The tournament was the second "premier-tier" event of the [[LumiRank 2024]] season and featured nineteen of the top 25 on the [[LumiRank 2023]], including eight of the top 10 and three of the [[Four Horsemen]]. Notably missing from the event were {{Sm|acola}}, who initially chose to not attend before changing his mind after registration was closed; and {{Sm|Yoshidora}}, the other top 10 player missing. On the other hand, this event was the debut major event for several Japanese players, most notably {{Sm|Hero|p=Japan}}, {{Sm|Shirayuki}}, {{Sm|Taikei}}, and {{Sm|Akakikusu}}, as well as several European players, most notably {{Sm|big chungus}} and {{Sm|MazeBeans}}. In addition, this marked {{Sm|Zackray}}'s first international appearance since {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}} in 2022; {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}'s first international open major since {{Trn|Double Down 2022}}; and {{Sm|Nietono}}'s first American event since {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}. | The tournament was the second "premier-tier" event of the [[LumiRank 2024]] season and featured nineteen of the top 25 on the [[LumiRank 2023]], including eight of the top 10 and three of the [[Four Horsemen]].

The most notable upset of the tournament happened in pools, with #9 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}} losing 1-2 to #248 seed {{Sm|Titan}} (upset factor 9). Although he made a small Losers run, MkLeo was ultimately defeated by {{Sm|Gackt}} 3-1 to place 25th, the first GENESIS event where he failed to make Grand Finals. In addition, #2 seed {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} was upset by #31 seed {{Sm|Raflow}} (upset factor 7) before losing to Zackray 3-0 for 17th, his worst placement at a major since {{Trn|Kagaribi 9}} a year prior. Finally, #40 seed Hero was upset in pools by #217 seed {{Sm|Ako|p=NorCal}} 1-2 (upset factor 5) but made a small Losers run to place 49th, nearly matching his seed and eliminating #25 seed {{Sm|Kurama}} for 97th; Kurama himself was sent into Losers by #281 seed {{Sm|Fendeavor}} 0-2 (upset factor 7) | The most notable upset of the tournament happened in pools, with #9 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}} losing 1-2 to #248 seed {{Sm|Titan}} (upset factor 9).

On the other hand, this event saw notable runs from {{SSBU|Corrin}} players {{Sm|SHADIC}} (seed #20) and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}} (seed #24). The former notably defeated #13 seed {{Sm|Yaura}} 3-2 in Winners and then both #5 seed {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-1 and #18 seed {{Sm|Maister}} 3-2 in Losers to make top 8. The latter defeated both #17 seed Zackray and #6 seed {{Sm|KEN}} 3-2 in Losers to face SHADIC in top 8. With {{Sm|Sparg0}} using Corrin to defeat KEN to make top 8, there was a total of three players in top 8 who used Corrin. In addition, Akakikusu's run to 13th was notable as it was the first time a Japanese {{SSBU|Hero}} player competed in North America, and therefore used the English [[Command Select]]. | On the other hand, this event saw notable runs from {{SSBU|Corrin}} players {{Sm|SHADIC}} (seed #20) and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}} (seed #24).
