It didn't say in the article but why the hell are people sending threats? Knowing the types of gamers that send threats it's probably a really fucking dumb reason, isn't it?

I'm guessing some hyper-triggered gamer who saw there was a girl playing or something equally stupid

Apparently Nintendo doesn't let small esport competitions to take place. They want to be the only ones. But at the same time that's just as dumb a reason to send threats as what you said lol. There is never a good reason to send threats regardless

If they shut down other people’s events I don’t feel so bad that someone shut down theirs.
