==Trivia==
*Due to an [[Cascadia Clash|Invitational]] happening in Oregon on the same weekend, many of Washington & the greater Pacific Northwest's best players weren't participating. The PAXArena stream raided the invitational stream at the end of both days as compensation.
*The highest-placing participant from the Seattle area was {{Sm|Justice}}, at 5th.
