Before their epic battle to rescue the Golden Squirrel Statue, the Squirrels have come together in a tournament of strength. A twitter-wide event that lasted from Oct 12th to 18th, it was a battle of the ages.

It was an interactive Twitter event that lasted from for 7 days.

The Squirrels got ready, the Twitter world made their bets with over 50 brackets being submitted… and just like that… The battle was on.

Who will take home the acorn cup? Nothing is certain… may the best squirrel win 🤝

The tournament started with an interested start. Dzjunf tripped and fell, ending the battle there and then. The battle was over before it really began.

This round also included a surprising turn of events, as the Flying Squirrels bested Neo. There was a lot of chaos in the air with this one.

And perhaps the most anticipated match-up of this round happened. It was an incredible fight, with many back and forths.

It was a near tie, but Princess Opal proved to be the victor in the end.

Another battle of this round took place at night. It was an easy win by Furnicus as he was able to use his were-powers to their fullest extent.

Round 2

Round 2 consisted of 4 different 3-Squirrel battle royales. In this round, alliances were formed, friendships were tested, and sacrifices were made 🫡.

The first clash had had Ipkiss emerge victorious. Both Caer and Lefick seemed a little distracted…

The battle between Furnicus, Chile, and Princess Opal was another epic battle. Opal narrowly won, but it did seem like Chile was holding back… Just look at his eyes.

Nuda was also able to win, gaining the respect of both Senpai and the Chaotic Flying Squirrels.

And Jeshk was in another nail-biter of a battle. Mina was defeated and watched on as she recovered.

Between Jeshk and Hnub, weapons clashed. But Jeshk’s second wind ultimately proved to be too much.

With just three battles left in the tournament, The Final Four was a round full of friendships and camaraderie welded in battle.

The Final Four

Both sides battled until the last minute, but for this one, Ipkiss narrowly won.

Jeshk was able to take home the victory against Nuda. But for him, it was more than just about the win. It was about earning another comrade on the battlefield.

And then just like that, we were in the finals. Who will take home the Acorn Cup?

The Squirrels gathered around in celebration. Mental fortitudes and battle instincts were definitely tested.

It was time to rest. To rest… at least until the Haunted Squirrel Carnival of next week.
