During our latest Nintendo Direct, we were told that Nintendo Treehouse was going to be taking part in a Splatoon tournament, now dubbed as Splatournament. Since then, more details surrounding the tournament have been revealed, including how it’s going to work.
Splatournament is composed of teams of Treehouse employees battling it out in Nintendo’s newest multiplayer hit, and will be taking place tomorrow, December 2nd, at 11:00 a.m. PST. Nintendo of America’s official Twitter has also posted a bracket regarding the lineup, and it looks like there are going to be battles using the Tower Control, Turf War, Splat Zones and Rainmaker game modes. There’s also going to be a loser’s bracket, which means if you pick a favorite team that ends up getting beaten, you don’t have to give up hope then and there.
Here’s how the brackets look:
Additionally, the six teams will be giving viewers tips on how to set up tournaments of their own, and showing off competitive play using some of the newer weapons and maps. You can check out the lineup on the official Splatoon Tumblr.
You’ll be able to watch Splatournament on Nintendo’s official YouTube, Twitch or website. Make sure you don’t miss any of the mess!
