==Controversies==
More recently, for [[Apex 2015]], there were 2 major controversies. In one, Project M was no longer given an official slot. It is hypothesized that the reasoning behind this is that Project M is a fan game and there might be copyright issues. It is also hypothesized that there is official Nintendo sponsorship, but this might not be true.
For the other, DMBrandon/Diem was given a chance to do commentary for top 8 in melee. For the later, due to various comments on [[Reddit]], as well as Diem's own decision, he was instead replaced by [[Toph]].
