@CLASHTournament
Fire marshalls just closed the Splatoon room and said the entire event is going to be canceled. Is this actually happening?

As sad as this is, it's the right thing to do if the place isn't safe, you take zero risk in such situations. Hopefully MLG can somehow help.

Hope this isnt happening, but if they did close down the splatoon room, I hope nintendo gets involved.

 

[K.Sabot]

To think this would of all been avoided if the fire alarm didn't go off. On the other hand, the structure doesn't sound safe at all, so it's probably for the best.

Yes, better this temporary tragedy than a more... permanent one.

 

[J@hranimo]

In between classes and read up on all of this.

This is tragic. An absolute disaster to the Apex name. I hope something gets figured out asap.

 

[Arkanius]

Absolute disaster to the APEX name?
They can't control the weather

 

[Revven]

This venue is honestly worse than the last two years. Apex had the TOing foundation taken care of but not the venue.

Official word from @apex_series is everything is on hold until further notice. Cross fingers for main ballroom access tomorrow to run this.

https://twitter.com/CEOJebailey/status/561191152607850496

I doubt the ballroom will be usable tomorrow... it's sounding like the opposite from other sources like ClashTournaments.

This is so devastating...

But they got 5 Gods there...

Possibility of tournament being ran in hotel rooms is rising atm.

WE JUST GOT ASKED IF WE COULD RUN A POOL IN OUR ROOM! HELL YEAH! #Apex2015

[SUPERJEM94]

I think spooky's stream just went offline

 

[J@hranimo]

Still a blow regardless. I think Apex should be at a new permanent location

Spoiler

outside of fucking New Jersey

 

[K.Sabot]

Aw yiss, let's go back to the Planet Zero days of running pools in hotel bathrooms.

 

[StrikerObi]

Blessing in disguise. What if the building collapsed and they all died? Guy who pulled the fire alarm may have saved everyone's life.

This could work out pretty well for pools, if they can find a way to contact everyone from a given pool. Hopefully most people are still gathered somewhere.

 

[J@hranimo]

Guy who pulled the fire alarm is Shulk.

Aren't most of everyones setups locked up in the ballrooms though?

There's a good chuck of the roof that's already caved in. That building was not safe, period.

He was really feeling it...

 

[ec0ec0]

NNTENDO!! spend some money and save everyone please...

 

[Micken]

Man, this is disgusting... Hope this gets sorted out.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Are they taking a break? It looks like all the streams are offline.

 

[Kiro]

Has there been any comments from NOA?

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

This whole event is seriously blowing my mind. It's like a mix between EVO and E3.

I'd like to retract my previous statement.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Has there been any comments from NOA?

nothing so far

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Safety is the number one priority but I hope they are still able to put on the event

 

[ffdgh]

Flawless.

Oh yeah, that's true...

 

[TruSpindash]

What a huge shame. Really hope a solution gets worked out. Feel super bad for the people who traveled across the world to be there.

Room next to @ShippoFoxFire's at #Apex2015. Look at the roof.

I dunno.. https://twitter.com/Saikyo_Husky/status/561191998796083201

 

[Spuck-uk]

#Apex2015 is trending on Twitter, though probably not for the reasons people would have wanted

 

[Ultra Numb]

It looks like the team is going into peoples rooms and asking them if they can support pools.

sheeeiiiittt, that doesn't look safe at all

 

[Ultra Numb]

I hope they can put together some Super Salty Suite event if the tournament doesn't actually go ahead.

Jebailey says...

To anyone in attendance at #Apex2015. Please be patient and feel for the staff. They're doing everything they can to salvage the weekend.

Even that looks unsafe. What's up with that hotel?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Maybe it's 20XX; RPS the whole tournament.

 

[TWILT]

Damn, this whole situation is just so unfortunate...:/

 

[Hyun Sai]

I dunno. Cancelling the event is disastrous for sure.

Room collapsing after they attempt to salvage the tournament in the same hotel is asking for some SERIOUS legal trouble.

 

[Edag Plata]

Anyone wanna come over to my place in Jersey to play Melee? I could probably fit about 20 people in.

 

[Revven]

Jebailey believes securing a new venue is not gonna work.

Switching venues this late in the game imo won't work. Best is to hope for main ballroom access tomorrow and run though tournaments.

but they have NINTENDO!! right?? ;_;

someone save us

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

What.. shit canceled? NOOOO!

I should've stayed up earlier last night to catch the practice sessions.

 

[InsaneZero]

but they have NINTENDO!! right?? ;_;

Even with Nintendo, setting up a new venue on such short notice is practically impossible.

It's a total logistical nightmare.

 

[Nanashrew]

but they have NINTENDO!! right?? ;_;

I bet Nintendo is doing what they can, I just know they're contacting lawyers right now because they had a good stake in this sponsorship and the venue lied to everyone's faces.

I genuinely want to cry and I'm not even attending the event.
