===EVO 2015 Controversy===
==Controversy==
[[VGBootCamp]] president [[Smasher:GimR|GimR]] released a statement detailing that the "YP" tag would not be present in player Bizzarro Flame's tag due to VGBootCamp's desire to refrain from including potentially suggestive and inappropriate content associated with the adult media site in the wake of younger viewers. This sparked a backlash by members of the community who believe that the letters "YP" are too vague to be identifiable by viewers who are unfamiliar with the team as well as the fact that Team YP is a legitimate sponsor and is being stiffed from receiving their end of the sponsorship deal by not being given ample publicity despite financing Bizzarro Flame.
[[VGBootCamp]] president [[Smasher:GimR|GimR]] released a statement that stated Bizarro Flame's tag would not include "Team YP" at the Salty Suite of [[EVO 2015]], as VGBootCamp felt that the sexual nature of the Team YP tag would be inappropriate in their stream that could be viewed by younger audiences. VGBootCamp came under criticism for the statement, as many players felt "Team YP" did not immediately imply sexual content, and preventing all viewers from knowing Bizzarro Flame's sponsor would be unfair to the company, as they had financed him. Furthermore, Team YP was considered a legitimate sponsor, no different from other sponsors, creating an unfair double standard. While Bizzaro Flame took part in the main tournament using his full tag, he refused to take part in a long-awaited [[money match]] between himself and rival Ganondorf player {{Sm|Kage}} as long as he was not allowed to use his full tag in it. After [[CLASH Tournaments]], a rival streaming group, stated they would try streaming the match instead, VGBootCamp relented and allowed Bizarro Flame to include "Team YP" in his tag on their Salty Suite stream.
 
In response, Bizzarro Flame refused to take part in the long-waited money match between himself and rival {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} player [[Smasher:Kage|Kage]] on stream. To further add to the split in fans, VGBootCamp rival [[CLASH Tournaments]] stated that they would be content with streaming the match on their own channel. In the end, VGBootCamp streamed the Salty Suite.
 
The situation between [[Smasher:GimR|GimR]] and [[Smasher:Bizzarro Flame|Bizzarro Flame]] concluded with the Salty Suite being streamed on [[VGBootCamp]]'s Twitch channel with Team YP being represented. The match can be found on YouTube.

Team YP is the eSports branch of pornography site YouPorn, with teams in Dota 2 and Super Smash Bros. The team expanded into Melee when they picked up Melee Ganondorf player Bizzarro Flame on June 8, 2015, and they later expanded into Smash 4 by signing Captain Falcon player Fatailty on June 17, 2017.

Controversy

VGBootCamp president GimR released a statement that stated Bizarro Flame's tag would not include "Team YP" at the Salty Suite of EVO 2015, as VGBootCamp felt that the sexual nature of the Team YP tag would be inappropriate in their stream that could be viewed by younger audiences. VGBootCamp came under criticism for the statement, as many players felt "Team YP" did not immediately imply sexual content, and preventing all viewers from knowing Bizzarro Flame's sponsor would be unfair to the company, as they had financed him. Furthermore, Team YP was considered a legitimate sponsor, no different from other sponsors, creating an unfair double standard. While Bizzaro Flame took part in the main tournament using his full tag, he refused to take part in a long-awaited money match between himself and rival Ganondorf player Kage as long as he was not allowed to use his full tag in it. After CLASH Tournaments, a rival streaming group, stated they would try streaming the match instead, VGBootCamp relented and allowed Bizarro Flame to include "Team YP" in his tag on their Salty Suite stream.
