What's going on everyone? As a way to thank the incredible VGC community for a great first season, we're hosting a "Salute to Worlds 2023" Tour! This tournament is a great way for players old and new to use teams they've created alongside rental teams and learn about the amazing fun that is Pokemon VGC!

Please make sure you're part of the Talonite's Nest Discord for easier communication of round start times! -Link: https://discord.gg/4HSHKEaRbJ

Rules:

• OTS are required (you'll submit these during registration; this includes Pokemon, moves, items, and Tera type)

Streaming: Streams are HEAVILY encouraged if you want to do it! I might even pop into one of the streams and provide some live commentary on my own channel!

Prizing: I honestly can't offer prizing right now, but maybe down the line with your support, we can make tournaments that have prizing for the winners/top cut!
