- Finally had a lawyer look at the NDA I signed with Panda and apparently it only applies to "parcel(s) of real estate" ?? LMAO Maybe a bad copy paste? Or used a template and didn't change it? It's not just mine that's messed up either. If you signed one, double check it lolthis should go without saying but pls don't pressure anyone to speak out if they are under NDA I did so after determining what I was sharing was learned independent of my conversation with Alan and that anything I shared didn't fall under the NDA not everyone has that luxury
I dont want to sound too grumpy here but one thing I keep thinking about that really disappointed me at summit was really the lack of grinding from a lot of players. A lot of the time set ups were empty and more people watched than actually played- dont blame yourselves smash community always been terrible at spotting mafia

- Netflix announces new American esports documentary "Mango vs Hbox" set to release in 2024
- I personally won't ever watch, support, or attend a panda organized or broadcasted event ever again. No disrespect to the players or employees that work there, I know it's not your fault.The upcoming Smash World Tour Championships and the entirety of the 2023 Smash World Tour must be cancelled.
