Evolution 2016 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U champion, Cloud9's Elliot "Ally" Bastien Carozza-Oyarce, has dropped out of The Big House 6, citing health concerns.
@BearUNLV @_Vayseth_ DQ me. I left home. Sorry just couldn't sleep in 2 days and I have headaches since sat.

The world's top Mario player was dropped into the loser's bracket by Chris "WaDi" Boston in pools, which left many fans surprised. "We played friendlies while we were at Cali for the Abadango Saga and he played relatively the same," WaDi said.
As for tournament organizers, Panda Global's Bassem "Bear" Dahdouh feels that it won't affect the tournament moving forward. He said, "He got a loss for that match against [James Wade]."
Ally's departure from one of the largest Smash 4 tournaments of the year opens up the bracket, giving Japan's Takuto "Kameme" Ono an opportunity to continue his loser's run. It also means top players like Team eLevate's Larry "Larry Lurr" Holland and Netherlands' Ramin "Mr. R" Delshad won't have to face him.
