Editing Tournament:Luminosity Invitational 2: Back to School

The first two seeds {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|Sonix}} underperformed in their round robin pools, with #1 Sparg0 losing to #9 {{Sm|MkLeo}} (Upset factor 6) and #8 {{Sm|Zomba}} (UF 5) 0-3 to place third in his round robin and #2 Sonix losing to #10 {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} (UF 5) and #7 {{Sm|ShinyMark}} 1-3 (UF 4) and losing the head-to-head tiebreaker with ShinyMark to place fourth in his round robin. As such, the two ultimately faced off on the losers side of bracket, with Sparg0 defeating Sonix with {{SSBU|Roy}} 3-2 for 13th, the first time Sonix placed outside the top 3 since he finished 25th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}}. Conversely, Sparg0 tore through the losers bracket, defeating {{Sm|Maister}} 3-0, Light 3-1, {{Sm|Asimo}} 3-0, Zomba 3-1, and Shuton 3-0 to enter grand finals. Finally, the fourth seed {{Sm|SHADIC}} also underperformed, losing to #5 Asimo 0-3 and #12 Maister (UF 3) 2-3 to place third in his round robin before being eliminated at 13th by #14 {{Sm|Marss}} (UF 4) 3-2, tying {{Trn|Get On My Level X}} as his worst placement in 2024 so far. As such, the two finalists of the previous Luminosity Invitational, SHADIC and Sonix, finished at last place, alongside Dabuz and TM7_ZAP.

On the other hand, following strong performances in Japan, both #12 Maister and #9 MkLeo were able to overcome some of their demons during the event, with Maister defeating #13 {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-1, his first win on Dabuz since {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}; and MkLeo defeating #11 {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-1 and #7 {{Sm|ShinyMark}} 3-0, his first win on the two since {{Trn|Pound 2022}} and {{Trn|Smash Factor 9}}, respectively. Maister is also the only other player, outside of Zomba, to have a 3-0 record in his pool. Ironically, MkLeo was ultimately eliminated by Zomba (both in group stage and in loser's quarters for 5th), a player who he had defeated in their last three encounters prior to this event.

After entering winner's side by placing first in his round robin despite a rough pool, #15 Kola entered grand finals defeating MkLeo 3-1, #5 Asimo in a reverse 3-0 (UF 3), and #3 Shuton 3-1 (UF 5). Although he lost the first set of grands to Sparg0 3-1, getting reverse 3-stocked in the final game, Kola was able to defeat him 3-2 in the reset (UF 7), winning his first major since {{Trn|CEO 2021}} and becoming the lowest-seeded player to win a major invitational, as he was seeded 15th.
