Today, Nintendo announced that it will be holding two special tournaments during E3, a special Splatoon 2 World Championship and an invitational for the recently announced Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo Switch.

The top 8 players will then participate in the finals on April 28th, 2018 in a double elimination, Ranked Battle ruleset. The winning team will be sent to E3 to participate in the Splatoon 2 World Championship where three other teams from Japan, Europe, and Australia will compete against them to claim the title of champion squid squad.

In addition to the Splatoon 2 World Championship, Nintendo will be hosting another Super Smash Bros. Invitational at E3, this time using the recently announced Nintendo Switch game.
