The " Grand Festival", the biggest festival in the history of Splatoon 3, was held from September 13, 2024 (Fri.) to September 16, 2024 (Mon.). The "Present" group dominated the vote ratio and the number of "Horagai" in the Yobi Festival, In the final results, the "past" group came out on top in all battles! The "Past" group won the battle! The "Past" group was quite strong, as many of them have been playing since the first "Splatoon", as "Siocolors" is a supporter of the "Past" group. However, I was not surprised to see that the "current" group was also strong! The "present" and "future" groups all did their best! The "Grand Festival" will mark the end of the regular content additions announced for the first two years after the launch, but we are happy to announce that special seasonal festivals such as "Splatoween" and the "Big Run" will be held again! The Byte Team Contest will be held with new content, and we are very happy to announce that Splatoon 3 will continue to be held in the future. However, since the "Grand Festival" just ended, we thought that the event would take a break for a little while...! The next event has already been announced! The " Splatoon 3 Gachi-King" online tournament will be held!
The "BANKARA Match" will be held in 4 categories!
The "Splatoon 3 Gachi-King Championship" is an online tournament for Nintendo Switch's "Splatoon 3". There have been many "Splatoon 3" online tournaments in the past, but this time, as the name "Gachi-King Determination Battle" implies, there will be four categories : Gachi-Area, Gachi-Yagura, Gachi-Hoko Battle, and Gachi-Sari, which are the rules of "Bankara Match"! The four divisions will be held! Even when you play BANKARA MATCH on a regular basis, you will feel the tension of the "BANKARA MATCH", which is different from the "NAWABARI BATTLE", but when you play in a tournament limited to these rules, you will be playing in the tension of the "GACHI". The top eight teams will advance to the " Final Tournament," and the winning team will be crowned King of each rule. Entries are now being accepted, but the deadlines, qualifying event matches, and final tournament schedule differ for each rule , so let's take a look at them all at once!

The four teams that have been chosen as kings in each category, the " Gachi Yagura King," "Gachi Asari King," "Gachi Hoko Battle King," and "Gachi Area King," will compete in the "Grand Final" on Saturday, December 21, 2024. Grand Final" will be held on Saturday, December 21, 2024!
The "Grand Final" will be held under all four rules of the BANKARA Match! If you are the king in your division, you must be good at that rule, but you will also have to fight in other rules as well! It's really tough and fun not only to improve your level of skill to be the top player in each division, but also to improve your level of skill in other rules as well. Of course, there are rules that we are good at and rules that we are not so good at, so whether we focus on practicing the rules that we are good at or whether we improve our skills in a well-balanced way, the preparation for the tournament is going to be very different for each team. The final tournament and the grand finalwill be broadcastonYouTube Live and Nico Nico Live, which has made a big comeback, so whether you did not participate this time or were eliminated in the preliminary round, let's watch the birth of the "Gachi-King!
