AREA CUP winning weapons updated 🔄

Yesterday’s AREA CUP was a record-breaking tournament, with three new weapons joining the winners’ club: iBow (tkf), v96 (Rusu), and vDapple (Neespa). In addition, two more weapons from past tournaments—Forge (Livia) and WNT-R (Lobster)—were added.

Race to Crown has now completed 17 of 24 tournaments this season. With the points from yesterday’s championship, Lobster has secured his spot for next year’s AREA CUP Crown with 193 points.

This is the earliest qualification ever—an absolute monster. Actual points in the thread.

I wanted to ask the western comp splatoon community, is there an upcoming lan tournament next march? I’m planning to visit the states around that time, and I’d love to come and spectate if there is one.

I’m currently planning to create a system, similar to a rating system, to seed Area Cup participants and place players in fair positions. If there are any references I could read, I’d appreciate your suggestions. The attached image shows what I’ve been trying out.

Here is the comparison with last seasons Race to Crown, with Lobster and Todo, the current top 2 runners making outstanding achievements (Calculated with current point system). Lobster have already gained exact same points he got from 15 tournaments, but with 11 tournaments already.

Almost half of the Race to Crown Seasons 25/26 is complete (#31 to #41, regular tournaments only — 11 out of 24). I’ve made this crown points progression graph. The top 20 are listed in order. I might have just proven that Lobster is an alien or something. Actual points in the thread.

When you’ve caused so much hurt to a community, and your friends are trying to enable you to come back so you can help them win a tourney, then they are not actually your friend. They are someone who is using you for their benefit. A real friend would help you grow, away from the scene you damaged.

I'm not great at statements for stuff like this, nor should my voice be the the main one for this discussion today, but I wanted to briefly speak on the tournament situation today.
If anything is unclear or needs clarification please let me know in the replies and I will try to clarify.

The SWS video is finally here let's talk about.
1. Why Japan has such a big advantage.
2. Mistakes we made.
3. Can we ever win a large scale tourney vs multiple of their teams?

We’ve announced the new registration process for AREA CUP and other events we host. All steps are in the post on the AREA CUP Global account. Participation is now much easier for global players, as English is available. Any feedback is welcome.

Seems like Todo won’t be competing in tomorrow’s AREA CUP for his 5th consecutive title. Pretty sad to hear, but Lobster will be going for his 4th, again. I’m really excited to see the tournament, and there will actually be a big announcement after (or during) the event. Be sure to check it out!

I really want to give a shoutout to hemi (@hemicha.bsky.social / x.com/hemicha_dayo), who did the commentary for the AREA CUP stream. His passionate commentary was absolutely amazing (as always). Please give him a follow, he truly deserves more!

If you’re looking for the #SplatWorldSeries JP VODs, I’ve posted them on the AREA CUP Global Twitter account. All the links are in the thread. (No VOD for Hornet unfortunately.)

I really need to get my English back, but no opportunities to speak it here in Japan. 😭
