The controllers given to Yeah Nah, winners of the 2018 AUNZ Splatoon 2 Cup, have "AUNZ SPLATOON 2 CUP CHAMPION 21.4.2018" printed on the top of the controller in gold, and came with a display case.[1] The controllers given to Alliance Rogue, winners of the Splatoon 2 European Championship 2018-2019 have "2018-2019 CHAMPION" plus the tournament logo.[2] It is unknown if there is anything printed on the top of the versions given to FTWin, winners of the Splatoon 2 North America Inkling Open 2019, but they came in a special box.[3] The same goes for the controllers given to Lime Soda, winners of the Splatoon 2 Australasian Open 2019, which came in the same display case as the 2018 winners' controllers.[4]
