This should honestly be ground for a temp ban from the next LUTI season. I wish TOs would stop wasting their time with teams like that.
You don’t gain anything by having people that don’t bother to play week by week.
sponsorship deals?
making/acquiring a team?
fixing the comp splatoon bluesky feed?
The jump from div 7 to div 6 seems pretty big, but it might just be that low level / entry level don't play sq as much and tourney with skill ceiling are not ranked.
We just played in All 4 One Weekend Edition #15: Golden Gauntlet and won bronze bracket! 🥇
GGs to all teams, players and TOs. It was a fun tournament!
#compsplatoon
After going 5-0 last week in LUTI, we went into week 2 to keep our momentum, but we kind of drop the ball and went 0-5. Oops.
At least we took a great picture! Sponsored by whatever the heck is that red sign is on the building.
GGs to The Villain Academy @tva-spl.bsky.social they're pretty good
A picture of an aquarium tank with a tunnel running through it with the splatoon 3 player characters of Red Rebellion's members edited in. Weyx dabs in the left corner of the tank, Pulie rides a shark through the water, Koma hangs down from the top right of the tank with his roller, and Shello poses inside the tunnel. The image has stickers and red-and-black tape plastered throughout including Red Rebellion's and Shark Tank's logos. Text in the middle reads "Shark Tank Shallow Waters 5th Place."
We took our first ever dip into the Shark Tank this past weekend and got 5th place overall 🦈💥
Some of the teams we faced were super tough and we're looking forward to rematching them in the future!

big (swig) if true
We just won our fist LUTI match, going 5-0 against Deutsche Bahn. Lots of very close nail biting games, some even by one point. GGs!

Yeah, let’s just say they were an easy pick for LUTI Fantasy.
Low ink Day 2 Gamma bracket!
We made it to Round 2 of WB and Round 3 of LB, getting 39th overall.
Our best result so far in Low Ink!
Also, we are now Div 7, up from Div 8 ! Looking forward to the challenge, we will try our best.
GGs to all teams and players!!
We've finally made it to Low Ink Day 2! Going 3-3 and making it to Gamma Bracket.

Results are a side effect of improving. The goal is mastery. Learning is the fun part.
True, there is a distinct lack of play by play analysis being done in the scene, coupled with an overall low agency attitude displayed by players (reactive and formulaic play). As soon as the hand holding goes away (leaving low level), a lot struggle and just give up.
My gut feeling is that the barrier is low ink. This is not a new issue, but I know a good amount of players and teams have reaching low ink ban as their main goal. And so reach a skill level they feel satisfied with and don't bother grinding out to high level.
Been playing as a low level comp player since splat 3 release. This is not an issue at all there. Getting scrims is easy, usually we just contact people we had close game against in tournament and we schedules scrims. Finding a coach is also not too hard.
Just standing in the middle on Barnacle cause we won a game on this map and it's usually a struggle for us.

Today, we played in FLUTI and got 2nd place in Division D!
GGs all! Thanks for the games!

Nice! I can't wait to learn more about it second hand from my favorite youtuber in a 5 minute video with a x battle match in the background!
But seriously, really interested in seeing this takes form, this looks really cool. I always wanted to see something like aligulac.com but for Splatoon.
A team picture on hagglefish tower control, featuring Pine, Abyss, Maito, and Meggy.
Another team picture without names over everyone. Pine is shooting the camera because he thinks its a government drone (he is correct)
Abyss watches as Pine and Meggy have a face off Jojo's Bizarre Adventure style
Tacticoolers for everyone! Yippie!
We may not have placed top 3, but we still got 5th in gold bracket over at FTIU #96! Ggs and well played!

Not only that, we also get kill stealing.
"They stole my aura".
Tilting will never be the same.
Yeah, this reads more like it has been in the works for a while and they were waiting for things to settle down before dropping it.
Feeding was always a funny term, because it's not like the other team gets stronger by player dying repeatedly.
But with the new patch, feeding is real now.
I wonder if we will see comp playing around chip dmg and leaving kill for a specific player to trigger aura?

I understand it can be frustrating, but we have to be careful to not turn this into another "team". Finding a new scapegoat is not the way to break the cycle.
We can share our thoughts and help people learn, but we cannot force anyone to understand, that's something they have to do themselves.
Please judge this statement by my own words, not what someone else said about it on Twitter. My accusers have spent a long time spreading their narrative and may bomb this with comments to poison the well, while this is my 1st chance to publicly explain what's... docs.google.com/document/d/1...
That's the point, you have to push yourself to be the competent rando and carry your team.
The only thing you can control is your own play.
I would just be very cautious about this line of thinking as it can lead to inaction and procrastination. Not saying this is what you are doing now tho, but you are always gonna be more knowledgeable in the future and there is always more to learn and understand.
Exactly, at this point playing rain maker is like asking melee players to play Coin Battle or Stamina Mode. It’s alright for messing around or side events, but it just doesn’t work for high level competitive play.
But still, GGs to everyone involved , from the onsite to offsite staff y’all did an amazing job, and of course ggs to the players for showing amazing games.
My roommate came back home while finals were on. She has never played the game, but I was able to explain briefly what was going on since it was zone. And while a bit lost, she was able to understand the hype and was starting to get it.
Then next game was clam.. and .. yeah .. she just left.
