Twitch saves Nintendo’s Smash Bros. tournament with last-minute move to bigger venue

Streaming-video site Twitch just showed off its sweet recovery skills.

Nintendo of America and fighting-game organization Apex are holding one of the biggest Smash Bros. tournaments ever this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen. Players gathered in a hotel in Secaucus, N.J., to battle it out in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as well as Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube, but one of the attendees accidentally opened a fire exit. That drew the attention of the local fire marshal, who declared the event a safety hazard and closed it down. That’s when Twitch stepped in to save the day.
