if not obvious by the way, we are trying to push #sws26 as a hashtag and hope to use the results of centralizing posts to it in a super secret project later, so tag accordingly 🙂

THE BEST TO EVER DO IT🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

#SWS26 IS UPON US

Welcome to #sws26. youtu.be/ysMhbOOaY1g

When you have top-level talent playing in your events, you want the best of the best when it comes to production. Along with familiar faces you know and love, we have added some rising stars in the production scene to support our broadcasts. Meet the talent behind #sws26!

The Splat World Series is both bigger and better than last year. - [NEW!] Eastern Qualifier (4 Qualify, 4 Invited) - Western Qualifers (Win @ W Semis or L Quarters to Qualify) - 2 Day Finals on August 7th and 8th (Swiss -> DE) #sws26

hope u guys enjoy the sound design as well, done by meeee :3

To prepare each region for #sws26, we have introduced a new event: the Global Gauntlet. This event is designed to familiarize players with playing internationally. - Open Qualifiers into Finals - 2 editions prior to SWS26 - Fight invitees from AREA CUP

Maybe the West is a more night owl type of region. For #sws26, we have moved timeslots for our international events to be friendlier to those people. 7am ET -> 11pm ET International events will now take place on Friday evening for North American teams, concluding on the following day.

To implement further depth to strategy between games, STRIKE/SELECT is coming to #sws26: - All stages, zones only - Teams ban 2 stages each before the set - Winner bans 2 stages - Loser picks stage

i stayed up until 4am working on this, i hope everyone enjoys what we were cooking up!

Made a new editor splashtag since i'm doing more of that. Filled with references to my comp career and some media I like. If you want to make your own: splashtagmaker.com

Hey folks - the organizers of R4R repurposed our server to something new: Staffing Grounds! This is a place where TOs, casters, and other non-player roles throughout the #compsplatoon community can meet and hang out with one another. If that's you, here's the server link! discord.gg/g57D22w8e4

Three people who I think had the most underappreciated runs of 2025 in the comp splatoon community: @zapfisk.splstrong.com @ckk312.broadcastbeep.com @joythedatanerd.bsky.social All of them put a ton of work into their projects this year, and deserve more flowers than what they've been given so far

the second part has hit the thread‼️

Super talented individual! I have a strong feeling that this is just the beginning of their journey. Such a strong resume! 🔥

2025 Year In Review I’d have liked to look back on the past year and compare reality to what I’d wished to have completed. Unfortunately 2024 was an abysmally dogshit year for me, so I’ve nothing to go off of. On a personal level, 2025 wasn’t a particularly good year either

not done btw ! twitter has a thread limit and im mirroring posts!

Prob the most artistically talented individual in our community rn Splatoon has NEVER felt more esport!

24 post thread for why you should vote sukiizala for production this year, in case you weren't already convinced (how?)

with the year wrapping up, i think it'd be nice to talk about all of the projects i've worked on this year!

not to self glaze, but id really appreciate if you vote me for production🥹 ive done the production for the Splat World Series for @iplabs.ink and @raise4raices.bsky.social, and also the recent branding for @ftwin.bsky.social !!

regardless of how you feel about this situation and Splat Safety, I urge you to read this document in its entirety this is a situation that has affected the lives of REAL people, and the least we can do as a community is to stay informed and remain open to perspectives from those affected

INKSANE presents: The Splatoon Community Awards 2025! TUNE IN: December 28th 8pm ET / 5pm PT Better late than never!

Patch it up, The Cactus Patch is BACK! The end of the year is near, but it wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have one more episode to close it out! Join Cactus as they speak with Ely, Strings and Rockit to discuss the Raise 4 Raices Charity Event! Tune in Tomorrow 6pm EDT!

With 2025 coming to a wrap, and it being my first year fully committed to Inkling Performance Labs, I thought it might be fun to do a bit of a recap to highlight the orgs growth in the last year. No fancy graphics or anything, but here's some states on IPL in 2025! 🧵
