==Tournament summary==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
After talks with several entrants and staff members, it was decided only the open bracket counted for the rankings,<ref>https://twitter.com/GimmeDatWheat/status/1699470135541551348</ref> due to the ruleset using banned stages and the less serious environment of the charity tournament.
 
{{Sm|aMSa}} won ''Melee'' singles bracket for the second year in a row, in his last tournament before moving back to Japan.

Charity incentives included Brinstar counterpick enabled for Melee doubles, Saffron City and Hyrule Castle enabled for Smash 64 singles, Corneria and Mute City enabled for Melee singles, 5 stocks in Melee Grand Finals, and a caster swap between Melee and Black Ops II. All of which became enabled, with $215.637.69 raised by the end of the event.[1] The event was a retro-themed charity fundraiser event in support of Movember that also featured a Call of Duty: Black Ops II invitational, a Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock singles open, showmatches, and speedruns.
