I Paid $250 to Become a Pokemon Unite Master

Pokemon Unite has been all the rage lately, and plenty of discussion has been had about how "pay-to-win" the game truly is...
Well, I set out to test that theory. With $250 in hand and a top tier by my side, I set out to find just how far I could climb with the help of maxed out items and my buddy, Gengar.
