The PokeSTEEM Battle league is challenging the steemit community to take part in this week's tournament. Those players who place within the Top 20 battlers of the week will receive a portion of the weekly earnings from this post.
All players are welcome to make posts about their battles and take part in spreading the word of the PokeSTEEM community by using the hashtags #pokesteem #pokesteembattleleague or the current weeks hashtag example #week2pokesteem. Spreading the word of the community helps bring more rewards to the pool and will hopefully encourage the Pokemon community to want to use this platform.
This tournament will end on Sunday at 11:59 PM and all battles marked in the battle verification log will be used for the earnings leaderboard and distributed according to the following brackets.
Monotype has been selected for this weeks battles and the typing will be Fire. Players must create teams using the Teambuilder found on Pokemon Showdown.
