, Jason Waterfalls, Luck, @Seagull Joe, Hylian, Chu Dat, Boss, Kiraflax, Bleachigo, K9, JZ, Junebug, Emukiller, @POOB, Metroid, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. The little itty bitty tip. And the news of PM's absence was awful for me. And the way that the staff handled it made me feel worse.
I agree with the sentiment, but with nintendo being a sponsor of apex, it's really clear why they can't have PM. If nintendo acknowledged that PM existed, they'd by legally obligated to sue. (or at least that's what I'm heard from many others here.) I think it would have been better to keep PM and not have nintendo as a sponsor, no matter how much hype is brings in. But then again, money is a thing, so...This is going off on Apex as a whole.
First off, I don't hate Diem commentary, but I certainly don't love it either, and to be perfectly honest both Diem and D1 both fit the same roles in commentary. Both are play-by-play commentators, it isn't necessary to have both. More importantly, I just don't want Diem to become part of the face of smash. His mentality is disturbing and the way he treats others is even worse.
Honestly by this point, I'm becoming more and more disturbed at what Apex is starting to become. More and more there are indications that certain decisions that Alex Strife is making is more for the stream viewers and the mass as a whole rather than for the players and the smash community. It was apparent way back in Apex 2012, where certain players vocally didn't want to take part in the USA vs World crew battle but were forced to do so anyway. I think the more obvious example though is the Isai vs Captain Jack exhibition match which was established without Isai's consent in the first place. To add insult to injury, the tournament itself wasn't very well run with the tournament running until 1 AM in the morning at times.
Apex 2015 is turning out to be even less of an experience. PM was excluded, and the community was left to predict what the reason was for its absence. Of course most people knew it was Nintendo since they were sponsoring Apex, but what honestly pissed me off more than anything else was how coy Alex was being. Excluding PM was bad, but I understood the trade that Alex was trying to make. What he should have done was be more straightforward with it instead of leaving the community to speculate. The fans wanted PM to be there, and Apex 2014 was proof of that. If Alex was going to exclude PM, at the very least he should've told the community why it wouldn't be there, but he didn't even do that. Seeing as the Brawl tournament is having sub-100 entrants so far is even more distressing. As both an international player and as a guy who runs the Top Players by Character, I was incredibly upset that PM wouldn't at Apex. Not just because of myself, but for the hundreds of players who didn't get their time to shine in 3.0 at the grand stage. @Lunchables, Wizzrobe, Nazo, @
And now, now we get Diem as a commentary for top 8 when we have quite literally a myriad of amazing commentators that can fill the gap that prog made. At this point, it's obvious that the reason the Apex staff chose Diem is the fact that he has a more well-known face among the general public. Apex is slowly becoming less for the community, and I hate what this bodes for the future.

Today, I get reminded of the difference between the Smash community, and the melee community. It's really upsetting.

Because if we showed off commentators from the smash community, people might notice how we have developed our own thing that other people should like rather than having people like a thing because outside people are starting to take intre$t.
Well, I'm not actually 42 or whatever my profile says I am. Sorry, bruh
A Smite commentator who used to play smash back in the brawl days seriously.
LOL Damn and that's not the best start of getting that foot in the door even though I know what he was trying to get at.
Wait, smite???
I cant tell who this is a jab towards. I'm not caught up on this drama fully but it doesnt seem like any player wants him there at this point
content of the tweet is actually very accurate but yeah prob not reacting to the situation well
Yeah, the smash community on miiverse isn't nearly as good as the group of people who I play Melee with. Kappa
