PU King of the Hill
In this thread, two users are voted on to be the first battlers for the top of the hill. They will compete in a Bo3 in FU, BW PU, and ORAS PU; winner of established as the King. From there on, two things happen: the King selects a format, preferably best of three with different PU metas, and then the community votes on a new challenger to try and dethrone the current King. This can lead to exciting, hopefully high-quality battles in interesting and fun metas that the king (and challenger) are likely good at. So, say, if Raiza wants to force all comers into a match of STABmons as well as regular tiers, he is welcome to - and knowing this, the community can nominate someone who also excels at STABmons.
A list of former challengers and Kings will be kept updated in the thread. Activity will be given on a case-by-case basis; it’s perfectly fine if a King can't play for a few days, but long absences will result in a cycling out as King. I’ll be fair about this - no one wants a King downed without a fight, but people also want to see battles to keep the game moving. Also - make sure to save replays.
You can start nominating below! Good luck! Nominations will work as follows: each person can nominate up to 3 users other than themselves, with each nom counting as a vote. The two users with the most votes after a week will start.
Current King: Raseri
Raiza vs Mael
Anty vs Disjunction
2xTheTap vs RawMelon
Raseri vs Specterito
