The event came under controversy during the grand finals | The event came under controversy during the grand finals set of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' event between {{Sm|Lima}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}}. Both players didn't seem to take the set seriously, as evidenced by both players' seemingly lack of staidness throughout the set and by Lima granting CaptainZack a ''homie [[stock]]''. Additionally, during game 6 of the set, both players held [[Bullet Charge]] in place for nearly two minutes, which caused [[tournament organizer]] {{Sm|Bear}} to come on stage and issue both players a [https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1025978601055776768 yellow card]. Many top players asserted that this set tarnished the competitive integrity of the event.<ref>https://twitter.com/DabuzSenpai/status/1025978214978445312</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/MVG_Mew2King/status/1025980476807294977</ref> CaptainZack apologized after the match for his "disrespectful showing", but stated that he was "truly trying his best" throughout the set. <ref>https://twitter.com/CaptainZack_/status/1025996248380203008</ref> Lima also apologized for giving a ''homie stock'' to CaptainZack, saying that he did it because he was playing one of his best friends and didn't want the match to end with a [[self-destruct]]. Moreover, he explained that it wasn't his intention to "make grand finals look like collusion or childish", but that he simply "play[s] better when [he] plays to have fun".<ref>https://twitter.com/LimaBayo/status/1026004629786517504</ref> | ||
