People think the minions router being baller as a joke. But I have extensively tested it and it is one of the best possible Wifi 6E routers money can buy. Like someone at Illumination Studios was like "idk $80" and the router manufacturer was like gotchu fam.

sendou.ink update - September 20th 2026 Incl. way more flexible team pick map list format enableing completely new tournaments, header indicator that'll e.g. notify you when you have new likes in SQ so can freely browse site while waiting & harder to report wrong SQ score by @hfcred.dev #sendouink

sendou.ink update - September 20th 2026

New header status indicator
- While you are in SendouQ or playing a tournament, the header shows what you have going on: your group filling up, likes received while in queue, ready checks, ongoing matches, scores waiting to be confirmed and bracket check-ins
- It links straight to the right page and updates live as things happen, so you can freely browse the site while waiting

Team picked map lists overhaul
- Choose which modes teams pick maps for, Turf War included, and how many maps for each mode
- Restrict team picks to SendouQ legal maps, all maps or a custom map pool
- Tiebreaker map pool is gone: the deciding map is one both teams picked, or a random map from the pool neither team picked
- Fix the mode order of team picked rounds when starting a bracket, e.g. every round starts with Splat Zones

Tournament brackets page minor cleanup
- The "waiting on match" status strip is gone since the header now shows the same
- The Add sub button moved to your team's page
- The Compactify toggle moved up into the bracket tab row, so the bracket now starts right below the tabs

SendouQ score reporting is harder to get wrong by accident
- The confirm button is now disabled for a few seconds before it can be pressed
- Confirming a set now shows the score and the outcome for your team, and reporting a loss requires a double tap
- Added a "Score is wrong" button which tells the other team in the match chat to undo their report
- When someone else reports a map result while you have the "Action" tab open, the submit button is now disabled for ten seconds so you can't accidentally report the next map

Filtering VODs by a weapon now shows each VOD's full weapon list, with the weapon you filtered by first

Requeue with the same group after a canceled set, without the player both teams named as the cause of the cancellation

Redesigned the tier list maker's tier editing popover & tier names now switch to white text on dark tier colors

Team…

I've been wanting to try coaching those below S rank for a while, so here is my offer. Please do not reply here if interested, just DM on Discord (it's in my bsky bio). #splatoon #compsplatoon

Offering coaching to one person below S rank (peak) to try out coaching at that level, and to hopefully get them "ready" skill-wise for competitive if they choose to go that route (casual players or those that have no interest in competitive are welcome!). I have 2 years of on-and-off coaching experience, including for players or teams that have won events like From the Ink Up, Low Ink, and more!
-# yes, I have a capture card
-# yes, it's free, unless you'd like to tip me (completely optional and it won't impact the quality of coaching)

Requirements:
- Willing to play the game at least 7+ hours a week
- 17+
- Peak rank is below S

Preferences:
- NA timezones (can do EU right now on some days, it just might be more difficult to schedule)

DM for questions/interest!

Feature exploration: clips in scanner (UI obv just placeholder) Basically it reads in your kill streaks and saves a clip automatically off each based on how impressive it is (count, density, specials used/which?) Then you can view them after your stream e.g. and upload. Would you use? #sendouink

If the point isn’t to flame or harass TOs why are we taking it to socials instead of just talking to the organizers or leaving feedback afterwards? Posts like this rarely bring any good for the community. Especially when there’s no safety concerns and you’re just unhappy with a way a tourney or org

This weekend, a 12 year old won #SWS26. 11 years and 2 days prior, on August 7, 2015, the first western #CompSplatoon tournament commenced: Ink or Sink. Sena was 1. Is this what feeling old is like?

tbh, couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to #sws26. is there a feat more impressive than dropping to losers in the first round and winning the whole bracket? the gameplay that rush brought to the table, especially out of sena and goyame, was straight up ridiculous
