I was worried it wouldn't be as funny watching it a second time but nope

They are the original escorted Inkling. If anything, when we play Escort Missions in GAF rooms, the person on each team designated as the person being escorted should be called [name redacted]s. :lol

why are you redacting names

man there's only room on a team for one blaster or one dynamo roller man, if you have two of them you know you're fucked right off the bat

I choked hard in this last match Walkman. always happens after I do really well lol.

EDIT: Actually, what seems to be happening is that when I did well was a complete fluke lol. Still adjusting to the Tentatek

Hmm, the tournament rules are a bit complicated and annoying.

1.Teams must have 4-7 Players, and players may not be on more than one team
2.Each set in rounds prior to Finals will be played as best of five. Each round will feature a different mode in this order: Turf War, Splat Zones, Tower Control
3.Maps will be chosen for the first match in a set in a 1-2-1 style banning. (Similar to Smash)1.For the first match you must choose from the Starting Maps:

1.Urchin Underpass
2.Saltspray Rig
3.Walleye Warehouse
4.Blackbelly Skatepark
5.Arowana Mall

2.For following matches any map may be used, but the losing team of the previous match may ban 3 maps from being played that match. Maps added to the list are:

1.Port Mackerel
2.Kelp Dome
3.Bluefin Depot
4.Moray Towers
5.Camp Triggerfish

4.Weapon and Gear Switching allowed only after the second and fourth match of a set.
5.Team member swapping will be allowed between rounds.

Basically you'd have to emphasize gear loadout for turf + splatzone, tower + turf, then splat zone. Still have no idea what's a good team composition yet but a single charger is likely a must. Surely there will be teams carrying inkstrikes just to cheese turf wars. And since you can switch team members anyway, having people that can use multiple weapons isn't as important.

Too many variables to think of at this time, people should probably just find people they want to play with and form a team and have fun.

OK, finished getting all the highlights I wanted out of that stream from earlier. Here we go:

Carbon Roll'd: In which the single most HAM Japanese Carbon Roller goes off versus myself.
.52 Lag Deco: In which firing upon a back turned enemy makes you explode.
MLG Ledge Hops: Is this Melee? :lol

OK, now that we've gotten the weak shit out of the way, on to the main event:

The Hiro's Path: A tale of perseverance in the face of cruel squid on kid violence. Lightly sprinkled with some GAF metacommentary on Gold Aerospray da gawd.
Remembering a Hiro: Some legends fade and some are lost to time. A Hiro never dies however. They are only immortalized...
New Game Mode Announced: Escort Missions! | Part 2: *in radio disclaimer announcer voice and pace* "We here at SplatGAF denounce any affiliations with the Squid Research Labs and any other similarly named group. SplatGAF is for the kids and the squids. SplatGAF urges you to enjoy this new mode responsibly.*

It's August 5th for the update in NA so technically two days, but yeah, I don't think any teams will have "strats" at the tournament.

Yeah gaf can we promise not to overcomplicate the team matchmaking and such when the new modes arrive

Random lobbies are so good. :p

Yeah, immediately after the update is not the best idea IMO, should give your squads a little time to play together properly first.

I'm telling you guys we should just do our own tournament that Saturday. We've got enough people for like 4 or 5 teams. I'm not taking off work for a Splatoon tourney lol.

I want you to watch the video and guess who we're talking about before the big reveal about 2:30 into the New Game Mode video. If we give the name away, some GAF members good with Japanese will get it and the early game hilarity will be lost on them. It's so good it needs two watches to get everything. :lol
