TriviaEdit
- After being upset before the start of Top 64 by Brr, Anathema won 11 straight sets in loser's bracket before finishing 2nd overall.
- This drew comparisons to Dabuz's own 11-set loser's run at Double Down 2022, in which both players were upset early on before finishing in the Top 4.
- This tournament marks the first Smash major where Grand Finals was between the first ranked player (MkLeo) and last ranked player (Anathema) on the most recent version of that game's PGR.
- During what was supposed to be Onin's Top 8 entrance, Onin had a doppelganger take his place on stage before switching seats to begin his set.
- Because of flight delays at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport the day after the tournament, MkLeo and MiniMo were chosen to be interviewed by FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth.
