A week before the tournament started, [[Panda Global|PGStats]] determined that Glitch 7 would be a S-Tier tournament due to the number of currently-ranked PGRU players attending the tournament. However, Stroder would disqualify himself from the tournament, directly affecting Glitch 7's score and dropping it below the S-Tier threshold of 2,400 points. As a result, PGStats announced that Glitch 7 would be demoted into an A-Tier.<ref>{{ | A week before the tournament started, [[Panda Global|PGStats]] determined that Glitch 7 would be a S-Tier tournament due to the number of currently-ranked PGRU players attending the tournament.
