Melee]]'', and {{forwiiu}}, as well as side events for ''{{s|wikipedia|Rivals of Aether}}'', ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition}}'', ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokkén Tournament DX}}'', and ''{{s|wikipedia|Dance Dance Revolution Extreme}}''.

In the ''Melee'' singles event, {{Sm|Plup}} won the tournament in the biggest tournament victory of his career, taking down {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Armada}}, and {{Sm|Mango}}, the 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-ranked players in the world on his way to the trophy. While the previous four iterations of GENESIS had featured Mango and Armada in grand finals, the two finished at 5th and 4th place respectively. Both were sent to losers' by  {{Sm|Plup}} and eliminated by {{Sm|Leffen}}. The tournament also featured two extremely competitive sets between Hungrybox and Leffen, fueled by intense drama between the two on Twitter and other social media sites; Hungrybox ultimately won both five-game sets in winners' semis and losers' finals. [[Team Dignitas]]' newly-sponsored players, {{Sm|Lucky}} and {{Sm|HugS}}, both made deep runs into bracket, finishing at 5th and 7th place respectively, and fan favorite {{Sm|aMSa}} delivered a strong performance once again, defeating {{Sm|Kage}}, {{Sm|SFAT}}, and {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} before being eliminated by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and {{Sm|HugS}} to end his run at a 9th place finish.

*This tournament marked the first GENESIS in which {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Mango}} did not meet in Grand Finals, with both players losing to {{Sm|Plup}} in Winners and {{Sm|Leffen}} in Losers.

*Notably, none of the active "Gods" ({{Sm|Armada}}, {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}}) played each other at any point in Melee Singles. Each one was either sent to the Losers Bracket or eliminated by {{Sm|Leffen}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, or {{Sm|Lucky}}.

*Humorously, the [https://clips.twitch.tv/GenerousBravePresidentSpicyBoy post-tournament splash screen] initially congratulated Hungrybox for winning the tournament, despite Plup having won instead. This was likely due to this image being premade for the favorite of the tournament. The attempted fix that followed then misspelled Plup's name as "Pluip" before the congratulations screen settled on the correct name.
