-ROM 5 deviated from all other major tournaments of the year in that it used the Standard [[Dave's Stupid Rule]], which states one cannot counterpick ''any'' stage won, on instead of the Modified DSR, which states one cannot counterpick the ''last'' stage won on. Some smashers at the tournament were not informed of the unusual rule and in the case of {{Sm|Mew2King}} caused controversy in matches. In the winners' semifinal match featuring M2K and {{Sm|Unknown522}}, the match sequence went as follows:
+This tournament has caused much controversy among the Smash community due to the winners' semifinals match between {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Unknown522}}, as well as the events that occurred afterward.
+ROM 5 deviated from all other major tournaments of the year in that it used the Standard [[Dave's Stupid Rule]], which states one cannot counterpick ''any'' stage won, on instead of the Modified DSR, which states one cannot counterpick the ''last'' stage won on. Some smashers at the tournament were not informed of the unusual rule and in the case of {{Sm|Mew2King}} caused controversy in matches. In the winners' semifinal match featuring M2K and Unknown522, the match sequence went as follows:
 *Unknown wins on [[Battlefield]].
 *M2K wins on [[Final Destination]].
 *M2K wins on [[Fountain of Dreams]].
 *Unknown wins on Fountain of Dreams.
-At this point, Mew2king intended to counterpick Final Destination, claiming that the modified DSR was in effect. Unknown, though skeptical of the claim, agreed and lost the match on FD. After the match, Unknown clarified the claim with the TO Alukard, who stated the standard DSR was in effect. Mew2king and Unknown were then asked to replay match 5. Unknown then won on [[Yoshi's Story]].

Unknown then won on [[Yoshi's Story]].
-The point of controversy in this event stems from the question of whether or not M2K lied to Unknown as to whether Standard or Modified DSR was in effect. Some argue M2K did indeed cheat to stay in Winners, while other argue it was unintentional and that it was Unknown's fault for not clarifying the rules before playing the match. Alukard's decision to replay game 5 was also highly controversial, as the set was already over by the time he was available for clarification (another thing that the community does not understand how it happened).
+There have been several points of controversy in this event. Many players believe that M2K lied to Unknown as to whether Standard or Modified DSR was in effect, and argue that M2K did indeed cheat to win the match, while other argue it was unintentional and that it was Unknown's fault for not clarifying the rules before playing the match. Alukard's decision to replay game 5 was also highly controversial, as the set was already over by the time he was available for clarification (another thing that the community does not understand how it happened), and many players feel that the initial results should have been used, saying that forcing replays can disrupt a player's mindset, as was the case with the final results. There have also been people who argue that Alukard should have made it clearer that the rule was different from all other major tournaments that year, and that players should pay more attention to a tournament's rulesets.
-As a result of the replay and possibly its outcome, the rest of the tournament (winners' final, losers' final, and grand final) were all [[sandbagging|sandbagged]] by Unknown and {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, with KirbyKaze being asked to play out his set despite throwing game 1 and M2K being allowed to 3-0 Unknown in both grand final sets to take the tournament. M2K and Unknown also agreed to split their winnings in public before the grand final even began, creating further controversy.
