==Tournament summary==

{{Sm|SHADIC}}'s run in the group stage was particularly notable, as despite being the 12th seed, he is the only one with #2 seed {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} to win all of his round robin matches, upsetting #5 seed {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-2 and #4 seed {{Sm|Shuton}} (Upset factor 3) 3-1. Conversely, the first seed {{Sm|Zomba}} underperformed as he lost all of his pools matches, against #16 seed {{Sm|Peabnut}} (UF 7, the biggest of the tournament), #9 seed {{Sm|Aaron}} (UF 6) and #8 seed {{Sm|Asimo}} (UF 5), all in game 4 sets. The other notable upset during group phase was #14 seed {{Sm|BeastModePaul}} win over #3 seed {{Sm|Light}} in a close game 5 set (UF 5).<br>

The final bracket saw great runs from both SHADIC and #10 seed {{Sm|Lima}}. Starting in winner side, SHADIC reached winners finals after defeating BeastModePaul 3-0 and #7 seed {{Sm|Kola}} 3-2 before losing to Miya and Light in two game 5 sets, placing 3rd. Lima lost all three of his pools matches, starting in loser's side. He managed to enter top 8 by winning two game 5 sets against {{Sm|Aaron}} and most impressively {{Sm|Shuton}} (UF 4).

Lastly #13 seed {{Sm|Epic_Gabriel}} made his first major top 8, starting on loser's side and winning his first set against #6 seed {{Sm|ApolloKage}} 3-0 (UF 3) and Peabnut 3-2, before losing in the [[R.O.B (SSBU)|ROB]] ditto against Zomba, placing 7th.

In a close game 5 set which saw Miya use his secondary [[Mii Swordfighter (SSBU)|Mii Swordfighter]], Light was able to reset the bracket.

==Trivia==
*Registration was actually left open on the start.gg page before the event started. This was discovered by {{Sm|toughsnow}}, who was able to sign up for the event and [https://x.com/Toughsnowbuild1/status/1765894500608618940 remained in bracket for a few days] until the LCQ had been decided.
