Just off the top of my head, might edit later.
there's also Gridlock in NYC, usually in July
Southern California has socallie but they’re on hiatus for a while until they can move to a new location
I live quite a bit away from Houston but it's still nice to see Texas has one
wow, in TEXAS? What about Oklahoma?
Imagine if Nintendo was able to implement a way for people to upload notifications for local events to the game, and players in that area could see it on a map like a Pokémon Go gym.
No
good idea but malicious people could use it to lure people
@@UmbraVivens94 true, but thats why i said imagine if they *were able* to
@@UmbraVivens94conside it sends it your whole team, is pretty unlikely
At 2:49 you accidentally made some cool howling wolf art in the yellow ink negative space.
WOAH LOL
How did you even notice this 😭😭
I didn't even realize that there was a LAN in Arizona. I'm still pretty young and have been wanting to make friends but always have struggled with it, so the mention of Sunset Surge had me light up. I know I would be alone going in, but maybe I could come out with people I could resonate with and keep my hype for Splatoon alive.
SUNSET SURGE!!!!! prickly pears (a team w/ 3 arizonans) came in 4th :)
I came into Sunset Surge alone. Didn't know anybody there and was new to the splatoon community and didn't have anyone as an entry point. I can assure you that I have never met a nicer, more welcoming group of people than this AZ community
Sunset surge is awesome. You should come!
Thank you for highlighting this. Events at the national level cannot sustain communities on their own. We should not ignore the power of how local events are really the connective tissue that drives a group of people to do something.
There’s a saying that “all politics is local”, and the reasoning is that, for most people, the places a person could have a large impact on are those immediately close to them. Forging the sense of personal connection with others creates a dependable network that pools their resources to make things happen. Politicians that want to get elected want to garner that personable image about them. The most effective ones already have it.
Bringing it back to Splatoon, I think it’s worth understanding this because a strong foundation for the community is to have the local scenes. I can personally attest that, in the athletic activity I was in during high school, being emotionally connected to teams in my local area made me care more about national competitions where I saw those teams I knew performing well.
Overall, insightful video!
LTC was my very first LAN experience. It was an insane experience getting to see and meet all the people who enjoy the same silly squid game that I love. The hype of seeing teams compete, the crowd going wild for every cooler popped, and enthusiastically yelling “GO” starting every match near the end. If I ever have a chance to go to another LAN, I want to help make it be something special for someone like how LTC is now one of my favorite things I’ve done and is so special to me.
Love the points you've made here, as somebody who also moved from the smash community over to Splatoon. I'm currently spearheading a movement to start up a local community and LAN in Colorado, and I'm super psyched to be working with some great local players to make it happen :D
Sunset Surge shoutout!! Those AZ players are so cool!!
Another problem found after trying to get friends and coworkers into splatoon can be just how expensive of a game to get into it is the $60 game with $20 online where as smash you set up your system of choice at a party and can get people to try it out but also needing 8 people minimum to play a match is hard when I can't even get 8 of my friends to text back and bot having a car makes the pool I have to play with much smaller too so I can't take advantage of the closest big city's scene without already having connections in the scene to get there
It was actually thanks to you retweeting them that I was able to find SplatoonPNW, a group from the west coast. They recently had a successful in-person in Seattle, and are hoping to make another in-person in Portland. Their really nice, and host weekly (sometimes twice a week) "pool parties" where anyone could just hop in.
I heard about SPNW via Twitter in late 2022 when I was visiting family in the area and I thought it was so cool. Been following them since then and hope to eventually make it back up north for an extended period of time to maybe join one of their events :)
LTC was an amazing experience. You sat behind me and watched me play Big Swig and called it some of the most interesting splatoon gameplay you’ve seen. Awesome
i appreciate the gridlock/metroink shoutout :D i was so happy the first time i found out there was a ny scene. i'm hoping for a big turnout for gridlock this year, and it's looking really good so far!!
Splatoon PNW for Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia! We're friends with Seabattle also. We have members in California and Idaho also.
All throughout highschool I never had a local environment, but now in uni!... I still don't, but I can try start one.
As a Sunset Surge regular and guy who's relatively new to splatoon, I can't recommend the experience enough. There's only been a year's worth of lans (4 events in total) and the amount I personally have improved from just being in contact with these people is wild. Both at lans and in the highly active discord server, there are opportunities to talk and play with high-level players, from which I have had crazy improvement. It's not often that I can come out of a match where the other team wipes the floor with us and go "wow, that was a good experience and I learned a lot" but I feel like that happens every time I go up against a good team there.
Serious vouch for Sunset Surge.
Nothing has made me prouder as a human being than when my local Pokémon crew were cheering on their teammate when he made it the second day of a major tournament.
He could only do that because he'd had people to practice against and play with and chat about strategy.
And he could only do that because I started up a Pokémon League.
I wholeheartedly recommend TOing for a game you love - find a local store as a base, make posters, talk about it with people, and build that community.
I think that easily the hardest part of maintaining a locals scene is being able to find and promote events in the first place. I would love to participate in a local but I didn't know many locals in my area (at least until you told me). I would hope that there would be localized discord servers similar to Splat LANs which announce these kinds of events, I think that would go a long way in building community around local scenes
I went to LTC because it was at a good time of the year and I just wanted to participate in a LAN for the first time. Seems as though a lot of people were in the same boat as me, because a lot of people there were new to LANs. The first thing I thought on the way back from LTC was "okay, when's the next one I can go to?". I really hope that a lot of other people were thinking the same thing.
Wow, I didn't know Gem was moving on to business advice.
Might need to look into venues for an NZ LAN 🤔 would be nice to have a tournament that isn't across the ditch in AUS
PEPE SHOUTOUT!!!!!!!!!!
lets go love the content
where's the part where gem tells how how to afford going to LANs in the first place
Right? I feel like this is an important detail getting glossed over. Not just cost of but the type of transportation matters. For a price point of $0.00 I can walk pretty far, but then I'll be in severe pain the next day (I'm disabled). For a couple dozen dollars I can reimburse someone for gas to get me to one and back, but who do I know that would care? For a few hundred dollars, I can fly to Texas, but I don't have a few hundred dollars.
after watching this i literally just posted an announcement for the next Ohio locals
Bots ;(
