Yeah, I would say I'm somewhere between a 50 and 60% win rate, so there's still hope.

Man, all these Level 15 Guys wandering around and i'm Level 27, not playing for like 6 Months...
6 Matches so far...4 of them I have won for Blue Team.
Didn't expect to be coming first on my team with the L3 Nozzlenose, but these Young'uns need me to put the team on my back, yo!

Things seem to have turned in Blue's favor for now; got up to hawt 19.5 by the time I hit queen.
I use splatfests to learn new weapons, and may I humbly say that I wrecked faces today with the slosher deco. I shocked myself at the degree to which no cover was safe from my volleys. Its range is solid. And the 19 points in swim speed and special charge up I use for my tri-slosher was quite applicable to the kraken.
But I still don't understand how to utilize the splash wall in this kit. If I want to block a passage, cascades of ink are just as intimidating, more likely to kill, and cost less ink. Merely standing behind it feels foolish. I can't even use it as a defense after exiting kraken form, as there's a considerable lag before I can toss the wall. I mostly tried to use it to protect teammates, but it's no bubbler. It is interesting how much farther the wall travels when you throw it from a height. I guess there will be more applications for the wall in ranked, but I'm open to splash wall tips.

So i JUST figured out how to mingle Gyro with stick and....somehow i do BETTER now 
My kill count went up, except for the times where i still forget using the Gyro.
Also: Can it be that with this setup you can actually control left and right with stick but NOT up and down (except with the Gyro?)

Yeah, blue is doing work from what I've seen. I'm on red and levels wise the teams have always been stronger in blue's favor and I feel like we've lost a lot more than we've won.

Team Red Europe here. Struggling to find Blue Teams to go against. This won't end well for us...

Made it to pokemon Red royalty
Quite a struggle. Started with bad teams and disconnects but eventually found a team I kept till champion.
After that another struggle to find a decent team to reach royalty.
Pokemon Red is more popular but Blue seems to have better players.
Guess Marie has a good chance for wins here.
Got lucky with the new ending times here though. Would not have made it otherwise

Is King/Queen the highest rank you can get? Anything special when you max that out? I'm still Champion

Team red Carbon Roller here.
Wish I could help you out.
The higher the rank. The more snails you get

I know, but is King or Queen the highest you CAN go? No Rank past that? And can you max that out for an additional bonus or once you reach King it's done?

Hey guys, what side should I pick?
I've never liked Pokemon so I have absolutely no stake in the actual choices.

Bought blue, but red looks good too. Wish the pokemon silhouette was there too. Maybe overlayed in white with the black squid silhouette.

King/Queen are highest, yes. Once you hit that, you're done. Unless you want to stick around to try to help your team, of course.

Had a rough start on both days of Splatfest; today was a particularly rough few games; but in the end, managed to get an excellent win streak going. Zink Mini is just too strong in Splatfest. D:
Even if Team Blue loses in PAL, I'm satisfied with my contribution.

Because it was already enough of a Bloodbath with how useless Red Team is.
Pretty much.

Wow.
I would like them more if I don't get disconnected from the servers, let alone for how unstable they are. If anything, the event should be re-dub as "Lagfests."
Yeah, I've been having a lot of lag as well.
