Apex 2016 was the seventh edition of the Apex series, which took place on June 17th-19th, 2016.[1] This was the first Apex event under the new management of the Bifuteki crew, following Alex Strife's removal from the team in 2015.
Presumably due to controversies surrounding the tournament series starting with Apex 2015, Apex 2016 featured a precipitous fall in attendence compared to its predecessor, which had featured among the largest Smash 64, Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4 tournaments in history; it might also have suffered from Low Tier City 4, DreamHack Summer 2016, and Snosa II being scheduled on the same weekend. Melee notably went from having 1,037 entrants to having only 159 entrants, Smash 4 fell from 837 entrants to 309 entrants, Smash 64 fell from 188 entrants to 55 entrants, and the Brawl event was completely cancelled. The poor attendence extended to games outside of Smash that were previously hosted at the event, with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Killer Instinct having their tournaments cancelled; furthermore, an intended new game for the tournament, Mortal Kombat X, also had its event cancelled.
