Another controversy was in regard to the {{forwiiu}} round 2 singles pools, in which the [[tournament organizer]]s made mistakes concerning some matches, such as {{Sm|ESAM}} being pitted against {{Sm|Ito}} instead of {{Sm|DSS}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_Zan/status/823349961798496256</ref> and {{Sm|Earth}} against {{Sm|6WX}} instead of {{Sm|SS|p=Arizona}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_juddy96/status/823351049327149056</ref>. | Another controversy was in regard to the {{forwiiu}} round 2 singles pools, in which the [[tournament organizer]]s made mistakes concerning some matches, such as {{Sm|ESAM}} being pitted against {{Sm|Ito}} instead of {{Sm|DSS}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_Zan/status/823349961798496256</ref> and {{Sm|Earth}} against {{Sm|6WX}} instead of {{Sm|SS|p=Arizona}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_juddy96/status/823351049327149056</ref>. | ||
Perhaps most notably, it was discovered that the losers' eighths set between {{Sm|komorikiri}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, as well as the set between {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, were both played with a [[ | Perhaps most notably, it was discovered that the losers' eighths set between {{Sm|komorikiri}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, as well as the set between {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, were both played with a [[Launch rate]] of 0.9. While it remains unclear how the launch rate was changed, many players argue that the competitive integrity of the event has been ruined due to the unusual circumstances of the matches. The [[tournament organizer]]s have faced criticism for failing to check the setups earlier to ensure the proper ruleset, and for forcing komorikiri and CaptainZack to only replay the final game of the set, instead of replaying the entirety of both sets. Furthermore, disgruntled viewers of the tournament would later go on to express their anger about the incident by referring to the tournament as "GENESIS 3.9", and making numerous attacks towards the TOs. In addition to this, viewers also aimed their attacks towards [[VGBootCamp]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr32FdDZq_M upload] of the match between komorikiri and CaptainZack, resulting in a comment response from [[GimR]], in which he requested that users "not spam dislike the video", as it negatively affected their channel. {{Sm|Dr. Z}} justified that by stating that, by starting a game, the player accepted the result of the previous one<ref>https://twitter.com/sheridactyls/status/823296620573790208</ref>. The TOs also claimed that the set between Dabuz and ZeRo was played with the correct settings<ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/823295513885687808</ref>, but it was later proven that it was not the case <ref>https://twitter.com/Ruben_dal/status/823301824237228034</ref>. Dabuz later made a TwitLonger asking for the reimbursement of his and komorikiri's travel fees<ref>https://twitter.com/DabuzSenpai/status/823309769020674048</ref>. This request was satisfied as the TOs promised to allow Dabuz and komorikiri to attend a future major tournament of their choice with all expenses covered<ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/823969890675687424</ref>. | ||
