What do you guys think about SSB Melee being dropped from EVO? I personally think that there was no need to... It was like the most important melee tournament. :(

The only theory that I have is that Nintendo didn't like having melee in evo, (for example- evo 2013 when they tried to shut down the event) and with Doug Bowser as the new president, they may have finally made efforts to take out melee from evo.

I think this is viable in addition to the possibility that EVO is just selling out. Like Samurai Showdown? Omega the **** Lul? Nintendo is definitely not paying EVO to advertise melee for them, so it might just not be profitable in comparison to a big pay day to include some turd game.
