The independently run Smash World Tour by the VGBootCamp was under dark clouds when there were rumors that Nintendo is partnering up with Panda Global. According to the talks Nintendo was planning to launch the first officially licensed tournament for Super Smash Bros. with this partnership.  

The concerns were validated as the rumors became true. When the Smash Tour by VGBootCamp was heading to its finals, Nintendo sent what could simply be seen as a cease and desist against the tournament, which will shut the whole project down. According to the VGBC team, this notice came out of the blue. 

The Smash World Tour team shared that Nintendo sent this notice the night before Thanksgiving last week. Nintendo was simply saying to the VGBC team that they can no longer continue the tournament. This was completely shocking for the staff involved with the project, as this statement doesn’t match the prior conversations they had with the gaming company.
