Despite the event's size, it not only featured many of Japan's best players from the early metagame, such as {{Sm|Zackray}}, {{Sm|Tea}}, and {{Sm|Kameme}}, but also featured players who were on the rise during the pandemic, such as {{Sm|Akakikusu}} and {{Sm|Hero|p=Japan}}. As such, the event became the first ''Ultimate'' major since {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}, as well as the only offline major to take place during the pandemic metagame. | Despite the event's size, it not only featured many of Japan's best players from the early metagame, such as {{Sm|Zackray}}, {{Sm|Tea}}, and {{Sm|Kameme}}, but also featured players who were on the rise during the pandemic, such as {{Sm|Akakikusu}} and and {{Sm|Hero|p=Japan}}.
