Format[edit]
Unlike previous installments, the singles bracket was not decided by initial seeding but through four group stages in the GSL format, which is a four player double-elimination bracket without a grand final. The pool order was decided by the top four seeds (Armada, Hungrybox, Mango and Mew2King) who selected players in snake order.
| Group | Group Captain | Player | Player | Player |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | Armada |

Trivia[edit]
- A Summit tournament organizer confirmed that the Summit team decided against numbering Smash Summit events after the third entry.[1] However, the fifth event was revealed to be named Smash Summit 5, returning to being numbered.
- Leffen's name was uncommonly placed as "L3ffen" on the first promotional image for the tournament, which happens to be how his YouTube and Instagram username is stylized.
- This tournament broke the seven-year record for the largest singles pot in all of Smash history at $51,444, beating Brawl at MLG Dallas 2010's $35,000.
