Panda, the eSports organisation at the centre of a high-profile row between Super Smash Bros. fans and Nintendo, has ditched its controversial CEO following complaints about his behaviour.
In a statement issued this morning via Twitter, Panda confirmed it had "heard the concerns of the Smash community" and booted out its boss Alan Bunney. The company will now work with "outside advisors to form a temporary interim management committee" as players quit the company's events in their dozens.
It follows a week of bad press for Bunney and his company, as it emerged Nintendo was shutting down a fan-run Smash Bros. tournament and continuing to partner with Panda.
