Ink or Sink Tournament! v.1.1b Final Version!

[Flying_Tortoise]

plus if you have 7 players you could just find one more and split into 2 teams, and still scrimmage each other. Then everyone can be playing.
We honestly shouldn't form a competitive meta around the idea of allowing more people the chance to play, because they could just find another team that needs another member (which there most likely will be).
Now if we were saying we want to make a meta around the idea of having constant variety, where teams can swap in their members for more strategy. Then that makes more sense. I still wouldn't like it and I'd argue against it tbh, but it makes more sense.
What I was hoping for is a meta that encourages adaption from the teams and comebacks being a result of the teams skill to comeup with a counterattack, noticing players' tendencies. To me that is a more respectable and hype meta, where players can say "they brought it back because they are good", not "they brought it back because they put in new players how could counter it".

But I am just one person and if there is another side to the argument then of course I'd like to hear it. Debates will lead to a better meta than any one person can think of.

If one team wins the first 3 rounds, is it necessary to play the next 2?

LET'S GOOOOOOOO!

And remember, if both teams are signed up for Splatoon Community League (Launching sometime in the next few hours), then the set will be eligible for ranking! It takes only a matter of seconds to register for SCL, and this is the perfect time to do so!

Good luck to all the participants, and may the best team win!

Edit- just to be clear, we haven't officially launched yet, so you may have to wait a couple hours to register. Sorry about any confusion

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo- And we're live! Please go ahead and register your teams!

I like the gif in your signature. Once we get streams going that gif will be on the part of the screen where the logos are at.

Good luck everyone, and an extra-good luck to the TOs. Hoping for smooth sailing all weekend!

Be sure to include Squidboards in any tournament-related tweets you send out. We'll RT and whatnot.

So I guess Nintendo is finally giving us names for the songs you hear during battle. And would you look at that. One of them is Ink or Sink.

Enjoy your theme song :P
