Update: <\/strong>Alan Bunney has now released his first public statement since the Smash World Tour accusations were made, which you can find in the story below.\n <\/p>\n
Panda Global has been facing a lot of controversy as of late due to the alleged actions of its CEO, Dr. Alan Bunney, who reportedly been threatened to shut down tournaments and their organizers over the past year with multiple corroborations. After the first statement released by Panda was not well received by the Super Smash Bros. community, over 80% of the sponsored fighting game division has apparently since resigned.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, Panda Global released a new statement indicating that Dr. Alan Bunney is longer the CEO of Panda Global. Additionally, they announced the Panda Cup 2022 Finale is being postponed due to security concerns.<\/p>\n
The Panda Cup Finale was originally scheduled to take place from December 15, 2022 and last until December 17, 2022. The Panda Cup circuit was officially sponsored by Nintendo and was the first one to ever score a license for a competitive tour.<\/p>\n
Panda Global officially launched with Dr. Alan Bunney as co-founder and CEO back in 2015. As of right now, it’s unknown how involved with Panda Global Dr. Alan Bunney will be aside from his removal as the CEO.<\/p>\n
In previous statements made by the Smash World Tour team, it’s been indicated that Nintendo canceled that Smash World Tour 2022 Championship and the Smash World Tour 2023 circuit. However, Nintendo released two statements that conflicted with what was said by the Smash World Tour team by stating that they only weren’t issuing the 2022 championship and 2023 circuit licenses, and claimed that the decision to cancel was a decision that was and still is the Smash World Tour team’s.<\/p>\n

Seemingly in response to these events, Ludwig recently announced the “The Scuffed World Tour” to take place on December 18, 2022. It likely wasn’t a coincidence that it was scheduled for the original finals day of Panda Cup 2022.<\/p>\n
Alan Bunney has now made his first public comment since the Smash World Tour open letter was on November 29, where he posted claims he has evidence the SWT organizers lied and Beyond the Summit leadership “put the community in jeopardy.”<\/p>\n
“I’ve stepped down as CEO of Panda to protect the safety and wellbeing of the team,” wrote Bunney on Twitter. “My statement (with evidence) is coming.”<\/p>\n
