Greetings #compsplatoon community! I've started a Scorigami to track every score that has happened for the Top 8 games throughout #S3NAL. Scores in black are impossible, and scores in green/blue all occurred in Week 1's Top 8 games.

You have every right to feel the way you do, but just want to make sure you're attaching them to the right facts as well.

No bans at all from Nintendo afaik. Just the post-tournament disqualification of the 1 World Championship they won in 2024.

Nintendo knows who they are so they wouldn't get very far if they were banned, but it's been confirmed in the past that they were not banned from future events.

They were never banned by Nintendo, just had the world championship vacated. This isn't even the first Nintendo event they have registered for since then.

I decided to make a map of divison 1 in
@ccasplatoon.bsky.social

Let me know which team you're rooting for. If you don't have one yet, pick your local school off of this map!

Riptide 2025 Riptide 2025

Riptide Startgg Teams page for reference: www.start.gg/tournament/r...

Well half the stats are LYRE and TZS so you should be good!

But agree, pickup names don't mean a lot on LAN, but it should only take a few extra clicks to find out who's on each roster. I'll add a startgg link to the teams page on at the end of the thread.

Note: Seeds used in these stats are based on the ordered rank of each team's average seed placement across all seeders for the event. Placement for Silver and Bronze was also manually calculated. Startgg is not a true indicator of seed or placement because of scheduling and calculation issues.

3pm PT/6pm ET on www.twitch.tv/iplsplatoon

Monitor started flashing on and off.
I touched the power cable and slightly burnt my finger.
I yanked the power cable out.
Power plug was smoking and slightly melted.
Venue has since replaced the monitor and we are somehow only 25 minutes behind.

LAN delay because of a smoking monitor power cable is a new one…

BROOOOOOO WHY IS SALMON RUN ALLOWED 32 CHARACTERS. NINTENDOOOOO PLEASE.

- You can submit highlights via replay codes to the Splatoon 3 Discord, but they lock the channel Sunday around noon PT!
- Ladder standings are ordered by Peak Elo, not just Match W/L Differential so it's less straight forward.
- Minimum 5 sets needed to even get leaderboard points
- READ THE RULES

Reminder to folks playing #S3NAL tomorrow:

- READ THE RULES
- Make sure you're registered for Week 2 (it's one more step after league registration)!
- Screen is FULLY ALLOWED
- Coinflip & game winner decides Mode. Losers pick map. No dupes at all. Be ready with counterpicks.
- READ THE RULES AGAIN

🎙 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.

If your org needs more on air talent, please reply below!

Genuinely one of the most fun yapping sessions I have ever had. Please check out the VOD if you have time as there was a lot of great discussion on the NA League, SJ6, evolving metas, and collegiate.

Thanks for the invite BEEP!

The NA Splatoon League is finally HERE, and it’s a GAUNTLET.

We’ve got a LOT to discuss. Join us tonight at 9 pm EDT / 6 pm PDT for our deep dive into last week’s action packed top level events!

Never gotten a callback but maybe one day. Still gotta submit for the new cycle.

It is Survivor Wednesday my friends. Do not disturb Wednesdays after 8pm PT for the next 12 weeks.

Add this to the agenda for our next chat on the Popcast. I can yap about this format all day.

One of TZS's core values is making the most of your tournament runs... and playing more sets than necessary for our results.

For each week of the #S3NAL, we will award the TZS Award to the team that played the most ladder sets.

Congrats to the NCCS Llamas for playing an insane 13 sets in Week 1!
