We need your help! We're recruiting two players to join our team and fight alongside Nintendo Life staff members in the Splatoon 2 UK Championship Grand Final next month.
What is happening?
Nintendo UK has invited Nintendo Life to enter a team into its Splatoon 2 UK Championship Grand Final at EGX 2017 in Birmingham at the end of September.
Our team will be made up of two staff members and two readers (that's you guys) who will unite to compete together at the Grand Final at EGX.
Our qualifying pair will be invited by Nintendo UK to EGX, including travel expenses and entry to the show.
When is it happening?
This coming Wednesday, 30th August. You'll need to take part in the League Battle @ 19:00-21:00.
How can I enter?
Simply team up with a friend and play in Splatoon 2's League Battle during the 19:00-21:00 slot this Wednesday 30th August as a pair and, after the battle, share a screenshot of your record score with us on Twitter, mentioning @NintendoLife and using the hashtag #UKSplatChamps, showing your pair’s highest league power. If Twitter's not really your thing, you can alternatively just email us your score at [email protected].
We'll accept photos of the Switch screen or direct screenshots - whichever you prefer.
Rules: You will have until midnight on Thursday 31st Aug to share your photo with us and our winning pair will be announced the following day on nintendolife.com. We will pick the team with the highest league power score that is able to attend the event, a backup team will also be selected just in case the winning team pulls out. You must be available to travel to EGX from within England, Scotland or Wales on the date of the Grand Final. Our decision is final. Any further questions, please contact us.
Can you help us, will you join our team? Tell your friends and let us know if you intend to enter in the comments below.
Staaaay fresh!

Good luck guys!
Shouldn't anyone outside the UK not be allowed to enter or comment in this story? We're barred when it's a competition for a prize giveaway.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE nah, we hope people will try and encourage their fellow NLers to enter it should be fun!
Well, I'm not in the UK(but in Belgium), nor I have a good parter, but I'm pretty good by myself...
I would like to participate, just to compare myself to other, but then again, no parter... Anyone in the same situation ?
@Mopati Yeah I don't have anyone to team up with either...
Good luck to everyone that wants to join the team though!
@Mopati you in Belgium?
Pm me at Cfgk24 on twitter or Facebook. We Have a switch party this weekend in Belgium....
Oh, looks like I can't enter the tournament at EGX anyway, I saw the video and just commented that I can't go to EGX because my friends can't go and I don't have much money. :/
But, I'm only just getting Splatoon 2 on Thursday, and none of my friends even have a Switch so it turns out I can't enter this anyway. : P
@cfgk24 I would love to participate! But I'm not free this week-end...
@Peace-Boy if you win, travel costs will be covered by Ninendo and free tickets to EGX. So it shouldn't cost you much at all
@antdickens Well, as I've said already, my friend doesn't have a Switch and I'm getting Splatoon 2 on Thursday. :/
Would love to play but I live in America, plus I have no friends,
Is this open to US residents?
@16bitdave I'm pretty sure it's UK Residents only. I think it said so in the last post.
Anyway, I've got the time and date booked on my calendar, and am really looking forward to giving this a crack (with @silentium) on Wednesday. Only two more days to go!
I'm up for this but I have no one to battle alongside me 😕
I wish I could enter, but I don't have a Switch and I don't live in the UK
@Maxz aww bummer. Oh well good luck out there!
@Mopati we have another the following weekend .. Actually, we're gaming all week.
@cfgk24 Actually, I work all week-ends of September... But I'm interested after this month.
But we could be far from each other in Belgium, or even not talking the same language... ^^'
I've looked your name on the internet, but I can't find any information about that...
if anyone needs a partner you can add me!
@Anemone978 you about for the last 5 mins
My partner left after 30 mins
@Maxz Good luck Maxz!
@otterskateboard Thanks adam! Unfortunately we got off to a bit of a rocky start, and had to drag ourselves up from quite a low score. We won 6 or 7 games in a row, which brought us up to a semi reasonable score, but nothing to blow anyone's socks off. Also, we were up against this pair: https://twitter.com/cf_flare/status/902991247765364736
Who were second in... I think the entire world. Maybe Europe. But, err... yeah! It doesn't look like we beat them.
Thanks for your support though. It was fun trying!
@wolvesboy sorry I missed it!
@Anemone978 it's fine buddy, there was no way I was getting through anyway, I think I managed about 1755 until my teammate decided to leave after 30 mins
@Maxz Oh woah, that's some competition! Oh well, semi-reasonable is better than semi-goshdarnawful. Nice job!, and there'll be plenty more socks to blow off.
@wolvesboy I see, sorry your partner left. I hope I will get to try something like this some other time.
