Squid Social [May 29, 2017] Splatoon Pickup LAN Games (Cary, NC)

[remmah]

Hi all,

East Coast Gaming in Cary, NC currently has a weekly Smash 4 event on Mondays. The TO for these events has set aside some space for us to start experimenting with Splatoon LAN play!

For now, there won't be any official brackets or entry fees: we'll just arrange and play some Splatoon 1 pickup games. Attendace at these pickup events will help gauge interest for recurring Splatoon 2 events in the future. If we get enough interest over the next few months, I will start reserving dedicated times for Splatoon 2 tournaments once it's released, so if you'd like to see a local Splatoon 2 LAN competitive scene in the Triangle, be sure to show up!

When: May 29, 2017, 7:00 PM

Where: East Coast Gaming
218 Nottingham Dr
Cary, NC 27511
