Upcurrent stew

.....I did this on the wrong account

You need to start by hearing the game

Did you know! Trying to go fast and surprise them is a strategy against Salmonids

Sometimes I feel like Upcurrent can't surprise me anymore and I'm proven wrong every time. We've come so far and it's amazing to think about that

Did a scrim against hyperdive earlier where I unfortunately had to leave early for not-having-my-body-explode reasons, and man... I'm excited to see that style pushed more, extremely fun and expressive style to both fight against and with

Not focused enough on @upcurrent.bsky.social clearly is the issue that the scene is having, smh

I love Upcurrent

Technically only one of these is made up

Picture of Snikerop from Upcurrent on Wahoo World. Photoshopped into the photo are the rest of the members of Upcurrent, including Juni on the left, Scion behind some glass, and xd is literally drowning on the bottom right (this isn't about them). Sniker is also "holding" a heavy splatling

Upcurrent places 4th in Lemon Cider: Birthday Bash!

@junikrp.bsky.social - Modern art
Scion - Cool as ice
@snikerop.blue - Heavy splatling
@xdd14.bsky.social - 💯

Twitch Twitch is the world

Second, Upcurrent is having an SOS run in about 20 minutes! Go check out Sniker's stream and/or catch the watch party which will be happening in the aforementioned Upcurrent Discord!

Two orders of business:
First, we have revamped our Discord to be a little more public-friendly and want to invite people! There are still improvements being made and part of that starts with getting more people. If you want to scrim with us especially, we're working on streamlining that

Upcurrently breaking into your house

We're so back

Announcement regarding Upcurrent: following LUTI, the team has....

SURVIVED HAHAHAHA

We'll be around still, with lots of new schemes we're cooking up

However, we'll be on a brief hiatus due to some irl stuff that needs to be cleared up. Some of us need naps.....

Render of the Upcurrent team on scorch gorge in the style of a selfie. Juni sits on the ramp to top mid, while Scion leans on the wall. xd is posing standing next to Scion, while Sniker holds the camera in front on the right side.

Amazing artwork of our team made by @jojokm.bsky.social commemorating Upcurrent's first LUTI run! 🥹

#NowhereToGoButUPCURRENT

I want to talk a little about what happened in LUTI this season now that it's over.

Upcurrent started as a way for Juni, Scion, and I to gain some independence and ability to play the game in a manner which we had good control over for LUTI. I don't think we knew what we were getting into, really

Upcurrent loses to Spherical Comedy 2-5 in LUTI div 6 week 8, ending our run in top 8. GGs to everyone we faced this season everywhere

Survey on Practice Frequency in the Splatoon Scene This form is intended to collect data about team practice frequency in competitive Splatoon. I am looking for responses from people on dedicated teams/projects.

I made a survey asking about team practice in the Splatoon competitive community. I would really appreciate if you could fill it out and share it for more data! I do plan to publish relevant results from these responses.
