As a result of the replay and possibly its outcome, the rest of the tournament (winners' finals, losers' finals, and grand finals) were all [[sandbagging|sandbagged]] by Unknown and {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, with KirbyKaze being asked to play out his set despite throwing game 1 and M2K being allowed to 3-0 Unknown in both grand final sets to take the tournament. M2K and Unknown also agreed to split their winnings in public before the grand final even began, creating further controversy.

M2K and Unknown also agreed to split their winnings in public before the grand final even began, creating further controversy.


In discussions following RoM 5 on [[Smash World Forums]], M2K and Unknown both admitted that they were at some fault, with M2K explaining that he didn't check the rules but that they weren't articulated well enough before the tournament, but that the replay shouldn't have happened as he and Unknown had already decided what would normally have been the outcome, and Unknown admitting that he should have played out his Grand Finals sets. However, when a third party in {{Sm|Cactuar}} claimed that M2K knew full well that Final Destination was illegal, and that he pestered Unknown to be able to choose Final Destination until he finally caved in and accepted, confusion ensued as people were met with two completely different stories of what happened. During the argument that followed, Alukard posted his argument into the thread that it was all M2K's fault and that he just pulled everyone into the controversy himself, and threatened to ban him from [[Revival of Melee 6]]- however, there were then people who argued against ''him'' claiming that he made a mistake himself in the bracket and forced Mew2King to move into a different set during Winner's Semifinals. If he had not screwed up the bracket in the first place, they said, this situation would not have happened at all. With a myriad of different arguments presented to users on the forum, the entire argument is still something of a gray area, but the general consensus is that all three perpetrators- Alukard, M2K, and Unknown- made mistakes in organizing or playing out the tournament, and that the community should take this seriously to make sure these mistakes do not happen again in the future.
