Today’s AREA CUP was amazing. Quick shoutout to Utopia for an incredible tournament run. Their story goes back to AREA CUP #17, where the same roster and comp made finals but fell short… and now seeing them here again truly touched me. Huge respect.

I’ll be on the West Coast (around LA or San Diego) from 3/5 to 3/7 (maybe 3/8), and I’ll mostly be in Detroit in late February. Sorry if you’ve already mentioned LAN events before, but if there’s a website or portal where I can look them up, that’d be awesome!

With four tournaments left in the Race to Crown, Momo is close to securing his spot, but the remaining tickets are still wide open. Riukun has been eliminated in the qualifiers in the last two events, and Todo currently sits in 6th. Who do you think will be the players to qualify?

I made a tier list (Zones only) based on AREA CUP results in version 10.1.0. Weapons with consistent results, strong impact, and top placements by multiple players are placed in higher tiers. Tiers up to A are ordered. D tier consists of weapons I’ve never seen used. Opinions welcome.

I forgot to add a sentence before this one.
"The biggest threat this comp poses is its high-frequency Ink Vac rotation."
"The biggest threat this comp poses is its high-frequency Ink Vac rotation."
Due to the massive buffs it received, this special has become a perfect counter to opponents’ specials, while also making it much easier for the frontliners to push forward. A high number of Ink Vacs makes it extremely difficult for opponents to retake the zone.

Bow + 96 Analysis:
Yesterday’s AREA CUP win was another victory for the Bow comp, making it a back-to-back win. However, I believe that 96 is the key piece that makes this composition so powerful, and the backline is essentially irreplaceable except for Bow.

Quick question: Do you think there’d be interest in something like a “Learn Japanese through Splatoon” series? Not sure if I’ll actually do it, but it sounds interesting to me.

Race to Crown has now completed 17 of 24 tournaments this season. With the points from yesterday’s championship, Lobster has secured his spot for next year’s AREA CUP Crown with 193 points.
This is the earliest qualification ever—an absolute monster. Actual points in the thread.

I wanted to ask the western comp splatoon community, is there an upcoming lan tournament next march? I’m planning to visit the states around that time, and I’d love to come and spectate if there is one.

I’m currently planning to create a system, similar to a rating system, to seed Area Cup participants and place players in fair positions. If there are any references I could read, I’d appreciate your suggestions. The attached image shows what I’ve been trying out.

Here is the comparison with last seasons Race to Crown, with Lobster and Todo, the current top 2 runners making outstanding achievements (Calculated with current point system). Lobster have already gained exact same points he got from 15 tournaments, but with 11 tournaments already.

Almost half of the Race to Crown Seasons 25/26 is complete (#31 to #41, regular tournaments only — 11 out of 24). I’ve made this crown points progression graph. The top 20 are listed in order. I might have just proven that Lobster is an alien or something. Actual points in the thread.

When you’ve caused so much hurt to a community, and your friends are trying to enable you to come back so you can help them win a tourney, then they are not actually your friend. They are someone who is using you for their benefit. A real friend would help you grow, away from the scene you damaged.
