The year is 20XX. Mankind has perfected counterpick rules after cycling through countless formats that includes input from both teams, fans, and the overlords.

Game 2 is still TC Art Academy.

Splatana as a class would be more interesting to compare id reckon - i can think of one stamper player (who wasnt playing in this event anyway), but a few decav players & 2 wiper players.

Plus the comps of the top 2 will dominate the picks just by numbers since they play more

Players often ask how does one become my confident. Confidence is a reflection of one’s belief in their own competence. So how does one raise competence? Competence can only be achieved through hard work. We will continue to work hard to raise our competence, our confidence, and the line.

PSA to all the teams that skipped the Preseason: It felt like Week 2 was significantly smoother but it's still worth that you double check you're good to go before tournament time!

Kenneth @kbot273.bsky.social · 16d

⚠️📢PSA for those planning on playing in the Splatoon 3 NA League tomorrow:

SET YOUR LINEUPS FOR TOMORROW BEFORE LADDER BEGINS. If you do not have an active lineup registered for Event 2 you will NOT be able to play! Do this in your Team Hub.

ALSO, TURN OFF YOUR VPNs!

Hey all!

I don't anticipate myself having the same amount of time that I have now in the next six months or so, but I would like to keep my current projects running smoothly. To that end, I'm looking for a few technical people that are willing to take on some of the responsibilities of splat.top
