The "Sprawl" series of third-person team shooter games created by Nintendo has gained a large number of loyal players with its excellent ink art style and unique gameplay of "painting the earth".


In April this year, Nintendo also held the "SplashDragon 3" World Championship, with a total of 6 teams participating, and finally the North American team Jackpot won the championship.

However, in June this year, it was revealed that four members of Jackpot's team had made racist remarks on the chat software Discord, which caused some controversy.





Nintendo, which has always been cautious, did not sit idly by. Recently, the official issued a statement on this matter, saying that "some members of the Jackpot team, which recently won the "Splash Dunk 3" World Championship, behaved in a way that did not meet our community guidelines when playing the game "Splash Dunk 3". Therefore, "the Jackpot team's championship qualification will be revoked, and the team will not receive the trophy associated with the event."


In addition, Nintendo also stated that the Jackpot-related celebration items that have been launched in the game "Splash Dunk 3" will also be adjusted, and emphasized: "Nintendo cares very much about our players and our community, and we have the responsibility to seriously abide by our community guidelines."
