🎙 Leading up to Riptide, we seen there is a massive desire to commentate in the Splatoon community.

We want to help connect that desire to organizations that need more comms outside of just our LANs.

Here's my photo album from Riptide 2025! This is the largest album I've ever had and it was a pleasure to be able to photograph Riptide and learn so much from doing it. I'm gonna take notes, improve and step up my game for next time. Hope y'all enjoy the album!

DELETED THE WRONG POST MB 🤦‍♀️

About 1/6 players that needed to complete their team have done so! This is good progress, but it means there are still about 90 people who need to complete their teams

If you haven't found one, there are still many people looking!
