Nintendo will be hosting the global championships for both Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on 8th June in lead-up to this year's E3. The Los Angeles-based finals will include players from North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia/New Zealand. Below is the announcement from the Nintendo Versus Twitter account:
Here's what the soon-to-be Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser had to say:
“We will showcase some of the best players of some of our biggest games on a huge international stage,” Whether you’re cheering for a favorite player or you just love to watch top-level competitive play, you’ll see how these events highlight the Nintendo community and bring people together.”
More details about this event, including how to attend or watch live online will be revealed in the near future on the Nintendo E3 website.

Not a bad time I suppose. Can't wait to see what's up this year at E3
So this means the tournaments are finished before e3? Still glad it in the weekend as that means I can watch the action live
I suspect an announcement after the winners get their prizes since it’s right before E3

Hmm could be possible. Still another is a smash direct right before e3. As they did that in 2015 i think
I hope they let the players choose the ruleset. I don't want this to be mocked and ridiculed when Nintendo puts Great Cave Offensive on the Stage list.
@Luke937 It's probably going to be the same ruleset as all the qualifiers unfortunately
