*2GG: Hyrule Saga stands as {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Javi|p=Smash 4}}'s worst placing in doubles, as they placed 9th. It is also tied with Greninja Saga for Nairo's worst performance in Smash for Wii U doubles, 17th. | |||

*Two live crew battles took place offstream at Hyrule Saga. Representatives from the Zelda community challenged the Ganondorf players, with the Zeldas winning with 5 stocks remaining. Afterwards the Links played the Toon Links, and the Links won with 3 stocks remaining. | |||
*Controversially, {{Sm|Coco|p=Arizona}} and {{Sm|Water}}, who are two Arizonan players, impersonated players and playing under their tag, leading to many players (including {{Sm|Karna}}) losing unjustly. This led to them both being banned from all 2GG events until further notice.<ref>[https://twitter.com/2GGaming/status/1012088451355705344 Coco and Water Ban Notice]</ref> | |||
