Wow! This sounds amazing! Hopefully it's live streamed because I for one do not live anywhere near Japan! Either way, it's cool to see something like this and that the Splatoon competitive community is growing. :)

Who is sponsoring this event? Nintendo?
That's not entirely clear as none of the news outlets mentioned it, but the two companies running the show are Nintendo and Dwango (who own NicoNicoDouga, the Japanese equivalent of YouTube). So probably one or both of them..
