Hey
*A sick af banner goes here*
Hello everyone, and welcome to the first ever ORAS OU Invitational! This time I will be your host. The purpose of all of this is to essentially gather some of the best ORAS OU players of the past and modern ORAS to duke it out and show all of us their amazing skill and why they are rennounced as the greatest. Of course this isnt happening just to take each player precious time, as a matter of appreciation and a natural incentive this event will have a prize pool of $375!
For starters, we will have our play-ins phase! 16 players has been selected to duke it out for a chance to get into the main event 32 men bracket with 2 spots on the line. Here we have some excellent ORAS OU players all around and it is a shame that not all of them will be able to get in, but thats not the rule of the game! I am very confident all this players will do their best to get in the main bracket. Best of luck to everyone, and I DO ENCOURAGE wild stuff, we all are looking forward to the spectacle
