain), big lobster, quanhitter37, Smokey01, Sean Kingston (Tums)	2nd Place	The draft was pretty funny, rip AAAH CT Dream team though. 2popte stole CLAM, and Kisoi stole ikaenia. We kinda crush, unexpectedly at times. Team is nice and it's really fun. Finals we didn't do great because we just didn't perform. I did have a nice FC on FM1, but didn't do amazing on nm5 (though I did get exactly what I said I would). I probably should've practiced it more because I for sure could've gotten a higher score and won the point, but to be honest I wasn't expecting to play the map. Grand Finals Losers. Oh my god. One of the biggest combacks and performances of my life. Hauled ass in tiebreaker for the win against Haxagon and Nico. Grand Finals Final. We won the maps we picked that I played, but they also won theirs + our hard rock picks. Lost again to rrohe + Zefkiel. We got second regardless and personally I had fun.	Link
13	UOH Revival Tourney	March - June 2023	Captain, played with Jellium, Sigge, Ploot	2nd	sus Seed 4 with just me and jellium playing tryouts lol The pool in ro16 was insane. Pieces of it were way too hard, I had an out of body experience and threw nm2 and some others, but I clutched up hd1 for Sigge. Lost to Myze/Kisoi/some other giga deranker to be put in losers. Gotta play 3BD0O and Siiphs :skull: Until we didn't. Accidentally schedule fucked them because they came for a last minute reschedule but they had like 2 hours they could play, so they FF'd. Steamrolled our losers GF match 7-0, felt kinda bad but we had to play myze and friends right after. We went 7-4, but a lot of the pool just didn't fit us because I wasn't good enough on tapping or high AR. I threw NM1 and couldn't clutch up HD1. And NM4 was just a joke with me and Ploot throwing. The match was honestly pretty winnable, but Myze averaged 650k in a GF pool which is just not cool. At least we had fun, sightread everything and considering quals was just me and jelly I think we did pretty fucking well.	Link
14	5 Digit United States Cup 2	March - May 2023	ikaenia (Captain), zfr, THE QUEEN (clam world), Miisted, Evan_Dat_Asian	3rd	It starts again. Hopefully it gets badged after Hitomi had some issues. Did fine-ish in tryouts, miles more than enough to make team. Not gonna lie, I'm a little surprised at the team. There's some last minute tryouts, Miisted did way better than I thought, and we only had 12 people actually tryout in the end lol. We seeded 5th. I did pretty alright in tryouts but there was some some tomfoolery on my part. Reverse choked nm1, kinda inted nm2, choked nm3, reverse choked nm4, threw a smidge on hd1, choked dt2 sorta, black screened on dt3 and missed in the first 3 circles. As I kinda expected we didn't have the HR we needed but it didn't matter too too much because it's not like we bottom scored them. Our match against Maryland was insane, we kept trading on our picks until we eventually got a break point on nm5, which pushed us to the win. Then we got crushed by Texas. Then we AGAIN traded picks with Maryland until we lost a TB.	Link
15	USA Random Team Tournament 4	March - April 2023	Me (Captain), begl, Memesical, piki (sans undertale), Kerbalover99	Semifinals + Thug Finals Win (Players Team)	Wasn't going to sign up originally, but did after rety asked me since he wanted to be T2 instead of T1. 5usc was pushed back and UOH didn't start for another few weeks so it was fine. Did not realize I would be T1 so we'll see how that turns out. Begl is gone week one, but it's whatever since CartoonKnight was great and let us 3v3. Got in a damn car accident the DAY BEFORE MATCH during a meetup. Then You's car got stolen after he was going to give me a ride home. Absolute insanity. Lost ro16 TB, CartoonKnight popped off and we really didn't have aim consistency. I also kinda inted a smidge. QF was wacky. Zfr + team forgot about match so we kinda cheesed a win. We won all the reading picks?? I crushed on nm1 as usual. Wasn't that eventful but it was funny to see zfr playing deep rock with 15 minutes until match. Potentials next week will be fucked, but it works a bit in my favor because the other tournaments are going to start. Lost the next week in to Tum's team. We pretty much didn't have Begl and the pool had an assload of gimmick in it so it didn't really work in our favor. But we picked bad with HR2/FM1, and lost TB barely. I think if I didn't sightread it I could've played it way better but I was a bit nervous during it so maybe that was it. Got a way better score playing it after match. I got pulled in to playing Thugs Finals... the pool is certainly interesting.	Link
