Although both teams managed to impress throughout the tournament, it was team Yeah Nah that stole the show with a 5-0 victory against ScarthAce in the final that included some very close results, with the first game decided by 0.2%.

Team Yeah Nah may have taken the win, but two-time grand finalists ScarthAce were worthy contenders, showing masterful skill and great sportsmanship. Qualifying on top in the second round of 2018 online qualifiers, ScarthAce are no strangers to the big stage, having achieved runner-up in last year’s 2017 AUNZ Splatoon Cup. We thank ScarthAce for their continued perseverance, dedication and inspiration they provide to everybody in the Splatoon community.

Thank you to all of the players who participated in the 2018 AUNZ Splatoon 2 Cup, and to all of those who tuned in to the livestream or attended the grand finale at Supanova in Melbourne. We look forward to welcoming more players into the Splatoon 2 community as it continues to grow long into the future.
