Well, that is another Monthly Overview covered. Hope you enjoyed reading this one.
In case you’re unaware, our reporting has been slightly impacted across Crossing Corner and Splatoon Unofficial due to the Nitter cease and desists. I don’t have a Twitter account and don’t intend to have one, which means that the quality of stuff may be worse and more stuff may get missed. Thank you for all continuing to support the work here.
