Apex update. One of the ballrooms had a part of it collapse during the storm, fire marshals are here possibly not deeming it safe. — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015 Speaking with the Fire Marshals. Official word is the wiiu room is closed because of faulty support. Melee room is closed to be inspected. — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015 Smash WiiU room is officially closed for the weekend which also includes FGC fighters. Melee room is closed as well today for inspection... — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015 After inspection Melee ballroom could possibly open up again tomorrow. We're discussing running matches in hotel rooms until tomorrow. — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015 After this weekend I'm definitely helping Apex crew get legal council against this hotel for approving rooms after the storm unofficially. — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015 No more updates for now I'm sorry to everyone but every single staff member is pulling together to figure out some sort of solution. — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015 TLDR: Apex is at a halt. Both ballrooms closed. Everyone asked to return to rooms until further notice. Staff can't even get setups out. — Alex (@Jebailey) January 30, 2015