16	5 Digit North American Draft	April - May 2023	zfr (Captain), vleth, tums, ika, MARVINFRAGZ77, Onigirya, foe	6th or something idk how Swiss works really	I sightread quals and did great on the no mods, fine on everything else. The DT pool was just kinda shit imo. FC'd nm4, choked nm1. Zfr picked me first rotation. The first swiss match was a bit obnoxious. Some scheduling hell and inting on picks. We almost brought it to TB but lost in a close-ish nm4. The 2nd, the opponents didn't really have a team, but their team was mostly for fun so w/e. I inted, had some stuttering issues in the beginning, and in the end of the match I was super hot and my aim was off because of the sweat but we won handidly. Got back at Zefkiel for AAAH in Swiss Round 3, maps were meh but I had fun, some were pretty close like nm1. Swiss Round 5 was I think the worst tournament match I've ever played in. No one wanted to be there on our team, we were missing 2 people. I couldn't warm up tapping and was piss tired. We could've actually won some picks if I performed but I was just not having it. Wasn't even a fun match because the opponents didn't want to play TB.	Link
17	Clashing Tides	June - July 2023	zfr (Captain), Geag, Ploot, Meramipop, Microbic (Taint)	5th/6th	Did fine-ish in quals, considering we didn't have Meramipop, I was super tired, and Microbic left early. Ro32 was pretty funny, we rolled who played and what map we picked and we swept. Felt a little bad for the other team when we 4 way'd nm2 with Ploot on the roster lol Ro16 was uneventful but Quarter Finals oh boy. Zfr was gone to SF for AnimeExpo, and we lost everything by effectively what zfr would put up. Geag also didn't really get much sleep and wasn't playing well, and while I did play well-ish I could've played better. Semi-Finals ploot was out of it, and Meramipop was expected to be late but that was scheduled around as they were supposed to be missing 1 person. Turns out that wasn't true! They had everyone and we were down 1 until halfway through the match. It was funny though, because they got all the picks in the beginning and then just... ran out of maps. It did go to tiebreaker, which I trolled, but zfr came in clutch and we got it pretty handedly. But this is the easy point, the matches are only going to start to get hard now. Finals truly got difficult. In the worst way. Difficult scheduling! We couldn't get our match scheduled and people weren't awake for the default so we had to FF. Kinda an anti-climatic end, we honestly could've won the match.	Link
18	Another Generic Tournament	August - October 2023	Tohru (Captain), NeoPixel201, Punda	Semifinals	Wasn't able to make quals, because I was still on the way back from Japan. But this tournament marks my return, and I am a bit washed on reading. Punda wasn't able to make ro32 because of sleep, and hilariously it went to TB after a tiny bit of inting. I did merely OK in tb but neopixel carried so that was nice. Did fine in ro16, low acc FM2 near FC lol, kinda inted DT3 with a random miss (we won regardless). Pretty much just picked tapping and they couldn't cope. The ref also just died so Eliteronix ended up reffing. QF was a wild match. FC'd 3 maps and put up some decent scores on others but their team was just something else. Needed to FC everything or we lost pretty much. Tohru put up some good scores, NeoPixel was tired after having a lot of matches but FC'd DT2 (on his second playthrough because of some weird quirks) and managed to squeek by on NM1, and Punda unfortunately got killed off in his redemption arc. Maybe he'll be revived next week. Sucks that we have potentials now though, but I was happy I (mostly) held my own against Draxarta. Unfortunately we lost soon after - we were missing Tohru for a day and it mattered just enough that we lost. Can't be mad though, we had fun, the team was chill and I've love to play with them again.	Link
19	Convex's 5 Digit Auction Cup	September - November 2023	Captain, played with Ravexi, chevy, daqao, jaaysfa, Junkmaniac, Dockedcolt	idk last	Someone is going to spend too much on me. Oh I was captain... and I spent too much. I wish I just sat on my hands and waited, Birchman and Polski got pulled late and I probably could've gotten both. I'd like to think my team would've scaled better than others, but we got mega low SR'd so I guess we'll never find out. Props to daqao for mega practicing every week even if morale was low.	Link
