The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

==Tournament summary==
Following criticisms from [[Tournament:The Luminosity Invitational|the first invitational]], several changes were implemented for this event that made it more in-line with a traditional, [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Summit]]-esque invitational. Initially scheduled for September 14th-15th, the tournament was delayed by two weeks due to conflicts with {{Trn|Umebura SP 11}} and {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024}}. In addition, additional side events took place on the 27th, extending the event by an additional day.
Following criticisms from [[Tournament:The Luminosity Invitational|the first invitational]], several changes were implemented for this event that made it more in-line with a traditional, [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Summit]]-esque invitational. Initially scheduled for September 14th-15th, the tournament was delayed by two weeks due to conflicts with {{Trn|Umebura SP 11}}. In addition, additional side events took place on the 27th, extending the event by an additional day.
 
The first two seeds {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|Sonix}} underperformed in their round robin pools, with the first seed Sparg0 losing to #9 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}} (upset factor 6) and #8 {{Sm|Zomba}} (UF 5) 0-3 to place third in his round robin and the second seed Sonix losing to #10 seed {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} (UF 5) and #7 seed {{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 seed Asimo 0-3 and #12 seed Maister (UF 3) 2-3 to place third in his round robin before being eliminated at 13th by #14 seed {{Sm|Marss}} (UF 4) 3-2, tying {{Trn|Get On My Level X}} as his worst placement in 2024 so far. As such, the three finalists of the previous Luminosity Invitational, SHADIC, Sonix, and Dabuz, finished at last place, alongside {{Sm|TM7_ZAP}}.
 
On the other hand, following strong performances in Japan, both Maister and MkLeo were able to overcome some of their demons during the event, with Maister defeating #13 seed Dabuz 3-1, his first win on Dabuz since {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}; and MkLeo defeating #11 seed {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-1 and #7 seed {{Sm|ShinyMark}} 3-0, his first win on the two since {{Trn|Pound 2022}} and {{Trn|Smash Factor 9}}, respectively. 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, #15 seed Kola entered grand finals defeating MkLeo 3-1, Asimo in a reverse 3-0 (UF 3), and #3 seed 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.
