The top 8 for the tournament marked a multitude of milestones for the early metagame, including the first time a {{SSBU|Link}} and {{SSBU|Greninja}} made top 8 at a ''Ultimate'' supermajor. {{Sm|Lea}} placed 7th with Greninja after falling early to {{Sm|moxi}} in pools and going on an extensive losers run, defeating {{Sm|Lumbre}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, {{Sm|Myran}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Goblin}}, and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, before being eliminated by {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} | The top 8 for the tournament marked a multitude of milestones for the early metagame, including the first time a {{SSBU|Link}} and {{SSBU|Greninja}} made top 8 at a ''Ultimate'' supermajor. {{Sm|Lea}} placed 7th with Greninja after falling early to {{Sm|moxi}} in pools and going on an extensive losers run, defeating {{Sm|Lumbre}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, {{Sm|Myran}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Goblin}}, and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, before being eliminated by {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}. {{Sm|T}} placed 5th with Link, qualifying for top 8 after defeating players such as {{Sm|Zackray}}, {{Sm|Gackt}}, and Dabuz, before being eliminated back-to-back by {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Maister}}. To this day, this tournament remains the greatest run seen by a Link player at a major/supermajor in ''Ultimate'', causing many people to compare it to T's best run [[Link (SSB4)|as the character]] in ''Smash 4'' with 3rd at {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}}, another 2GGaming hosted event. | ||
This tournament would be a bit of a return to form for {{Sm|Tweek}}, who primarily went {{SSBU|Wario}} after dedicating himself to mostly {{SSBU|Joker}} since {{Trn|Return to Yoshi's Island}} and was his first top 8 since {{Trn|The Big House 9}} two months prior. He went through his winner's side going game 5 against many top players, including {{Sm|Glutonny}} where they fought in the Wario [[ditto match]], a set that is considered one of the greatest ditto matches in ''Ultimate'' history. At the same time, MkLeo was continuing his dominance of the season, only dropping 4 games in his entire bracket up until winners finals. This would be where MkLeo and Tweek would meet in bracket, who was Tweek's current bracket demon and continuing their rivalry for the season. Tweek would be up 2-1 in the set before MkLeo brought it back with game 4 and 5 to swing him the victory, continuing the infamous "Game 4 Leo" moniker that MkLeo obtained during the fall 2019 season. After Tweek won 3-1 against Maister in losers finals, the two would have a runback in grand finals where Tweek would take the first two games in a two-stock fashion before MkLeo clutched a reverse 3-0 to take the tournament, closing the chapter on major 2GGaming events in ''Smash'' history. MkLeo's victory marked his third supermajor victory of the season behind {{Trn|EVO 2019}} and {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}. This would also mark the only tournament MkLeo won during the Fall 2019 PGRU season without being sent to losers in any sort of fashion. | This tournament would be a bit of a return to form for {{Sm|Tweek}}, who primarily went {{SSBU|Wario}} after dedicating himself to mostly {{SSBU|Joker}} since {{Trn|Return to Yoshi's Island}} and was his first top 8 since {{Trn|The Big House 9}} two months prior.
