Panda responds to Smash World Tour allegations, community calls out lack of substance

Esports org and tournament organizer Panda has officially responded to all of the drama surrounding its handling of Panda Cup, Nintendo’s involvement, and the cancelation of the Smash World Tour with a statement today that echoes existing comments and doesn’t actually address any of the more serious concerns. 

The statement starts with Panda essentially talking about how hard the team behind the Panda Cup has worked to create “an exciting, welcoming environment” for the Super Smash Bros. community—something that no one was really questioning—rather than actually hitting an important point. From there, as the community has already pointed out, the substance of the actual letter serves as a way to brush aside concerns without answering anything.