20	Ix's Vocaloid Cup 2	September - November 2023	zab (Captain), Miisted, Swiun	Semifinals	zab scouted a Connecticut team but named the team Maryland. Trolled quals myself then lost Ro32 Tiebreaker to a combo game despite having better overall scores. I dropped 1sb, miisted dropped 1x, they had a 1x and a higher misscount I don't remember. On the other hand in our first losers match, me and Miisted 2v3'd and crushed them. We even won the "4" way FC on nm1. The rest of the tournament was just schedule hell until we ended up strolling our way in to a super team.	Link
21	Chronicler's Conquest Cup	October - December 2023	sans_undertale (Captain), Kumiko-, - Kaze-, Toro Inoue, Cerelydra	QF... sorta	idk piki asked so I said yes We qualified, won first round through FF, and didn't win a match, only winning two points between our next two matches. Kinda had schedule hell and I played like shit because it typically ended up after IVC matches where I perma lobbied. Team was chill though.	Link
22	Fulminaire Redux	December - January 2024	ikaenia (Captain), zfr, ploot, FetherFall, Miisted, Punda, choke	3rd	Honestly getting hard carried through this outside of a map I play well here 'n there. My reading is in the shitter and we keep getting matched against tapping teams we can't compete against so I never get to play the maps I can. I have had my moments to shine though, carrying through some nm1 style maps to bring us points we need. Especially my carry in finals TB point... sucks that we lost TB though. It was my style of map my reading just wasn't there, but we were in winners and the team played great that match. It gave me a bit more motivation to try to GF because it feels like we actually have a chance. It's probably the closest to a badge I've ever been, save maybe FAT? But that had some worse super teams to compete against. We got cut short right before TB in GF losers. Frankly the pool was absurd, and after playing TB post match we would've lost it anyways. Choke was MIA (no one has heard from him) which might've helped, but frankly we just got skill issue'd as the pools got higher and higher SR. There were some questionable 7* maps and so many OWC/Corsarce QF maps in the pool... at least I performed on robot stop?	Link
23	Most Epic Mayhem Ever	January - January 2024	Geag (Captain), Phel	Round of 16	First time teaming with Phel! We did fine-ish in quals considering I had to tank hd. The pool wasn't actually that bad outside of maybe nm4/nm5 being questionable. Too bad the bracket is fucked because kisoi/hax/rich deseeded, and we all trolled a map and lost ro32 to low SR. I missed on a jump in a stream map :/ We lost in losers but managed to drag it to tb against the gigateam. Had some shitmisses and they performed well on the maps we couldn't. It was pretty close all things considered.	Link
24	Foxy's Forest Cup	February - April 2024	ikaenia (Captain), Geag, Gleegue, Miisted, Ploot	2nd	We made it stupidly far considering it was just a for-fun team, and to be honest, if there was more gimmick in the GF pool we might've won. We made it to GF winners because the superteam (mainly polski and CallMeRed countering us) started falling apart in mental. Our biggest issue was we had absolutely no scaling on tapping outside of (sorta) me and Gleegue. DT2 was just free most of the time against us, we only had a theoretical nm2 lineup, DT3 was just luck, and nm5 we were sorta 3rd and definitely fourth player gapped. Frankly it wasn't much different for hard rock either, I ended up filling a lot of them unfortunately. Our hidden, fm, and no mod lineups were wild though.	Link
25	USA Random Team Tournament 5	March - March 2024	ajmosca (Captain), dragontiger34, pouge, tsushiroll	Semifinals	I think this was one of the most absurd tournaments I've played in, somehow less sane than the last revision of RTT and UOH. The hosts... forgot to put me on a team so I got filled to the lowest seed, then I couldn't make match for the first round, which we lost. So here I was huffing some hopium that we drag it through losers, which we did win one round, but then here comes strolling along chibi's team with one of the most absurd teams to 6-1 us. But frankly a lot of it was just up to rng, it's in the name. Pouge (as nice as he is) didn't really fit well with me and aj as a team. Neither of us were really hard rock/dt players, and neither pouge nor tsushi could read hidden.	Link
26	Break Time!	April 2024	Just little ol' me.		Needed a tournament break after 5wc tryouts to chill and try to get back my passion for the game. It helped a little, and got me to start grinding HR a bit for 5usc. Have pretty much been playing the game consistently in tournaments for two years, outside of when I went to Japan, so imo it's well deserved.
