At 1,280 entrants for singles, the ''Ultimate'' event is the largest singles event at Frostbite, as well as the second-largest ''Ultimate'' event in the [[Midwest]] after {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}. In-line with the large entrants count, the tournament featured a slew of talent, including every North American player ranked on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]] sans {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Nicko}} as well as many of Japan's best players. This tournament most notably marked {{Sm|Paseriman}}'s first major international event in ''Ultimate'', and remained only one of two major international events Paseriman attended in his ''Ultimate'' career. With many top players in attendance, Frostbite 2020 is widely considered one of the most difficult tournaments of the early metagame, as well as one of the most difficult Midwest events. | At 1,280 entrants for singles, the ''Ultimate'' event is the largest singles event at Frostbite, as well as the second-largest ''Ultimate'' event in the [[Midwest]] after {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}.

The event is most famous for {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s extensive | The event is most famous for {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s extensive Losers' run. Leo was first sent into Losers by {{Sm|Prodigy}}, who surprised audiences by 3-0ing MkLeo in Winner's Round 1 of Top 96, becoming the fourth player to 3-0 MkLeo and only the second player to do so on his {{SSBU|Joker}}. Despite the upset, MkLeo clawed through the Losers' bracket, eliminating {{Sm|Salem}} 3-1, {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} 3-0, {{Sm|Samsora}} 3-0, {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-1, {{Sm|Zackray}} 3-2, {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-0, {{Sm|Tea}} 3-2, and {{Sm|Tweek}} 3-2 to meet {{Sm|Maister}} in Grand Finals, the first "all-Mexican" Grand Finals at a major. MkLeo then swiftly defeated Maister 6-0 to win the event. Many players have since considered MkLeo's run as the best Loser's run to victory in ''Ultimate'', as he eliminated 6 of the Fall 2019 PGRU's top 10; the closest player to eliminate MkLeo was Tea, who was only frames away from hitting his forward smash in their final game. In addition, this tournament also had the first appearance of MkLeo's {{SSBU|Byleth}}, as MkLeo used Byleth in the final game of the event. | ||
Outside of MkLeo, this event is also known for {{Sm|Toast}}'s run to 7th. Although he had been gaining traction since the last season, Toast was finally able to achieve his major breakout event at Frostbite 2020, defeating {{Sm|Kameme}} 3-1 and {{Sm|Samsora}} 3-1 to make it into top 24, where after losing to {{Sm|Maister}} 3-1 he defeated {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} 3-2 to enter top 8, the first and only solo-Young Link player to place top 8 at a major/supermajor. Toast's performance at Frostbite 2020 remains the best performance for a Young Link player at a supermajor and is often considered one of Young Link's best overall major performances, alongside Toast's run at {{Trn|CEO 2022}}. | Outside of MkLeo, this event is also known for {{Sm|Toast}}'s run to 7th.
