He defeated Wizard and the #4 seed Super-Duper Wombats (who had upset the #1 seed Jolly Green Giants) in the National League Championship Series. Chappe fell short to Nick Foles is my dad and the Philadelphia Athletics in the Season 5 World Series.

On stream at the end of Game 4, Chappe admitted that he was contemplating retirement for good halfway through the season:

> I haven't really had the time to grind and practice like I did early on. I know that I don't really have to, but I mean obviously there are a few guys in this league that can take me with relative ease. I was really debating hanging it up, championship or no, at the end of the season. But I got a few nice words from some guys both in the league and outside of it -- some people are actually enjoying watching this, even though my streaming setup is complete garbage. I'm hoping I can get the streaming up to where I want it to be, work on graphics, and ... yeah. On to Season 6.
