I didnt say he had to learn what they were teaching him. He could learn something else.

This is hypocritical coming from someone who often doesn't pay attention in class, but remember that somebody is paying for that education so it's best to get the most bang for your buck. Especially when college tuition rates are so ridiculous nowadays. I'm still salty about undergrad costing $50k a semester lol

 

[Empyrean]

Welp, it's looking like apex is done for the day.

 

[PlateProp]

Firemarshalls shut down the hotel

@Warchamp7 's plan couldn't have been executed any more masterfully

 

[Jaedrik]

I can't help but feel this. . .
This is temporal punishment for Alex Strife's wrongs. Perhaps others as well.
Regardless, this is most unfortunate. Also, screw regulation!

 

[Smooth Criminal]

"Temporal punishment?" Really?

[GP&B]

While there is some sort of karmic justice in all of this, I can't help but feel ridiculously sorry for everyone who spent money to fly out there. I'm seeing several CFL players on Facebook posting about it already.

 

[Jaedrik]

"Temporal punishment?" Really?

Smooth Criminal

Sure!
It's just a fancy way of saying karmic or cosmic justice, kinda, but still.
Okay well no. Temporal punishment usually has a clear causal link to the physical wrongdoing itself.
So I guess the other phrases would be more accurate unless some new info comes out.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I'm...well aware of what you meant, I just find the notion of (co)incidental stuff occurring to be some kinda punitive thing bull****.

But you're weird and hyper-intelligent, so.

[Gamegenie222]

Man everything from Karma to Mother Nature to fire marshals are bodying Apex right now. I hope they don't have to cancel the event.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Nah, bro, they seem pretty adamant about remedying the situation. You know how Smashers are. We'll run this **** outta somebody's garage if we have to.

Smooth Criminal

 

[warriorman222]

I WAS RIGHT!!!! Of course some last minute disasters happen. NEVER. CUT. PM. AGAIN.

 

[Empyrean]

MLG possibly to the rescue??? So many upsets today, and the tourney hasn't even started Kappa

 

[Gamegenie222]

Nah, bro, they seem pretty adamant about remedying the situation. You know how Smashers are. We'll run this **** outta somebody's garage if we have to.

Smooth Criminal

I hope so man. We'll do this old school run this joint outta basements and hotel rooms and what not.

 

[Jaedrik]

Aye. The Smash community has strong folks in it who aren't likely to give up.

[Comeback Kid]

They probably want to blame the hotel for this, but when you try and jam 1000s of people into a small space for the sheer novelty of being the biggest Smash event ever! and then have it blow up in your face, then you have to put the blame back where it belongs, with the organizers. They ain't getting any more Ninty money to screw up in the future.

 

[Crome]

this is karma for APEX cutting PM

 

[standardtoaster]

@ Comeback Kid this is entirely on the venue, not the staff. The venue owners KNEW it was unsafe to run the event after the parking garage had collapsed and yet still ran with it.

Managers at the Clarion hotel are getting gross amount of writeups from New Jersey cops for breaking x amount of laws. Ruh roh

[Comeback Kid]

So it's a structural integrity issue, yeah the hotel should have canceled it then if they were aware of the problem.

 

[TTTTTsd]

Yeah like, the amount of danger that could have imposed on the players. Jesus, could you imagine if anyone got hurt because of that? It's almost a blessing in disguise the alarm got pulled because this could've gone south in a much worse way throughout the weekend...

[Jolteon]

uh so I just woke up and saw what happened, holy ****. I've been following the scene since 2004 and this is the first time I've seen this happen at a major.

 

[MechWarriorNY]

...This is a blessing in disguise.
Probably would've gotten more than a few folks killed if things had gone as planned, and then the roof came down.

 

[Gamegenie222]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Here is the collapse garage at Apex 2015.

[MLGF]

...Am I **** for finding this whole thing sorta entertaining?

Melee players be mad
Sm4sh players be sad
Isai sure ain't glad
PM players don't think it's so bad...

But yeah, I feel bad for a lot of people. But I just find this being quite possibly the most ****ed up series of events that I can't help but laugh.

 

[TTTTTsd]

I'm laughing only cause of some of the twitter posts and ****. This is seriously ****ed up IMO, if that alarm wasn't yanked there could have actually been like, injured or even dead people.

That scares me.

[Empyrean]

Isai sure ain't glad.

Isai knew this was gonna happen so he didn't come to apex this year. I feel bad for the other 64 dudes tho, many of them woulda had a shot at 1st without Isai there.

 

[MLGF]

Isai with those mad reads.

 

[KayB]

This isn't the Apex staff's fault and all this bull**** about karma and everything is in pretty bad taste imo

$0.02

 

[Mariotehplumber]

I am going to watch Apex. Also, people insulting me with Rosalina please stop. I don't like waifu stuff. I got my reasons. I will report people insulting me.

Not having a waifu is the same thing, as not having a soul. Why even live ;_;7

ive been telling people i had bad vibes about apex this year for like the last three months. idk what it was either, maybe it just smelled too much like MLG

 

[Saxophoneoftime]

Oh ****, just heard about this Apex situation. What are they planning to do to continue the event?
