We got some fierce competition squid rolling into this tournament. Check out some of the competition here starting with New York Rats.
These are some of the toughest rats so you’re gonna need more then an exterminator to take down these pesky guys!
Seeing events like LTC inspire us to hold the best events we can. We’d like to invite everyone to wish one of our head t.os

a happy birthday! He has been a crucial part of our team, through thick and thin.
Happy Birthday Law!
Our third team entering the fray isn't even from the Tri-State area, minus one player! They came up with a perfect name for this combo, it's Weast Coast Gaming!

There's been an awful lot of post lan blues going around... We think we may have just what you are looking for! 👇❤️🔥
Checkout our first official Nintendo licensed event, Gridlock 2024!
Our third team highlight is Fuego Calamari. This team is returning from Gridlock with a +1. Will this change be enough to keep Fuego’s championship dreams alive? Maybe they’ll need the help of a little green frog?
Then for our fourth team highlight we got Infinite Food Glitch. You might recognize some of the players on this team. Let’s just hope they show us the secret to the infinite food glitch, specifically for some good old Sbarros.
🚨TWO MORE DAYS🚨
