Good at Splatoon on WiiU? How’d you like to go to E3 2017? Battlefy and Nintendo are working together to host a big Splatoon tournament across different game modes in the Wii U shooter. Anyone over the age of 18 can compete, as long as you live in the US and own a Wii U and Splatoon. The winning team will get to attend E3 and be the special guest of Nintendo at the show for the Nintendo Switch. Hell, I’m tempted to enter myself, even though I’ve not played the Wii U, ever… who wants to carry me?
Via the Press Release:
Battlefy is hosting an online Splatoon tournament across different game modes, including Turf War, Splat Zones, Tower Control and Rainmaker. Anyone ages 18 and up living in the United States with a Wii U console, the Splatoon game and internet access can participate. The winning team will win a trip to Los Angeles to attend the E3 video game trade show this June and check out what Nintendo has in store.
To enter, just find three other friends (and an optional backup) to join your squid squad and register your team at https://battlefy.com/splatoon.
The qualifying round (Turf War) is on April 22 at 11 a.m. PT, but make sure to log in early and click the “Check In” button an hour before tournament time. Once the bracket is seeded, you can set up your qualifying match using Battlefy’s Private Match Chat and then proceed to splat your way to hopeful victory. The top 16 teams in the qualifying round will then move on to the finals. In the finals, teams will play Turf War, Splat Zones and Tower Control in succession in single-elimination best-of-five play until only two teams remain. The Grand Finals will see the final two teams doing battle in Rainmaker mode to determine the winner. The finals will begin on April 29 at 11 a.m. PT.
