2) S4L

From the Korean team, Agjil, S4L has been a great performer in competitive play, making it to tournament finals in five out of seven tournaments during his career.

3) Illuna

Illuna, from the Indonesian team Rex Regum Qeon, has had one of the best records the Unite scene has ever seen. Coming out on top in four of the six tournaments he participated in, Illuna has won over USD $8,000 during the short time he has been a part of the pro scene.

4) Inder

One of the most popular Unite pro players, Inder, is known more for his creative and entertaining content rather than his performance on the TTV professional team. Boasting a 60% tournament win rate, it will be interesting to see if Inder's performance can hold up to the World Championship standard.

In the pro scene, no player has a better track record than ToonGotW.

What's next for Pokemon Unite?

Currently, players can earn a Unite License for the original Legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo. By participating in its event, players can also earn a Unite License for Mega Mewtwo X, while Mega Mewtwo Y will join Pokemon Unite's roster later on August 17. On the day, players will also be able to earn a Unite License for Mega Mewtwo Y by participating in an event.

Currently, Mewtwo is seen as being incredibly overpowered in the metagame. As such, players should make sure to get their Unite Licenses now before the creature gets nerfed in a future patch update. After all, why not have fun playing Mewtwo while getting some free ranks in the meantime?

There has also been news of new game modes coming to the title, the first of which is Panic Parade. This mode features some PvE aspects, pitting a team of Pokemon controlled by different players against waves of wild Pokemon. Overall, there is plenty to look forward to regarding the future of Pokemon Unite.
