Rough news coming out today + an update on Big Dapple

BrookLAN was the venue that we called home for many of our Splatoon events over the years. We are very grateful to have been able to work alongside their team to have us host Splatoon events there. They will be missed dearly.

We had a day of Riptide matches against friends we've met through @metroink.bsky.social! Great way to close it out, going 2-1 in our Silver Pools sets, which means we're done for the weekend. GGs all, and thanks to Sasu for emergency subbing for us when Merci fell ill
