PSPL II, Tournaments and more

Read Issue #2 of The Player here!

Week 2 of PSPL II has begun! Continuing the group stage of the tournament, the announcement includes results from the first week and current standings. Check out the new match-ups and cheer on your favorite rooms!

After a brief downtime for maintenance, scripted tournaments are back. Head over to our official Tournaments room to compete in the leaderboard challenge! Smogon’s Official Ladder Tournament has entered its second cycle. We recommend you read how to sign up and visit the OLT room for discussion of the tournament. The Mentorship program is also hosting a tournament series called Mentours. These micro-tours are played four times a day in the Community Mentoring room to introduce newer players to Smogon's tiers as well as encourage teambuilding and collaboration with Mentors.

Congratulations to chechnya for winning the Academics room's Jeopardy tournament after defeating Weebl and AnthemOfTheWorld in the final round! If you would like to join the next tour, take this test and PM SteelEdges a screenshot of your results on Smogon forums if you pass to receive information on the next step.

The OM Mediocremons has been replaced by Hidden Type, and Smogon Doubles Ubers, LC UU, and Smogon Doubles UU now have ladders! Head over to their respective threads for information and discussion of these metagames.
