Tournament:The Mango: Difference between revisions

Due to the fact that some players expressed disdain for the nature of the tournament and the commentary, I feel like it is necessary to discuss the controversies about the tournament.

The tournament featured a relaxed atmosphere seen as emblematic of the character of Mango: numerous players and commentators were drunk throughout the event, and many players chose to [[sandbagging|sandbag]], playing secondaries or not competing at a serious level. Many of those top players were notably upset in the tournament, with Mango falling at 17th while using Captain Falcon and Leffen taking 13th while using Marth and Mewtwo, among others. {{Sm|Kalamazhu}} pulled off a very impressive run, beating top players such as Mango, SFAT, and {{Sm|Syrox}} on his way to a 2nd place finish. The tournament also included a "Buster Bracket," as a reference to one of Mango's nicknames.

However, the carefree ambiance and vulgar commentary were the center of minor controversy, as the commentary was within earshot of players, which proved to be a distraction to their performance.<ref>https://twitter.com/HugS86/status/975578666015969282</ref> The tournament also included a "Buster Bracket," as a reference to one of Mango's nicknames.
