RBY Rising Stars III
Welcome back to the third edition of the tournament for RBY OU players wanting a last chance to show what they've got before SPL, RBY Rising Stars! This year's edition will be hosted by yours truly, alongside esteemed user Wanted in 49 States.
16 players amongst the sign ups will be invited to participate. A group of players (of which I'll be part of) will handpick and seed the 16 participants amongst the signups.
This tournament is meant for people who have a realistic chance at getting into SPL but are by no means guaranteed to be picked as a starter. If your results in recent SPLs were good enough that we deem you guaranteed to be in, you will not be picked.
