WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF THE RARELYUSED CHAMPIONS LEAGUE​
The RUCL is an auction-based format consisting of 8 teams playing head-to-head for 7 weeks, the top 4 then moves on to a single elimination bracket. Therefore, we are looking for 8 pairs of managers. The prize for winning this tournament is a team custom avatar.

There will be 10 slots in this tournament:
  • SV1
  • SV2
  • SV3
  • SV4
  • Flex 1A
  • Flex 2A
  • Flex 3A
  • Flex 1B
  • Flex 2B
  • Flex 3B
The way flex slots work is: every week, each team will be able to pick 3 different tiers for their flex picks, ranging from SS to ADV, for a total of 6 tiers picked between Team A and Team B. Tiers can be repeated between teams, but they can't be repeated between the same team. For instance, Team A can pick SM ORAS ADV, and Team B can pick SS BW ADV; however, Team A can't pick SS SS SM. If you have any question on the format, feel free to contact me or any other host. If you are considering signing up to manage in this tournament, please be sure to have a wide availability range during the auction weekend (October 31st / November 1st)!

Why should we be chosen to manage: I've been maining RU for 2.5 years. I Personally, I’ve managed to make the top 32 twice, once in the Winter Seasonal this year and once in the RU Cup also this year. This might be my first time as a captain on Smogon if we get picked here, but there’s a first time for everything ! I only have one experience as a captain for a Discord tournament. I encourage my players, I’m always really involved with the team, and I do the scouting. As for my co-manager SouCarlos, he managed to reach the RUGL finals as a captain this year. He was also a captain in Dynasty PL and SS League II. He is nice with the players as well and do the best for the team

Manager name: HisuiHeat
Assistant manager: Medasus
Team name: :roserade: Sandra's Roserade :roserade:
Why should we be chosen to manage:

I am new to the RU Community but in my time, have been extremely active and dedicated. This has come in tandem with solid individual placements in RU Circuit tours like top 16 RULT and top 4 RU Summer Seasonal. These results have given me opportunities to participate in team tours and observe what it takes to manage from some of the best on the site. Despite never having managed before I believe I have the qualities needed to put a strong RU roster together.

Medasus has also been an active member of the RU community, reaching top 8 of RULT and top 24 of winter ssnl, while also making top 16 of pentathlon. He also recently was part of team UK for RUWC, where he provided scouts. In terms of management experience, he has managed NDFL, NDAMPL and shadow managed NDWC.

While not the most experienced managers, both of us are very active and motivated with building and scouting, and looking to foster a great team cord environment!
