Description
In Pokémon, competitive singles uses different tiers to separate Pokémon and put them against others of a similar power level. We have translated this concept into Splatoon by separating each and every weapon into 3 main tiers, OU (Over Used), UU (Under Used) and NU (Never Used), with OU being comprised of the most commonly used weapons.
This tournament will focus on the UU tier, which by consequence will also allow weapons in the NU tier to be selected. We have simplified things by diving weapons into 2 categories: banned and allowed, so stuff like both Splash-o-matics, Ballpoint and .96 Deco is banned, but both N-ZAPs, Hydra and regular .96 Gal are all allowed, among many others! You can check out the full list in our Discord server and Battlefy page.
Furthermore, the winning team will be awarded a nice $40 USD via PayPal! If there's enough interest to make this a recurring format, the prize pool will be expanded for future editions, so we look forward to seeing you participate and craft a brand new meta!
You can register up until 15 minutes before the tournament starts (7 PM EST). Let's send off the Fresh Season meta by putting the most under-used weapons under the spotlight!
