I love how the gold dynamo is right there at the beginning but not in the game yet

[@SaltyToad00]

Insane to think that Big Swig got a new kit before Dynamo.

[@squidkid419]

@@SaltyToad00 yeah, I love the new swig, but dynamo really deserves a kit that’s viable

​@@squidkid419 All I want is Booyah Bomb. I don't care what Sub it gets, as long as it gets Booyah Bomb, it'll be way better than VDynamo.

The commentators did a really good job. Are they all (pro) splatoon players too? They seem to know what they are talking about.

[@Ketsu112]

I think Rissa is on a team, but outside of that they are pro commentators. Commentators (in sports too, not just esports) are good at analysis, but that doesnt necessarily mean they're pros at the game, similarly if you're a pro at the game, that doesnt mean you'll be the best commentator :)

Knowing Nintendo, they'll delay rewarding the winner and then end up giving them a 5 dollar Eshop card.

It’s not the money we’re worried about, we’re worried about being on top.

[@SaltyToad00]

Not everyone plays for money.

[@Unknown_User174]

OBJECTION!!! The eshop gift cards has either a $10, $20, $35, $45 $50, $70, Or even $99. There’s no $5 eshop gift card which you came up with a contradictory statement about it.

Jackpot and starburst won!

​​@@armourdreamThe most interesting part of this tournament for me has to be the fact that ProChara isn't playing Splatana Stamper or Range Blaster. He's instead playing S-Blast '92, which isn't as good as the other weapons that were being used in the set between Jackpot and Last Resort.

So basically you need to be from the USA Canada or Mexico and 13+ years old for USA and Canada and 18+ years old for Mexico to sign up for it On day 1 there's a turf war ladder which lasts for 4 hours if you get top 16 you qualify for day 2 On day 2 you play two bo5's if you win both of them you qualify for top 4 which is what is shown in this video

[@DaDoc540]

Twelve European regions (Portugal, Spain, Great Britain & Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, the Nordic nations, Italy, Austria, and Eastern Europe) will have a tournament of their own. Each region will have its own tournament to determine its representative. Then, these twelve teams will compete to determine the European representative for the World Championship. The consensus favorite is Alliance Rogue of France because of their experience and past success. Its all-French composition gives it an advantage over many other European teams, such as Graveyard Shift and Zero Deaths, which are composed of players from multiple regions who would have to form all-British or all-German sides to enter their respective regional tournaments.
