The GSC UUBL tournament returns for its 3rd iteration! GSC UUBL has continued to develop in the time since the previous tournament, leading to innovations such as Curse + Roar Kangaskhan, Thunder Porygon2, and Thunderbolt + Toxic Ampharos that have been making waves in the metagame. What new strategies and structures will we see rise to the top this time? I can't wait to see!
