==Tournament summary==
==Tournament summary==
The tournament was the sixth and final "premier" event for the [[LumiRank 2023]] season, with the event featuring [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023|24 of the mid-year ranking's top 30 players]] in attendance -- only {{Sm|Yoshidora}}, {{Sm|Kameme}}, {{Sm|Zackray}}, {{Sm|Jogibu}}, {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}, and {{Sm|DIO}} were not in attendance -- making it one of the most top heavy events of the year alongside {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}. This tournament was also the North American tournament debut for {{Sm|Hurt}} and {{Sm|Kaninabe}}, two of Japan's rising stars, as well as {{Sm|alice}}'s first open North American event.
The tournament is currently set to be the sixth and final "premier" event for the [[LumiRank 2023]] season, with the event featuring [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023|24 of the mid-year ranking's top 30 players]] in attendance -- only {{Sm|Yoshidora}}, {{Sm|Kameme}}, {{Sm|Zackray}}, {{Sm|Jogibu}}, {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}, and {{Sm|DIO}} will not be in attendance -- making it one of the most top heavy events of the year alongside {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}. This tournament is also the North American tournament debut for {{Sm|Hurt}} and {{Sm|Kaninabe}}, two of Japan's rising stars, as well as {{Sm|alice}}'s first open North American event.
 
A numerous amount of top players ended up underperforming at this event. Most notably, all four top Mexican players, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, and {{Sm|Skyjay}}, were in attendance and tied at 17th. Other underperformances include {{Sm|Riddles}} placing 13th, {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|Asimo}} finishing 17th, {{Sm|Zomba}} finishing 33rd, and a few top Japanese players such as {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}}, {{Sm|Yaura}}, and {{Sm|Shuton}} finishing outside of top 32. Shuton notably was upset by {{Sm|Skinny the Pooh}} and {{Sm|Tarik}} for 49th, marking his worst placement in ''Ultimate'' singles.
 
Conversely, this also marked the best supermajor placement in North America for some characters. {{Sm|Umeki}} placing 5th with solely {{SSBU|Daisy}} is the best run with the character in the country since Umeki's own 17th place at {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}. Most notably, {{Sm|BeastModePaul}}'s 17th place with solely Hero is the best performance of the character at a North American tournament, having a hot streak in bracket and notably upsetting three Europeans -- {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Sisqui}}, and {{Sm|AndresFn}} -- along the way.
 
The Loser's side of Top 8 featured a ditto between the best {{SSBU|Peach}}/{{SSBU|Daisy}} players in North America and Japan ({{Sm|MuteAce}} and Umeki) as well as a ditto between the best {{SSBU|Fox}} players in the two regions ({{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} and {{Sm|Kaninabe}}). Several players compared the Loser's side to the Loser's side of ''Melee'' singles at {{Trn|Fête 3: By the Sea}}.
 
The Winner's side of top 8 saw {{Sm|Sonix}} facing off against Japan's best two players {{Sm|acola}} and {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, marking the first time Sonix fought the two. He ultimately dominated both sets, deafeating acola 3-0 and defeating Miya 3-1; the latter also marked Miya's first game loss of the tournament. Miya defeated acola 3-1 in Loser's Finals, with acola notably pulling out his secondary {{SSBU|Aegis}} in game 2 to no avail, and managed to reset the bracket against Sonix 3-1. However, Sonix ultimately clutched out the final set 3-1, winning his first premier event.
 
This tournament marks {{Team|Luminosity Gaming}}'s first major/supermajor win, with {{Sm|Sonix}} finally breaking the "curse" and winning ''Ultimate'' singles. Sonix's win also broke Miya's three-major win streak, who had previously won {{Trn|Kagaribi 11}}, {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind 2023}}, and {{Trn|Seibugeki 15}} back-to-back. This tournament also marked the first premier-tier event since {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} that {{Sm|acola}} did not make it to grand finals.
