    What are divisions though? Is there any way to tell what you are if you haven’t played competitive or are you div 9 (i assume the lowest) if you haven’t played competitive before.

    I hope there are other seeding tournaments before LUTI kicks off. The groups I’m with aren’t feeling ready for comp (even if the speed ladder is more casual and would be a good chance to get practice in imo), but I’d love to get another chance to get seeded and involved in LUTI again once those groups are more established

  • @rokushou

    I know solo queue is not a good predictor of div ranking, but considering Gem is X rank in Splat 2 and placed in div 3-5, what is the minimum rank for someone to play competently (read: not be dead weight) in LUDI? I maxed out at A for 3/4 of the modes in Splat 2 with a B+ in clam blitz since I sucked at it. I know the ranks in Splat 3 are not glicko based but I'm currently low S.

    • @SquidSchool
      @SquidSchool  Год назад +1

      My understanding is that the lowest division probably has some teams with very new players. If you're interested, I'd at least give it a try. LUTI, btw, not LUDI

    I'm curious, is best of 9 a lot for splatoon? What's the normal number of games in a set?

    • @Jimmy30811
      @Jimmy30811 Год назад +4

      Most of the time you'll see best of 3, with grand finals being best of 5 or bo7.
      Luti can be a lot. If you play 9 games, each game taking 6 minutes (lobby time) the set can take an hour, sometimes a bit longer.
      Thats why the format is setup to play 1 match a week.
      In the past, my teams have hopped on 1.5 hours earlier, scrimmed a seperate team for 1 hour to play the set warm.
      Then play the bo9 set!!

    yeah I realized literally no one in the competitive will ever explain exactly how tournament sets, loser's brackets, and such work. As if no gives any fucks what kind of tournament it is as long as players get to play competitively, lmao. And so, casual viewers like me will constantly hear about "tournaments" but never feel interested to get in or maybe feel like having anxiety because the YT pro's we're watching never say mum, like it's some sort of super secret organization invite only lol

    • @SquidSchool
      @SquidSchool  Год назад +1

      The "losers bracket" concept you describe is part of the double elimination tournament format, which isn't used at all by either the Inkademy Speed Ladder or LUTI. I could go through an explanation of how a tournament set works and some basics along those lines if people are interested, but many of those things weren't relevant to this video. The only thing you needed to understand for this video was what "best of 9" means, which I figure people know from playing Rock Paper Scissors or whatever else.
