New map Ancho-V games gets added to the rotation. Time to break out an easy weapon and take a look around. Turf War is probably a better way to reconnoitre the map than Rainmaker, the ranked mode, so I join the queue and get ready.
And in the queue for Turf ...

Another relaxing game of Turf War to unwind after a string of losses in Rainmaker.
This time, I take my Splatterscope out for a ride on Camp Triggerfish, making use of the long lines-of-sight to ink plenty of turf and splat a handful of squids.

My Rainmaker battles keep frustrating me. Lots of skilled squids out to make me lose the coveted A rank tonight, it seems. Swapping weapons isn't helping, so I revert to a battle of Turf War just to feel like I can actually play well.
That doesn't go to plan at first. ...

The Dual Squelcher may have a good range, but it's not as good as a charger. In the right tentacles, a charger is a good suppression weapon, and these squids have the right tentacles.

And in the next battle, after a shaky start, I get to the top rank with a ...

A new lobby gets me a new squidmate to enjoy. Golo may not be that harmful, but he gets himself in to good positions and definitely causes a nuisance. I think I like him.

But the squids in the next battle are mostly newsquids, and I feel guilty for staying so ...

The battle felt closer than it turned out to be, even though it's still quite close, maybe because that Killian squid kept jumping me from out of nowhere.

He's an aptly named kid, that's for sure.
A disconnection before the next battle gives me the opportunity to change my equipment, so I ...

So close to going 5-0 with the Splattershot Jr in this battle, but I step over a mine and can't get away in time.

Never mind, we're racking up the points for Team Money in the EU Splatfest!
Next I'm trying not to hassle newsquids.
I can only be so aggressive during Turf ...

Squids were super-keen to super-jump in this Splatfest battle, and other squids were just as keen to wait and welcome them with ink spraying.
I continue where I left off last night, with the Splattershot Jr. Its Bubbler should come in handy, and its ink efficiency is superb.

Another dominating game in the EU Splatfest, with Ben and Steiner, plus a random squid that's changing each game now.
I leave them to it at the opponents' base when I realise we've got them cornered, and return to ink some of the turf we've bypassed. I think the others have ...

It's a Money vs Money battle in the Splatfest, so the colours change around for us.
Either the others aren't trying so hard, with nothing on the line for the Splatfest, or we are being a bit too aggressive in pushing forwards.

I think our team are gelling quite well. Ben and ...
