🇺🇸 [[united states|us]] Jackpot
A rising force in the western competitive Splatoon scene since its genesis, Jackpot has been on a meteoric ascent since its reformation following the Splatoon 3 North American Championship 2023, in which it competed under its old name Sayonara. It won the InkTV Resurgence League in May in dominating fashion, defeating its fellow Western giants Crush Soda, Starburst, and Alliance Rogue while losing only two games. Suddenly touted as the best of the West, it was also selected as one of four Western teams to qualify for the Splat World Championship. It would continue its dominant streak over Western competition by winning its first fourteen consecutive matches and 30 out of 31 games in the first qualifier event of the Splatoon 3 Championship 2023, North America's championship tournament. Even after losing to Starburst 3-2 and dropping down to the Losers Semifinal, Jackpot would defeat Duck Gang 3-1 and Last Resort to punch its ticket to the Splatoon 3 Championship 2023.

After qualifying, Jackpot remained very busy in the competitive scene, getting second in Splatamax #2 and third in Area Cup #2 and winning In The Zone 29, Mode Cup #3, Mode Cup: Clam Blitz Edition, and Golden Squid Junction. It also reached the Top 4 in the Summer 2023 edition of the Splat World Championship. The extra competitive participation paid off, as Jackpot would sweep Duck Gang 3-0 and defeat Crush Soda 4-2 to win the Splatoon 3 Championship 2023 to punch its ticket to Tokyo.
