Nintendo cancels Splatoon 2 North American Open tournament live stream, possibly due to #FreeMelee movement
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Splatoon 2 North American Open December 2020 is taking place this weekend. Originally, Nintendo intended to host an official live stream for the finals, which are set to take place tomorrow. That will no longer be happening.
The situation seems to be a continuation of what transpired last month with Super Smash Bros. Melee. The Big House, a prominent tournament, was forced to scrap its online event following a cease desist from Nintendo. The company said the tournament would have required “use of illegally copied versions of the game” and a mod known as “Slippi”.
