absolutely amazing art by greenandgrey77!! thanks a bunch!

Welcome everyone to the PU Invitational! 24 players deemed the best of the best will duke it out in a Bo3 SVPU swiss bracket in order to see who is really the best SVPU player. The winner of the PU Invitational will earn the lucrative prize of a custom avatar, and of course, bragging rights.

While I don't expect many issues to arise during an invitational, please keep in mind the following rules to make sure this tournament is smooth sailing for all who are involved:
Swiss Rules:
  • For each round, you will be matched up with someone that has the same record as you in the tournament. For example, if you are 2-1, you will be matched up against someone with the same rating as you.
  • 3+ wins will be grounds for playoff qualification, pending bracket resistance.
  • As soon as you hit 3 losses (X-3), you are unable to achieve playoffs.
General Tournament Rules:
  • Games will be played in the standard SV PU tier.
  • Each round will be Best of 3, and you are allowed to switch teams between games.
  • All changes that happen in the tier during the middle of the week will not apply until the next round.
  • You are expected to know and follow all general tournament rules.
  • VMs are only thing that matters for activity. Use this guide to ensure you don't lose via activity or coinflip.

Predicts cause im bored also free pu holdovers 2

MZ vs asa - TASTUTONY TEAM KILL NOOOO I fully expect this to go to a game 3 cause yall are both so talented but I feel mz will win the final battle with some flashy plays
sugar ovens vs LpZ - SCOWLERS TEAM KILL NOOOO lpz has looked pretty dominant everytime I've seen him play sv although sugar's crack could surprise him
MichaelderBeste2 vs robjr - if this was sm or a bo3 old gens I'd bold rob in a heartbeat but I haven't seen too much of him in svpu and Michael is a top sv shooter rn
xcx vs eifo - they're both gonna burn down the kitchen in the builder but I have more faith in gum to pull thru
OranBerryBlissey10 vs Bouff - wild fucking call here i think obb is gonna lose ssnl but then win this set after self reflecting and not loading woch slash every game
zS vs ishtar - to motivate both players ive been given the greenlight from leadership that the loser of this battle will be readded to council anyways zs had a rough pucl while ishtar had a decent one + TATSUTIMMYS BUFF
DripLegend vs DugZa - if this was single elimination I'd bold drip cause duggypoo is always cursed in those but unfortunately its swiss and he had a stronger showing in pucl
kyuss vs Vulpix03 - pretty 50/50 I feel pix is the better clicker but kyuss will bring some weird shit that'll throw pix off his game
Drud vs Hiko - drud is hard to bold against and is now unburdened from being the slugmas every man hiko could upset this from not being as burnt out but im still going with koga
Esteb4n vs Gilbert arenas - honestly this mu is fire i hope one of them links this game I feel esteb4n has the edge having played more recently in pucl but I could see this going either way
seraphz vs Metallica126 - Metallica sacrificed all of ru for this win sorry SPHZ
etern vs Xiri - induckvidual tour etern is a different beast while Xiri stocks are up after pucl I feel etern will load some shit mon like shiftry that'll 6-0 somehow
 
sugar ovens vs LpZ - hot seasonal rn but this is kinda 50/50 to me
MichaelderBeste2 vs robjr - Pokemon Champions distraction debuff??? We'll see
xcx vs eifo - very fun mu, would love to see what eifo cooks up, xcx has the more recent results like with seasonal but who knows who's taking this, that's what makes this tour interesting
OranBerryBlissey10 vs Bouff - :heart:
zS vs ishtar - expecting more interesting builds
DripLegend vs DugZa - Someone I consider top 3 rn vs someone who can definitely do it but is facing a tough matchup
kyuss vs Vulpix03 - I wanna see them both bring crack but I expect kyuss's to be crackier
Drud vs Hiko - Another instance of someone I consider top 3 rn vs someone who can definitely do it but is facing a tough matchup
Esteb4n vs Gilbert arenas - this is what invitational is for. SCL taught me to not start by predicting against marcop
seraphz vs Metallica126 - stepping down from RU is a buff right?
etern vs Xiri - ribbon fight, relative to who Xiri could pull I feel like etern has the experience for their particular style of build/play but idk sometimes you just get Xiri'd
 
MZ vs asa TatsuPhonys matchup, I still remember the circuit run for Asa where she genuinely cooked and only lost it by a hair. I’m rooting for that Asa to come back strong and surprise MZ who maybe thinks his ingame can carry him round 1? Not that he will underestimate asa ofc
sugar ovens vs LpZ I think in a new meta sugar could be favored if he has time to dedicate to prepping. He is usually very good at post drops metagames and comes up with some SU shitmon that puts in work
MichaelderBeste2 vs robjr both are definitely team stealing, but Michael has more recent experience in the tier and dominated pucl for the most part
xcx vs eifo eifo is usually +EV in individuals but i rate xcx as a player very highly. Could definitely swing the other way if eifo is able to dedicate time to building
OranBerryBlissey10 vs Bouff Fire mu, especially with their seasonal set happening as well (?). Honestly I just want Bouff to win because I am always rooting for them, but asides from that it’s hard to argue they’re anything less than a top 3 pu player right now.
zS vs ishtar zS is an OU Mainer, why was he invited to PU invitational? Doesn’t really make sense to me.
DripLegend vs DugZa :DripZa: :DogZa: he goes by many names, he has looked good the entire generation so I’ll go with consistency
kyuss vs Vulpix03 kyuss like sugar plays up in new metas cause he’s willing to play 50 games on the ladder with the new drops
Drud vs Hiko great matchup but I’ll take the chalk bet and enjoy watching.
Esteb4n vs Gilbert arenas ok THIS is actually the highlight matchup of the tournament for me right now. I am a huge esteb4n fan after the nasty things he did to me in ru circuit, just a really solid player. I’ll remind everyone they both had extremely great SCLs so I think this is close as hell
Seraphz vs Metallica126 Metallica needs to light the fire in himself again before I bold him, good luck friend I’m rooting for you. Seraphz will just go into this like any other game which works to his advantage
etern vs Xiri could bring some weird shit and I think he’s a really good player. Is pretty much a coin flip but I’ll take the underdog
