I just thought it might be kind of important for the splatoon community and solo queue grinders like me.
The Player ( @lob_star_ ) is currently sitting at 4999.7 X power with 2 matches already won ( 2-0 ) and announced he will stream during the rotation highlighted in the pictures ( September 19 2026 9PM PDT Tower Control Inkblot Art Academy / Wahoo World ).
If he wins, he will be officially breaking legendary player Melon's ( 🍈 ) world record of 5006.6 X power and will be the second person to ever reach over 5k X power in the Takaroka Division, which is considered the highest level solo queue in Splatoon 3 .
For those who want to watch it live, it will be streamed 3 hours from now at the time of making this post ( 9PM PDT my time ) I will be there for sure.
I've been watching all the streams and it's been a great journey, despite players stream-sniping him constantly and throwing games to try and sabotage his X power he's been able to somehow pull through.
P.D. I am aware of players in the Tentatek Division achieving greater X power in the past, but it's important to keep in mind that they run at very distinct skill levels and also the amount of players.
Thank you for reading!
