Humble Beginnings

Inspired by Toronto's thriving Super Smash Bros. scene, Pastecat set out to celebrate the launch of Splatoon and give local players a place to gather. There wasn't a scene to inherit or a template to follow, just a brand-new game, a love for Splatoon, and the conviction that the Greater Toronto Area deserved a home for it. That single idea planted the seed for what would grow into Canada's greatest Splatoon community.

Built by the community

Founder

Pastecat

Kickstarted Squid Social in 2015, inspired by Toronto's Smash scene, and grew it into a community staple before passing the torch.

Current lead

Took the reins at Squid Social 17 and has kept Pastecat's vision alive: a welcoming space for Splatoon players across the GTA.

Competitive lead

Joined alongside Ice and brought a competitive edge to the socials, introducing the draft brackets that give serious players a real ladder to climb while the casual lobbies keep rolling.

Stream lead

Yoshido

Built out the stream alongside the drafts, carrying our matches well past the room they're played in and out to the largest audience the community has ever had.
