Introduction:
After seeing 2 instances of the Best of 3 Tournament for BW OU/UU/Ubers (and a 3rd one in semifinals), I think that BW RU/NU/LC should get such a tour in a similar format to the normal one for several reasons. (and not because the of the silly idea of lower tier versions of everything) For one, their low representation in the tournaments forum, as well as the wait for their respective XY metagames to develop, the likelihood of BW still being the most represented metagame in SPL, which will have some still playing these tiers, and the fact that it appeals to a different group of players then the 3 higher tiers.
Tournament-specific rules:
Best-of-3 format - 1 game must be RU, 1 must be NU, and 1 must be LC.
The first battle can be whatever the two players agree on, but after that game, the loser decides what tier will be played next, and if 1-1, the tier not yet played will be played (ex: BW RU, BW NU, 1-1, so BW LC must be played)
Matchups:
SilentVerse vs Zebraiken
Kebabe vs Scene
HSA vs Eo Ut Mortus
Deadline: None, don't john though
