Over the past few weeks, qualifiers have been held for the Nintendo World Championships 2017 leading up to the big tournament next month. Various events have been held in partnership with Best Buy to determine who would be making it to the finals.
Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma is approaching, and it may have a huge impact on the Miami area. Due to this, Nintendo has postponed the full weekend of events originally planned for September 9 and September 10. It’s unclear if and when a makeup event will take place.
Nintendo’s full statement reads:
“Due to the serious threat posed by Hurricane Irma, Nintendo and Best Buy are postponing the Sept. 9-10 Miami qualifying round for the Nintendo World Championships 2017. We will continue to monitor the situation in Florida to determine whether a makeup event will be scheduled.”
