Scorching Summer Skirmish

The **Scorching Summer Skirmish** (referred to as the **SSS** for short) was the first European *Ninjala* tournament hosted by GungHo Online Entertainment on August 14, 2021. It had 20 randomly chosen competitors battle in three rounds of Battle Royale matches. The event was streamed live from GungHo America's official Twitch and Ninjala's official YouTube channel, and featured commentary from GungHo ambassadors Starling, LoGicMoTion, and CAJman777.

### Overview

The Scorching Summer Skirmish was a fully online event focused on Battle Royale matches, with two matches per round with the exception of the finals, which had three matches. It was open to players aged 16 or older, though players younger than 18 needed parental permission to enter. 32 players would be randomly selected from all applicants, and split into four groups; however, the actual number by the tournament's start was 20.

### Format

The tournament started with four brackets, each with its own group. After the round was over, the total points from all matches would be added up, and every player who won an IPPON Master bonus would be awarded an additional 1000 points in each match. The top four players would move on to the next round.
