Hi Everyone! I haven't seen anyone put together a list of SV OU players that should be considered with a spare
3k so figured let me throw my hat into the ring of doing so (If you aren't on this list assume you're 4k+).
1.
JJ09LIE
JJO9LIE is a name you should already know if you've been following the SV OU scene currently. They finished top 8 in OLT, won an ou stour tour, qualified for smogon masters, went 5-0 in EPL, 3-0 in PTPL, and are currently 6-0 in OUPL. They're also currently the 2nd seed on the OU circuit. I can easily see this player going for over 3k, lack of major tournament play may hinder the price so this could be an easy 3k buy.
2.
Pinecoishot
Pinecoishot is a ladder hero who has dominated the SV ladder. Aside from them finding new obscene ways to use Dragonite more than Storm Zone, they've displayed very creative team building. They've helped/inspired players like myself and xavgb for tournament prep and I'm sure many more. Their SV knowledge and understanding of the metagame is very high and I can see them being a great contributor to a team that needs to inject some last-minute SV magic.

Sirwings
A hardcore builder. The creativity is immense. I've been able to see firsthand on my OUPL team what he has been able to cook up, especially in the suspect sv ou slot. He went deep into SV No John making it to the quarterfinals. They're able to perform in all of the fairy gens. Definitely someone to look at with your spare 3k.
4.
hellom
A modest guy. Was able to clinch a win in his SCL debut. Was able to qualify for OLT. Has been an active member in the community and is very knowledgeable regarding SV. Has put up decent records throughout SV tours. He's a nice safe bet at 3k I feel.
5.
avarice
I've always found them to be a fine player. I know they aren't mostly known for OU but they've displayed fine play from what I've seen. With as many tournaments as they've entered, I can see them being a fire emergency sub to clutch out a victory and a solid help overall for your team. Certainly one of the best lower-tier mains that's looking to play OU for a cheap 3k.
