Finished BW2 1B New Frontiers

[Ortheore]

Following discussion in this thread it has been decided that we will begin testing BW2 1B, while offering BW2 OU as 1X as an alternative until such a time as BW2 is fit for 1U status. If you wish to discuss this plan, you are more than welcome to post in the aforementioned thread.

So! This leaves us with some testing to do, hence this tour. The format is simple- it's a pseudo-round robin*, with weekly matchups consisting of 3 battles each. Players are welcome to come and go as they please. An important thing to note is that joining this tour is important if you want to have your say in shaping this tier, and if a council is necessary, performance in this tour will be considered.

*restrictions imposed by prior matchups are currently only determined by the last few rounds, not the tournament as a whole

Initial Ruleset
Clauses: Sleep, Species

Week 2- Deadline is Friday 19th May
Contact vs SadisticNarwhal, Oibaf
SaDiSTiCNarwhal vs Contact, Drud
drud vs SadisticNarwhal, DMA
DMA vs Drud, Melle2402
melle2402 vs DMA, Byronthewellwell

Enigami vs Byronthewellwell, Chainless Polpo
Chainless Polpo vs Enigami, Ortheore
Ortheore vs Chainless Polpo, Mister Tim

So this may look like a big mess, but it gives everyone matches without the need for a bye. Basically you have to play three games vs each opponent listed next to your name where I 've tagged you, so I've got 3 games vs Polpo and 3 vs Mr Tim for example

 

[drud]

lost vs DMA 1-2 ggs bro, unhappy about g3 being really haxy for both sides but w/e

[Ortheore]

Hey everyone, I'm going to be altering the rankings to be based off total wins not net wins, meaning losses won't be recorded. This will mean some players shift around in the rankings
