Minnow Cup is a tournament series that focuses in on a specific ranked mode. Modes will be rotated once per month. The goal of the tournament is to give these teams a chance to get into the Splatoon 3 competitive scene and build relationships with others within the community. As well, the purpose of the tournament is to get lower level teams more familiar with certain modes that they may struggle with. By partaking in the tournament, we are trying to help teams possibly try out new setups or approaches to different sets of maps for the mode of the month. We hope that we can steadily improve the lower level scene by giving them a chance to find new strategies for each mode one month at a time!