27	5 Digit United States Cup 3	June - July 2024	Ikaenia (Captain), Zfr, Miisted, osuways05, Grubcat	1st	Heard through the woodworks the forum post is May 1st. It begins. The prizepool got so big they took some and placed it for next year. I nearly FC'd TB in team quals in my sightread run, then I nearly FC'd it again in my not sightread run with hidden. The rest of my scores were mid at best. Didn't really practice much frankly. Grub and Glacier went to a tapping runoff pool and grub won to make team. We swept through to quarterfinals, where we even 7-0'd NorCal. I think for the team this meant a lot, at this was probably the first serious matchup of the tournament, and set the stage for what we needed going forward. Though I can't say we weren't a little stressed going in to New Jersey in SF, but we did 7-3 them. Our first matchup in finals with Texas though - personally - still worried me a little going in, despite all the practice we had as a team. But we would've swept them if miisted's monitor didn't disconnect during FM1 in our first map. I kinda trolled getting NM1 picked later giving them a point because ploot asked nicely (and I liked the map and thought we'd win), but regardless we won 8-4, securing 2nd at minimum. Shit went down in losers though. Texas sorta upset Maryland (it was going to probably be a close match, though seed wise it was an upset), going 8-7. This was probably one of the most interesting matches in the tournament - a lot of traded breakpoints and surprises. In a way too, it worked in our favor, as Maryland could punish us a lot harder on tapping than Texas which typically would shy away from it. We also had the ability to match/exceed their gimmick picks unlike previous years. We swept them in GF, without me or grub having to come out for tapping. Interestingly they seemed to pick safer maps which we would end up clutching up on. I think point wise it looks boring but in the match it was anything but - the score lines were incredibly close. I would've been interested to see how some of the maps left unpicked would've turned out - mainly the ones I was set to be on - because it might've been a different tune if they were picked. Especially a pick like HD1/HD3 - I really don't think anyone could predict how they would turn out. Or if BillCipher/Zombie ran away with a DT2. This is my first and probably last tournament win, I'm going to be playing the game significantly more casually after this because I hit a reading skill wall I can't be bothered to pass. The stress of holding a level of skill/improving is frankly a little too much for me to bother/care about as I get older. Not that I can't, it's just a lot of time for something I feel I've achieved everything I want in. I've played with and met cool people, set some nice scores, won a large tournament, and overall I just feel accomplished. Thanks to everyone that dealt with my BS and pushed me across the finish line. Maybe I'll get in to staffing a little bit to give the newgens the same great experience I've had.	Link
28	Toti's International Tournament 2	July - August 2024	crikhard (Captain), ikaenia, whenimazombie	Semifinals	Crikhard asked before 5usc ended so I said yes but he didn't know I can't read AR10 :eheheh: Probably my last tournament for a very long time, although I did give Tums an iffy verbal promise in person for one more. For pretty much just showing up we've made it shockingly far... we somehow took down the Stanol/Tiler team in TB LOL Had an unfortunate match in losers. It was a late match so my reading was shot, I trolled nm3 but it would've been close anyways. The pools really were not the best so none of us cared too much, but the team was vibes and I had fun.
