+Following the conclusion of the first tournament's first day, {{Sm|HugS}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/HugS86/status/1449553308734132224|title=HugS's statement}}</ref> and {{Sm|The Crimson Blur}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/OXY_Crimson/status/1449521389363351559|title=The Crimson Blur's statement}}</ref> noted their disappointment towards the casters for taking up the casting position for the tournament; the disappointment stemmed from [[Nintendo]]'s lack of support for the scene and the shutdown of tournaments such as [[Cancellation of The Big House Online|The Big House Online]]. Their comments caused controversy, with players picking at HugS's statement that compared the situation to "crossing the picket line," as well as The Crimson Blur's alleged hypocrisy. Several users, including one of the casters, {{Sm|VikkiKitty}}, also defended the casters' decision, claiming that they were only doing their jobs as freelancers, and that they shouldn't be prevented from doing so simply because the community was unhappy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/VikkiKitty/status/1449567858518896644|title=VikkiKitty's statements}}</ref>
