At just 145 entrants, this tournament was noticeably smaller than its [[Tournament:Cirque Du CFL 3|previous iteration]], however it featured just as much talent, if not more. As such, this event became the smallest post-pandemic open major in terms of entrants count, as well as the smallest open major since {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}}, which took place during the pandemic. | At just 145 entrants, this tournament was noticeably smaller than its [[Tournament:Cirque Du CFL 3|previous iteration]], however it featured just as much talent, if not more.

Due to the tournament size, there were less upsets at Cirque 4 compared to other majors, with only three notable ones prior to top 32: #51 seed {{Sm|jBoneX}} defeating #14 seed {{Sm|Kaninabe}} 3-2 (UF 4), #38 seed {{Sm|Osh9}} defeating #6 seed {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}} (upset factor 6), and #57 seed {{Sm|Spritzy}} eliminating #13 seed {{Sm|MuteAce}} 3-1 for 33rd (upset factor 4). Conversely, top 32 saw underwhelming finishes from both Snow and #2 seed {{Sm|Hurt}}, with Snow being eliminated by #17 seed {{Sm|Goblin}} 1-3 (upset factor 4) and Hurt losing to | Due to the tournament size, there were less upsets at Cirque 4 compared to other majors, with only three notable ones prior to top 32: #51 seed {{Sm|jBoneX}} defeating #14 seed {{Sm|Kaninabe}} 3-2 (UF 4), #38 seed {{Sm|Osh9}} defeating #6 seed {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}} (upset factor 6), and #57 seed {{Sm|Spritzy}} eliminating #13 seed {{Sm|MuteAce}} 3-1 for 33rd (upset factor 4).

Contrasting these two mediocre finishes from Japan's best players were incredible performances from both {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} and {{Sm|Tea}}. Miya especially got his revenge on players that had defeated him in their most recent set, including a clean reverse 3-0 against {{Sm|Tweek}} and a 3-0 victory against {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, in order to enter grand finals on the winner's side, his first grand finals appearance at a North American major since {{Trn|Litvitational 2}}. For Tea, his 5th-place finish marked his best open major performance since {{Trn|Kagaribi 12}} back in May, as well as his first top 8 finish at an open major during the [[LumiRank 2024.2]] season. Along the way, he replicated his performance at the pre-major {{Trn|Litvitational 3}} by defeating {{Sm|Sparg0}} 3-2, only Tea's second win on Sparg0, and losing to {{Sm|Lima}} 2-3. | Contrasting these two mediocre finishes from Japan's best players were incredible performances from both {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} and {{Sm|Tea}}.
