Tournament summary[edit]
This tournament saw unexpected runs from the #11 seed Zomba and #16 seed Jakal. Jakal took the tournament's first notable upset by defeating #1 seed Sparg0 3-2 in Winners Top 24 (upset factor 8), and defeated #8 seed Onin 3-1 (upset factor 3) to make it to Winner's Semifinals. Zomba likewise upset both #6 seed Sonix 3-1 (upset factor 2) and #3 seed MkLeo (upset factor 4) in a reverse 3-0 - a highly anticipated match due to their recent feud - to make it to Winner's Semifinals as well. On the Loser's side, #17 seed Chase eliminated both #7 seed Tea (upset factor 3) and #4 seed Light (upset factor 5) to enter top 8, while Sparg0 lost to MkLeo (upset factor 2) in a reverse 3-0 to place 9th.
In top 8, the Loser Quarter-Finals sets saw Tweek and MkLeo pull out secondary characters they've been working on for a game: Mega Man for Tweek and Meta Knight for MkLeo. Both players ultimately lost their sets to Onin and Jakal, respectively, ending their runs at 5th. On the Winner's side, Zomba defeated two of his demons - Tweek 3-2 and Shuton in a reverse 3-0 - to make it into Grand Finals on the winner's side. Likewise, after falling to Shuton 3-2, Jakal made a notable Loser's Run defeating MkLeo 3-0 and reverse 3-0ing both Onin and Shuton in the runback to make it to Grand Finals on Loser's side, leaving many players to joke that the supermajor's Grand Final was only a typical Tristate local Grand Final. Zomba ultimately won 3-1, marking his first ever major/supermajor victory, the first R.O.B. player to do so since Zackray at Ultimate WANTED 4, and the first solo-R.O.B. to do so.
