Tourney Locator Moves Project M Content To New Stream

[KhanYe]

Today, it was announced that the major Super Smash Bros. streamer, Tourney Locator is no longer streaming Project M. They have announced that they will be shifting all of their Project M streams to a new channel called “Project M Central”, where they hope to centralize efforts to put out Project M content on a regular basis.

Tourney Locator is not the only organization to have dropped support for the ever-popular mod recently. Premiere Smash stream VGBootCamp controversially stopped streaming Project M about two months ago, and a plethora of major tournament series including APEX dropped support for Project M as well. This announcement comes as a relative surprise, seeing as Tourney Locator recently streamed a Project M major called “Aftershock” less than two weeks prior to this announcement, garnering thousands of viewers.

Project M Central hopes to serve as a hub for high-quality Project M content, including the Infinity and Beyond Project M local that was previously streamed by Tourney Locator. They have also said that they plan on hosting any major Project M events on their channel by hosting other Project M streams. Currently, it is not clear if the Infinity and Beyond locals will be streamed by the same people who streamed the tournaments on Tourney Locator. The first Infinity and Beyond to be streamed on Project M Central will take place tonight at 9 PM EST.

Follow Project M Central on Twitch at twitch.tv/projectmcentral!

KhanYe is optimistic. Follow him on Twitter @aymangolassi to chitchat!

First, I was shocked and sad. Now, I'm hopeful.

I really don't get why they have to move the PM content to a different channel. Don't they just make it more complicated for themselves to have multiple channels? Also, Aftershock should have been a good reminder of how many viewers PM gets, so it doesn't make any sense to just move their PM content over to somewhere else.

 

[Sonsa]

Oh good! A channel just for Project M! PM is a big labor of love with obviously a lot of effort and great results, but it should be understood that because it is a mod...there can be lots of muddy legal issues. A channel just for PM sounds like a great idea and I'm hopeful to see more hype.

 

[WispBae]

Don't scare us like that with such a sensational title. D=

 

[Pancake Jake]

i can see what TL and Vgbc think they are avoiding but i don think nintendo will ever shut down pm or the people who stream it.

 

[Nevergreen]

I'll be tuning in tonight, I hope the quality is comparable to the main TLoc channel.

I'm seriously considering dropping my TLoc subscription though and just find a way to donate directly to them.

Don't want to support Twitch for this **** they're pulling on PM Streamers.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Here is hoping everyone reads the whole article and not just the title.

 

[TimeSmash]

Jesus the title scared me

 

[S2rulL]

so long, farewell, auf widersehen, goodbye!

 

[Xavix]

*reads the title* WHAT NO WHY I WANT TO SEE PM DON'T DO THIS
*reads article* I acutally like where they are going with this, that scared me for a minute!

 

[Banjodorf]

Overly sensational title is overly sensational. But I suppose "Tourney Locator making centralized channel for Project M content" doesn't have as much zing or something.

 

[Sgt-Sol]

i hope they know that april fools is over, that title scared me

 

[KhanYe]

my clickbait game is so on point yesssssss

 

[Octavium]

Got scared for a second

 

[Hellrazor]

I was about to be very, very upset. Now I'm okay.

 

[Lizalfos]

This is still a overall bad thing IMO, as there are zero confirmed collaborating streams and we don't know why they are doing this (were they pressed into cutting one of their largest sources of views from their stream?).
@ KhanYe can you try to interview Tloc on their reasoning and the benefits of this, because I only see negative effects and it sure is fishy.

I second this, I really don't see any sort of benefits, so an interview would be a good idea.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

That bait title.

Still pretty nifty overall.

 

[TheHypnotoad]

That title is so misleading. They aren't going to stop streaming PM, they're just going to move it to a new channel dedicated solely to PM.

Competitive smash will die in the next 5 years, unless by some miraculous chance something will save it, melee is only so deep, and smash 4's problem isn't that it's unbalanced or slow, it's that smash 4 is about as deep as a paddling pool, it's players keep crying for patches and can't even decide on a consistent rule-set. With project M seemingly on death row due to Nintendo killing it off, I seriously fear for the future of smash...

What does this have to do with anything the article is about?

I dunno, It's Project M doesn't seem to be doing to well as of late, I just thought I might share something that's been brewing for a while, that's all. No harm in that right?

I'll see what I can do.

 

[Space Stranger]

At least the click-bait tactic is proving effective.

 

[Lizalfos]

<3 you da real mvp

splitting infinitives is unacceptable

lost 2 iq points reading this title

 

[dude it's raining]

I dunno about the progress of vbootcamp's reuploading their old pm vids, but maybe they could put them on tloc's pm site?

It isn't a website sadly. Just a stream.
I wish that this was MIOM for pm.

There is of it really isn't related to the article.

Article about a new stream just for project M.

Talks about how smash 4 sucks and smash will die.

I don't see the connection and see it as more harm than good in this case.

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

I don't get it, why move Project M? Yet, I am still happy, but why?

Are you baiting? It's hard to tell.

Don't fall for the bait. I have the feeling the trollbait will only turn this into a debate, or at least attempt to.

 

[Balgorxz]

PM on different channels is a good idea, no legal problems and PMfans can their own individual focus.

This is a negative thing for PM.
He is putting all his stock for Smash's competitive future in PM, therefore if PM keeps getting held down it will destroy comp Smash's future.
Ryu pls.

Classic mod baits into instant ban punish.
PMDT remove jank pls.

It would be worse for PM but not so much for the others, if this even is a bad thing.

But still I confused what the main issue is, it seems like he is just moving his content to a PM only channel unless there is something I missed.

 

[Narpas_sword]

Well.

****.

That clickbait

Smash is in the spotlight now but I don't think we are guaranteed more than 5 yrs more in the limelight. I can see where he is coming from.

Moving PM off Tloc is the bad thing. It would be like if Smashboards said they were moving PM forums to PMboards in order to "centralize" content (isolate from exposure).

Do we know for sure why they are doing this? And if it will be a bad decision?

Because I have no stance either way and don't want to jump to a conclusion.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Lolyep.

I wonder how many people are going to move to watching that channel.
