Editing Tournament:Gamescom LAN x CGN Open

This event featured a multitude of out-of-country talent, including {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} from [[Mexico]]; many of [[France]]'s best players including {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|crêpe salée}}, and {{Sm|Raflow}}; and {{Sm|Supahsemmie}} from the [[Netherlands]]. In addition, the event featured almost all of Germany's best players, including {{Sm|Tarik}}, {{Sm|quiK}}, and {{Sm|drybie}}. As such, this event became [[Germany]]'s first A tier event, and Germany became the third European country to hold one in the post-pandemic metagame. Conversely, the event only featured two players ranked in the top 50 on the [[LumiRank 2024.2]], Sparg0 and Glutonny. As such, this event is [[List of major tournaments (SSBU)#Disputed majors|not considered a major on SmashWiki]].

This event featured the greatest run of Supahsemmie's career up to that point. He first entered top 8 Winners side with an upset over the number one seed Sparg0, defeating him 3-1. In top 8, he notably double-eliminated {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 3-1 and 3-0, but unfortunately was double-eliminated himself by crêpe salée 0-3 in both sets to place 2nd. Nevertheless, this was considered the best Young Link performance at an A tier event in the post-pandemic metagame, outplacing {{Sm|Toast}}'s placement at {{Trn|CEO 2022}}. On the other hand, after losing to Supahsemmie, Sparg0 was able to defeat Germany's best two players quiK and Tarik 3-1 and 3-0, respectively, knocking out Germany from the top 6 of their own event. Sparg0 then defeated Glutonny in a 3-2, but then lost to MKBigBoss 1-3 to place 4th, notably going down 0-2 while using {{SSBU|Aegis}}. This upset was surprising, as Sparg0 had a 4-0 record over MKBigBoss, with their last 2 sets even being blowouts for Sparg0.
