Welcome to the RBY 7U Hub, Viability Rankings and Discussion Thread! With the first tournament concluded, we can now look at the results, replays, stats and teams and continue to push the tier forward. Expect our first viability rankings in the next few weeks, sometime in September.

3 others qualified but did not submit (5Dots, Lily, tylerfitz8). Qualification was based entirely on winning 3 non-activity sets in the recent 7U Tournament; please take this VR with a grain of salt until more meta development and tournaments take place.
Above VR based on the Vapicuno method; for raw submission data see here. Note this is the raw rankings without outlier compensation or anything so it won't reflect the "official" VR perfectly.
