Additionally, we wanna shout out our besties at @whiprays.com for the love and support this year. It's been phenomenal to watch how they've grown. You could say they got a massive LAN buff, but they were already fantastic. 💪

MUSCLE, MUSCLE, MUSCLE! LET'S GO!!!! Despite our placement, we feel we played our hearts out and really put on a show for the main stage. And considering how we were running around like chickens with our head cut off, we did pretty darn good. Our brackets were ROUGH. Thank you for the cheers 💖

Malibu battled through Beta Bracket, going down on Rainmaker Undertow by a single point to Malevolence in Losers Round 3. GGs! We had a blast! We'll be a bit touch-and-go this summer with another member moving and prepping for Gridlock and Riptide, but we'll still be here competing! 🫡 #compSplatoon

Malibu Rising wraps up LUTI Season 17 with an 0-5 record in Div 6 Group F. We fought some solid teams, and we can't deny it: We fumbled a lot. We were hurting bad. But we stuck it through, and we're still here. Still learning and getting better together! #CompSplatoon

Our LUTI match for tonight had to be rescheduled, so we golfed it up. (Mostly we fought and did a little golf on the side.)
