New Splatoon Team: Octo Airlines

[ThestralZ]

*Airline Announcement Sound*
Howdy passengers, this is your captain ThestralZ speaking, we're about to takeoff from Marlin Airport into some beautiful skies, however seeing as we are a bit short staffed, we will be inviting anyone in the cabin to come right on up to the cocpit and join us as staff.

WHO I AM:
In-Game Name: セストラルZ
Weapons: CJR, Range Blaster, flex to most front line and mid line supports
Ranks: S+ 10
SZ: 2064.3 X
TC: 2371.3 X
RM: 2159.2 X
CB: 2272.9 X
Splatoon 3: 940h
Timezone: ET

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
New/Low Level Players (Low Ink Eligible/Below Div 8)
Has a Squidboard Account
...
THAT'S IT
It doesn't matter what you play, as long as you can be a little flexible. I want chill players who want to learn how to play competitive Splatoon together and be friends!

Thank you for flying with Octo Airlines! Restrooms will open in a few minutes once we reach cruising altitude.​

I don't know if I'm able to join a team, but damn this announcement is killing me I can't

I'll think about it

LOL this announcement, and also (I assume) the auto-censor striking again. Fantastic.

This is interesting in the sense that 'chill friends trying to learn competitive together' is pretty much what I need but I probably fail the "be a little flexible" portion since I have a blood-oath with tetras to at least stick with them until I get to S+.

Also like, I am still probably not ready to join a team until I can manage to get to S+ anyway because people who say they're cool with low-skill folks are often unprepared for how low-skill I actually am and I feel like I should actually fix that first before inflicting it on others lol

I want to give a like to this post because I like the "learning comp but in a chill way" approach, but I can't because of the last part, so here, I shall now grumble instead:

I would be happy to play some Anarchy Open with you to see where your skill set if that would make you more comfortable

I can't fly Octo Airlines as an Inkling :(

I hit S recently but been focused on SR-ing, trying to hit all 9s on all maps but if you're making a laid-back group, I'm game!

Here are some videos of me

I'm not looking to full-on join a team right now but have been looking for more teams to sub for if they're down a member and really want to play in a particular tournament / scrim. If you end up making a Discord server please let me know!

pffffhaha, okay that's fair.

You know what. That's actually a really good idea. Mildly terrifying but I need to get over it anyway, hah.

What would tryouts look like? I'm potentially interested if you're still looking, but as someone with both zero competitive experience and is just generally... quite anxious and uncertain about whether or not I'd both enjoy it or be good at it lol, I'd like to know a bit more in terms of how things would operate. Also as others said, the announcement post is VERY cute and funny. I appreciate the change to cocpit LOL

My apologies, I got 5 people interested already so I think I have to close this thread. Thank you so much anyways, I hope you come watch us play in the future!

S'all good! I actually purposefully was watching the thread to post only after several people were interested lol, I figured I'd rather risk coming in too late, instead of instantly answering and getting myself in too deep. Excited to see where y'all go!

Alright folks, thank you so much for your cooperation. We are happy to report that we now have a full flight crew and will be departing shortly. I am especially happy to announce that every single member of our crew is a frequent Squidboards user, meaning everyone will feel right at home. Please put your chairs into the upright position and stow your tray tables. Crew prepare for takeoff!​

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest (Especially to Catalyst and Grushi)! We can't wait to start playing in tournaments and to promote Squidboards with our wins.
Alright, captain signing off for now, feel free to roam about the cabins, and I'll get Lisku to unlock the restrooms so y'all don't get ink all over the seats.

[neonscreenlight]

[Lisku]

hey so i made some concept art if we were to ever get a logo

 

[OnePotWonder]

I MISSED MY FLIGHT. COD DAMN IT.
I’m glad you were able to form a team, though. Good luck competing.
I’ll find my way into the comp scene eventually. One of these days. Probably.

 

[Grushi]

Congrats on the team! It's honestly kinda cool to have an errrm... local? squidboards team haha. If you ever play in any live tournaments I'll be watching them for sure

Me joining would have probably been a bit complicated since uhh... timezones ooh boy so I'm glad you found others Thestral!

Also you've got TWO stamper players on your team, the double sword comps might go crazy
