What it's about
Squid Social is Toronto's monthly in-person Splatoon meetup, and it's the heart of what we do. Once a month we take over a room at the University of Toronto and fill it with setups, brackets, and people who love this game as much as you do.
The afternoon runs competitive and casual at the same time: a draft bracket for players who want to test themselves, and open lobbies for everyone else to jump between. We match people together to make teams as balanced as possible. Your experience, rank, none of it matters. Everyone has a great time in the draft brackets.
We wrap up by signing the month's poster and taking a group photo, so come for the matches and stay for the community.
GO and VIA trains both arrive at Union Station, which is on the subway. From there, take Line 1 north and you're at St George in about ten minutes, no transfer needed.
One room we take over for the day. Setups line tables at one end, the middle stays open for spectating and hanging out between matches. Washrooms and water are just down the hall.
Food nearby
Bloor Street is a minute back up the road, and the Annex is just west of it. Bring something back if you like, though water is the only drink allowed once you're inside the hall.
Parking
Rotman Garage is a five-minute walk, about $10 flat on evenings and weekends.

Last call · draft1:30Sign up for the draftSign-up closes at 1:30 and you have to be in the room for it. Miss it and you can't play in the draft that day. There's no one table for it, so just be in the room. The casual side keeps running all afternoon either way, so it costs you the draft and nothing else.
There's an open desk in the middle of the room that isn't a setup: handhelds, sitting down, talking to someone, whatever you want it for, and a screen playing the stream so you can watch a match without crowding a setup. Washrooms and water are just down the hall, and food is fine in the room as long as you clean up after yourself. The venue only allows water as an outside drink.
