Inkstorm 2: Doctors Without Borders Funraiser Tournament

Hey there squids and kids! Sometimes terrible things happen in the world. While they are unavoidable (and certainly not fresh) we can use our love of gaming to do something positive in the midst of tragedy. In light of recent attacks in Paris, Beirut, Baghdad and beyond one Splatoon tournament is looking to do something and help out.

Endgame TV, hosts of Inkstorm 1 and now Inkstorm 2, have decided instead of using them to power a prize pool, they would donate them to Doctors Without Borders. Originally teams were required to pay $20 to enter but they have replaced this with a "donate what you can fee" to help the charitable cause.

​

With only five days left to enter and donate we hope Splatoon teams will compete while helping such a noble cause! Full details from the Endgame TV announcement can be found here. To learn more about the event and for details on entering be sure to check out its Squidboards thread. We hope to see lots of teams competing and much money raised for the cause!

 

Since you guys digressed into this, what is the matter with top-professional Splatoon?

It's essentially a repeat of history with Smash, all things considered.

 

what and where does the money go?

The money goes 100% to donating to Doctors Without Borders. We will take nothing.

Glad that another Inkstorm is coming up...wish I could pay to enter

There are no entrance fees for this tournament due to the shift to charity. We encourage teams, however, to donate what they can to the cause.

Glad that another Inkstorm is coming up...wish I could pay to enter, but i'll unfortunately only have to be a viewer...wish I could donate...

Seriously want to join to help the French but how do I donate and enter I'm a n00b when it comes to Internet stuff

We will have instructions on stream on how to donate and such, so please come on by this weekend to our Twitch page (EndGameTV1).

I am pretty sure it's just because so many people take this game too seriously, there will be people flooding the random battles who fight like it's the last game of their life. I can understand that then.

Didn't Reggie, at one point, state that he would be looking forward to e-sport Splatoon?

Yeah, but even casuals are a pain in the butt to deal with, especially if they do not play the game. I could care less about losing to a hardcore, but if I have a casual shows up with no intent to play, whether he wins or loses, that's my ire.

It's just casual-vs.-competitive all over again in full force. I have my playstyle, you have yours, but there is no such thing as no playstyle (Which, btw, is a chief reason why I gave up on smash online).

That's what I do play like its my last match it helped me to s rank

 

what and where does the money go?

The money goes to Médicins Sans Frontières and Doctor's Without Borders

 

The money goes to Médicins Sans Frontières and Doctor's Without Borders

100% doctors without borders

 

100% doctors without borders

exactly

 

if you include Médicins Sans Frontières then YES, every single Dollar goes to those two organisations

100% doctors without borders

 

Time to settle an argument: Médicins Sans Frontières IS doctors without borders, as it is known in the country of origin, I believe.

Well why is he saying AND Doctors Without Borders if there the same thing why name them both why not one?

Because the whole world doesn't speak French, i guess they figured it might be convenient to translate Médecins Sans Frontières into English...

 

True I suppose

 

Inkstorm 1 was such an awesome experience as a player, viewer. I've been waiting for #2 and it's for a great cause. Hope everyone participates and is able to help out those in need.

Well I want to join the tournament but I will be watching and I'm looking for some teammates since I just made this profile

Oh, is this Splatter?
yah just keep coming back to the forums. They'll make a new thread about the league soon. However Ktkres just said that only some teams will be able to enter.

There are other tournaments that you could enter, teams you can find, and then you guys could level yourselves up and hopefully get into the ladder (idk the details like everyone else).

but yah best of luck dude. Message me if you'd like more help.
