After losing his Losers Finals set against {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Leffen}} went up to commentary to argue at length that the rules did not do enough against [[stalling]] and claimed that Hungrybox had largely won by abusing the ruleset.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/yc0eyf/hungrybox_listens_to_leffen_complain_about_the/|title="Leffen's ruleset complaints immediately after Losers Finals"}}</ref> This was largely met with disapproval from both the commentators and social media, as Leffen's complaints were brought forth immediately after losing to Hungrybox for the first time offline since {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, after a final game where both players played rather defensively. Leffen was also accused of hypocrisy as he has also abused rulesets in the past and only points out these weaknesses when it benefits his opponents. Hungrybox addressed the situation later in the tournament by saying he won the match within the rules and everyone needs to simply move on. Leffen apologized for his comments afterwards on Twitter. | |||
Many spectators during and after the tournament took to social media to express their criticisms of the commentators and their behavior. The main complaint was that they were not taking the event seriously and acted unprofessional in what should be a prestigious event. This reignited the classic debate over whether commentary is necessary for a ''Smash'' tournament. Several of the commentators later responded to these comments. {{Sm|Coney}} and {{Sm|TKbreezy}} both made videos on the subject and claimed that they will commentate the way they want to and that everyone is overreacting about the events of a single tournament.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kzgVClTt9g&t Coney's response to the criticism]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4epHurqZ_cA TKbreezy's response to the criticisms]</ref> | |||
