ESL and Nintendo will be hosting weekly ESL Go4Splatoon tournaments starting this Sunday for players all across Europe. Six months of tournaments will be held, ending with a final showdown next year where the winning team from each month’s cup will compete to win the NX, the big N’s next gaming system.

This weekend, players on the cup-winning team will earn an item of official Splatoon clothing signed by members of the development team.
