The incidents stained Alex Strife's reputation within the community, and he hasn't been involved with Smash in any sort of capacity since. The Alex Strife controversy, alongside all the venue and procedure problems with Apex 2015 that happened on top of years of criticism at how Apex was ran, also heavily damaged the reputation of the Apex series; this resulted in [[Apex 2016]] seeing a massive drop in attendance, both quantity and player quality wise, for all games and most particularly ''Melee'', bringing Apex down to being a stacked regional at best and losing its status as the most prestigious Smash tournament series. | ||
