Schreier picked up on it; situation reiterated on Kotaku. http://kotaku.com/major-smash-tournament-on-hold-after-hotel-violates-saf-1682787467

And Kotaku has been called

For any of those people who still thought Smash wasn't a fighting game/the community wasn't part of the FGC, it is more

This sounds like a fucking disaster. I really feel for the competitors and staff.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

they're not going to do single elim/reduced stock for the biggest smash tournament of all time unless it's absolutely necessary.

They just lost a day.

Everyone else is on their phones. This one guy is in the centre all like:

"Damn. I left my Wii U on at home. I hope it doesn't overheat."

[RS4-]

I was going to shit on the organizers for not doing their homework, but it's be uncalled for. Forgot about the storm and whatnot. I hope things pan out

this is the funniest chat I've seen in a very long time. lol when prog came in to update and they had to sub mode it

They just lost a day.

with everything cancelled besides smash 4 and melee singles, they can get this done in two days with the amount of set ups they have. I'm confident in that. Melee especially... it's a fast game. single elim/reduced stock isn't necessary yet, that's more of a last resort.

it would save a lot of time if people could get their pools done in their hotel rooms right now. the hardest part right now is finding an actual venue.

This is... What the hell did I wake up to? How the hell does this even happen?

Nah dude, he's a PhD physicist. He's probably doing some hard mental calculations on structural integrity.

Man was arrogant enough to believe he could control the weather.

Thor was all like "lol"

For the record prior to this weekend I've made it known to @apex_series staff that I'd like to be a part of the team for future events.

https://twitter.com/CEOJebailey/status/561217662135459840

It would be a good thing to have Jebailey part of the staff in the future for sure.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I don't know what's potentially worse, losing out on the actual main stage stuff or losing out on the Salty Suite of the fucking forever at this rate. I needed that double Ganon and Pc Chris v Ken exhibition.

Jebailey is a fantastic tournament organizer, good on him. Him teaming up with Apex would only lead to good things
