Nintendo Australia has also given us a brief description of the competing teams.

Team Yeah Nah

Sharing a namesake with the most Australian of colloquialisms, Yeah Nah took the victory in Online Qualifier #1 of the 2018 AUNZ Splatoon 2 Cup.

Yeah Nah’s Charger main, Latias, competed in last year’s E3 2017 Splatoon World Inkling Invitational with Blue Ringed Octolings… and will vie to introduce her new teammates to the world stage when they take on ScarthAce this Saturday.

Team ScarthAce

Last year’s AUNZ Splatoon Cup final runners-up, ScarthAce, are back for their second shot at grand final victory, having won Online Qualifier #2 of the 2018 AUNZ Splatoon 2 Cup.

Not only do ScarthAce comprise the competition’s two remaining New Zealanders, but in a display of great showmanship, Clash Blaster wielder Spaceman accompanied Blue Ringed Octolings to E3 last year as their sub player for the Splatoon World Inkling Invitational.

The Vooks Team wishes the best of luck to both teams.
