2 WRs (on irrelevant categories that aren't optimized yet, but we take what we can get) #forzahorizon

looking for a +1 again for siege must be actively willing to grind the game or have a bit of experience already, as some of us have a bit of a head start and it's a long grind to unlock ranked

AREA CUP is currently looking for staff members to work as global liaisons. Both English and Japanese are required. Native English speakers are welcome, but applicants should have JLPT N2-level Japanese proficiency or equivalent. If interested, please contact me or the AREA CUP X account.

Top 50 WW / Top 15 Americas on this Trailblazer in FH6 with my own tune! Share code for tune: 132 716 417 #forzahorizon

amazing game (yes, this is a real bug) it has something to do with mass-downloading replays as far as I understand atm

5* Jr complete, enjoy this clip I got the other day while I was working towards finishing the grind #splatoon #splatoonclips

22 today 🥳

...in related news, I plan on starting to do yaps in video format on YT for visibility purposes, mainly focused on beginner-friendly advice towards those at low ranks, casuals, and/or those wanting to get into comp maybe I'll bring on guests occasionally too, idk yet

imo if you want to make educational content or start coaching just go for it, you don't need to be some top-level player or coach to make an impact will it be perfect? no, but waiting for perfection just causes stagnation in the community and missed chances for people to improve (1/4)

R6 educational content has opened up the floodgates in terms of ideas for coaching for me, and I want to apply it to Splatoon for fun (and also because I have a lot of time on my hands rn)

I'd love to try and teach someone who comes from another shooter about Splatoon and try to get them to S+ quickly, but the barrier to entry to get into this game (the cost of owning a switch + the game + online, no kbm support for those used to that, and many more things) is just so large :(

the discord server is now open to anyone wanting to learn Siege with us!! we have a pickup scrim role for anyone wanting to group up to play in coordinated, competitive environments against each other! discord.gg/W8WEmN5XbR

server to play with us and do low-rank pickup scrims (Plat 5 and below) in Siege coming soon 👀

PSA to ping people in a server if they get hacked, as the hackers are smart enough to ignore any incoming DMs (the hacked user won't get pinged for them), and the only reason I found out so fast is because I got pinged in a friend's server and saw the notification there

should be good now? changed password, flushed out every device logged into my account, anything else I need to do?

got hacked on disc, solving it rn ty for your patience

TO of the year right here (it's not me)

I'm looking to make a small group interested in learning another shooter (thinking OW or R6Siege atm) and seeing if we can learn something about splatoon/coaching from it. I'm aiming to maybe meet somewhere from 1-3x a week (highly flexible based on availability). (1/2)

Happy birthday sendou.ink! 🍾🎉 7 years ago I made the first commit to my university project. I don't think I would have expected to keep working on it almost every single day for the next 7 years :) Here's for 7 more? Thank you every user along the way! It's been nothing but fun. #sendouink

not fully related to the very important sexism discussion going on rn, but the people who think they're a know-it-all, have no experience in some of the fields they're talking about, and refuse to admit the latter might be an issue are some of my least favorite people in this community (1/2)

GG1 version coming soon™️

We survived; Global Gauntlet #1 by SWS, presented by IPL in collaboration with AREA CUP has concluded. Thank you for playing! Look forward to news about GG2 coming soon. #sws26

GG was amazing last night! It's so cool to see the improvement of our teams, all of the close sets, and the format getting a lot of love! We will be having a meeting soon to discuss how we can improve GG in the future, so stay tuned! 🫡

The format is way too good. The only problem is that there are so many sets that would be grand finals tier in any other events so you want to watch them all. #sws26

Gonna try my best for the Gauntlet today. I'm very excited to play against strong players and super thankful to be given this opportunity, Good luck to everyone participating and don't worry too much about the pressure of NEEDING to take a map. Just make the most out of this opportunity and enjoy

it's gonna be a struggle keeping myself awake so late (I am the sleeper) but it'll be worth it :)
