Several international invaders were upset on the first day, including two top 8 seeds: seed #32 seed {{Sm|Neeroz}} upset Neo 3-2 (upset factor 9) while #29 seed {{Sm|KID}} upset #4 seed {{Sm|Marss}} 3-2 (upset factor 6). In addition, #8 seed {{Sm|Skyjay}} lost to #40 seed {{Sm|Ente}} 0-3 and #33 seed {{Sm|Longo}} 1-3 (both upset factor 5) for 33rd, and #10 seed {{Sm|BassMage}} lost to #138 seed {{Sm|Elfo}} 1-3 (upset factor 8) and #31 seed {{Sm|MazeBeans}} 2-3 for 33rd as well. Outside of the international players, #11 seed {{Sm|Tarik}} was also upset by #86 seed {{Sm|Poww}} 2-3 (upset factor 6). The Losers' Top 32 Qualifier match between {{Sm|Artsnif}} and {{Sm|Lancelot}} was cut off during game 4 due to the venue closing, leaving said match as the only unfinished match before top 32 the following day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Artsnif/status/1761455055012556876?t=-SlRTHNc9wDqhHzNuDCITg|title=Venue closing during {{Sm|Artsnif}} and {{Sm|Lancelot}}'s set}}</ref> Lancelot would win game 4 and 5 to win the set 3-2, with game 5 being a reverse 3-stock.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LancelotSSB/status/1761679866443796900|title="Reverse 3-0 stocked Artsnif game 5 in a corner with nobody watching 😭"}}</ref>

On the second day, KID continued his strong run by defeating {{Sm|Oryon}} 3-1 and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 3-2 to enter top 8 Winner's side, the furthest a {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} player had went at a major. On the Loser's side, both Neo and Tarik managed to make strong Loser runs to make it into top 8, with Neo going game 5 against {{Sm|AndresFn}} and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} while Tarik mostly cruised through his bracket; both players then fought each other in top 8, with Neo coming out on top, and Neo ultimately placed 5th. On the other hand, {{Sm|Sisqui}} was notably eliminated at 17th, losing to {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 0-3 and {{Sm|MazeBeans}} 2-3, tying {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}} as his worst European major placement. In addition, {{Sm|Marss}} was also eliminated at 17th by {{Sm|Flow|p=France}}, marking Marss's first double-digit placement since {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}}.  
MkLeo won the event, beating {{Sm|ApolloKage}} in Winners' Quarters, {{Sm|Raflow}} in Winners' Finals, and Sparg0 in Winners' Semifinals and Grand Finals. This was notably his first major win since {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} one year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since {{Trn|Wavedash 2023}} eight months prior. This was also the third major of 2024 with at least one of the [[Four Horsemen]] in attendance that was won by someone outside of the Four Horsemen. Raflow placed 3rd while being the #9 seed, only losing to MkLeo and Sparg0. Bloom4Eva placed 4th, his first Top 4 at a major since {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2022}} over a year prior. KID placed 5th as the #29 seed, upsetting {{Sm|Oryon}} and MKBigBoss to make Winners' side of Top 8. Though Neo won six sets through Losers' side, he was defeated by Sparg0 at 5th place. Oryon defeated #6 seed ApolloKage 3-2 (upset factor 4) before losing to Bloom4Eva at 7th place. #5 seed Sisqui would be upset by both #12 seed MKBigBoss and #31 seed MazeBeans to be eliminated at 17th place. #23 seed {{Sm|Flow}} upset #4 seed Marss 3-1 (upset factor 5), eliminating him at 17th place.
 
In top 8, KID's run was ended by {{Sm|Raflow}} 3-1 while MkLeo defeated Sparg0 3-2, allowing the two to face-off in a runback from {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023}}. MkLeo ultimately won 3-2, moving on to Grand Finals. A notable event took place during game 3 of the set: when the two were on their second stock at low percent, Raflow's controller disconnected. Although MkLeo requested the match to go on, the tournament organizers had Raflow lose a stock, and he ultimately lost the game. Following the set, MkLeo defeated Sparg0 in the runback 3-1, winning his first major since {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} a year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since {{Trn|Wavedash 2023}} eight months prior
