The fine folks over at EndGameTV are making a big splash in the competitive Splatoon scene; they have officially announced Inkstorm, their initial foray into hosting competitive Splatoon tournaments. The truly interesting aspect of Ink Storm is their prize pool: EGTV has promised up to 1000 USD in prizes for the various teams that place well in this tournament. Keep in mind that there is a 20 USD entry fee required to register but that is a small price to pay to take part in what will inevitably be a monumental moment in competitive Splatoon history.
Registration closes on Tuesday, October 6th and EGTV has announced a 48 team cap so interested inklings should definitely register as soon as possible.
Inkstorm will join a series of tournaments that EGTV has dubbed the "Endgame Circuit". Placing well in this tournament will allow you to accumulate circuit points. At the end of the series, EGTV will take the 8 teams with the largest amount of circuit points and put them into their premiere league, the EndGame Splatoon Premiere League. Information on ESPL is scarce for now but we will update you with information on this as soon as we get it.
For those of you that don't know, EndGameTV is an established tournament provide in the competitive Mario Kart community and in the past has held Mario Kart World Cup events. Their stated goal is "to bring a professionally organized tournament to the Splatoon scene and to promote its overall development [through the EndGame Splatoon Premiere League]"
