The Splatoon U.S. Inkling Open was announced on March 30th in a Tweet from Nintendo of America, with a grand prize of a trip to E3 for the winners.
The 2017 Splatoon 2 World Inkling Invitational was hinted in another Tweet on April 25th, and then fully announced later on.
It's been a long road for competitive Splatoon, but we're finally coming up to the Invitational on Tuesday, June 13 at 2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. ET (time subject to change), streamed live from Nintendo. This will most likely be the Splatoon tournament with the most exposure so far. It will be a four-team elimination tournament with each team representing their part of the globe. Deadbeat for the U.S., Dynameu for Japan, Rising Moon for Europe and Blue Ringed Octolings for Australia/New Zealand. You can find more details here.
On a side note, we'll probably see new details about Splatoon 2 at E3, what are you most anticipating?
