I guess there will be preliminaries for it like with the finals of the 11th Tour.

This should be fun, NU should be great but I should probably learn the other tiers, whatever 9.9

WhiteQueen · May 7th, 2012, 5:33:57 PM

no, animenagai, no. fuk ou

i suggest we really do it like the tennis Open. Have four brackets for each Open, amd the best players of each bracket compete with one another in the semi

Ray Jay · May 7th, 2012, 5:47:24 PM

Beyond pumped to watch everyone be so awful at LC

**dragonuser** · May 7th, 2012, 5:56:44 PM

seems like a fantastic idea

I like the idea but how would you seed the individual players, would it be based on your rating in the tierat the time of the sign-ups for each open or would it be based on performances in other tourneys for that tier?

I suggest adding OU in here. The OU open will lure in a lot of players, and if they do well, that may lead them to learn the other tiers and compete in them.

"Let's add OU to the VGC tournament to attract more people."

I think you're sort of missing the point here.

No seeding. Just random matchups

NidokingKing · May 7th, 2012, 7:12:04 PM

This'll be really fun...

Excuse me while I go learn LC and Ubers...

Edit: One done, now onto Ubers :D Hate to admit it, but LC is really fun.

KnightoftheWind · May 7th, 2012, 7:32:30 PM

COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO THE JAM

This looks to be a really fun series of tournaments, looking forward to it!

HEY YOU, WHATCHA GONNA DO

PsYch071c · May 7th, 2012, 10:10:20 PM

Thank god you agreed to tutor me in LC Ray Jay. Otherwise I would have no chance because of that tier alone.

Danilo · May 7th, 2012, 10:13:46 PM

You still have no chance

As a singles overused-centric player with neither the knowledge of any of Smogon's other custom metagames nor the capacity to learn them, I find the idea of this tournament outrageous. Is this a joke? Another bad iconic thread as usual.

***Oglemi**** · May 8th, 2012, 1:20:57 AM

Eo is outrageous!!!!

Also yay, super pumped to host the RU Open!

**Furai** · May 8th, 2012, 1:34:28 AM
