This event finally broke {{Sm|Sonix}}'s streak of runner-up finishes and his struggle to win a major within the last 2 years, as he won the tournament without dropping a set, defeating {{Sm|Zomba}} 3-2 in Grand Finals in a sort of "runback" to Sonix's loss at {{Trn|GENESIS X}}, one of the first few events that began his "second-place curse" at major and superregional events. As such, Sonix's victory marked his first major win since {{Trn|The Coinbox IRL}} and his first supermajor victory since [[Tournament:Port Priority 8|the previous Port Priority]]. For the rest of the top 8, #55 seed {{Sm|Lammers44}} placed 7th using solo-{{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, becoming the first Mii Gunner to place top 8 at a major and achieving the best Mii Gunner performance in the game, while {{Sm|Mild na H.O}} became the first {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} player to place top 8 at a North American major, after having done so several times in Japan throughout the year. In addition, {{Sm|Toriguri}} finished 5th after being eliminated by Zomba in their runback, the 6th time he has reached {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s highest major placement. | This event finally broke {{Sm|Sonix}}'s streak of runner-up finishes and his struggle to win a major within the last 2 years, as he won the tournament without dropping a set, defeating {{Sm|Zomba}} 3-2 in Grand Finals in a sort of "runback" to Sonix's loss at {{Trn|GENESIS X}}, one of the first few events that began his "second-place curse" at major and superregional events.

Outside of the top 8, | Outside of the top 8, two notable Losers runs took place. After an early loss to #111 seed {{Sm|umanz}} (upset factor 5), #18 seed {{Sm|BeastModePaul}} won his next 7 sets, eliminating players such as {{Sm|zawg}}, {{Sm|MFA}}, and Sin along the way, outperforming his seed and finish 13th. Similarly, #32 seed Jagabata took an early loss to #97 seed {{Sm|LRA_START}} (upset factor 4) but went on an 8-set Losers run where he eliminated players such as {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|BassMage}}, and {{Sm|Sisqui}} to finish just outside the top 8. Conversely, half of the top 8 seeds underperformed greatly. Most notable among these underperformances was #8 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}}, who went 2-2 in tournament after losing to #57 seed {{Sm|Yeast}} (upset factor 6) before being eliminated 3-0 by #81 seed {{Sm|rm8}} (upset factor 7) for 65th, his worst performance in ''Ultimate'' and tying his performance at {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}} and {{Trn|EVO 2017}} as his worst placements of his career. In addition, #1 seed {{Sm|Syrup}} lost to {{Sm|Lui$}} (upset factor 10) and {{Sm|Monte}} (upset factor 8) to place 25th; #6 seed Tweek lost to Sin (upset factor 6) and {{Sm|Toon}} to place 25th; and #7 seed {{Sm|Asimo}} lost to {{Sm|Lammers44}} (upset factor 6) and Toon to place 17th. Finally, Furararamen's debut international event fell flat, as he drowned in pools after losing to {{Sm|SoulArts}} and {{Sm|Karflo}} to place 129th. | ||
