Welcome one and all to the very first BW2 OU tournament here at this fine institution known as Smogon. The release of Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 in Japan has shaken up the OU metagame considerably, and this tournament will give us our first real glimpse on this completely new tier. How well can you adapt to these changes? Will this tournament allow us to determine the brokenness of these powerful new OU threats? Will Smogon's server problems ever end? Over the course of this tournament, we will attempt to answer these pressing questions!

Deadline:

Monday, July 30th at 11:59 p.m. EST. Extensions have two days to complete their games. To hopefully help players schedule their matches, I've linked every participant's user profile in the matchups.
Send your opponent a VM or PM as soon as you read this. Good luck friends and have fun!
* Given Pokemon Showdown is having troubles with the server, I would ask that PO2 become the default simulator for this round. It's not too different from PO1, and you can download it
