When the list of invited players were announced, many players were confused as to why the [[LumiRank 2024.1]]'s top 3 players -- {{Sm|acola}}, {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, and {{Sm|Sonix}} -- were not invited, why there were no European players invited to the event, and why there were no qualifiers for the event. In a later discussion, the organizers stated that they were experimenting with running an invitational where the invited players were those that audiences would deem "entertaining" rather than just the best players in order to separate themselves from {{Trn|Smash Summit|series}}, hence the absence of acola, Miya, and Sonix, as well as the lack of qualifiers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2242720375|title=THE THRONE ROUND TABLE}}</ref> | When the list of invited players were announced, many players were confused as to why the [[LumiRank 2024.1]]'s top 3 players -- {{Sm|acola}}, {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, and {{Sm|Sonix}} -- were not invited, why there were no European players invited to the event, and why there were no qualifiers for the event.

Marss ultimately went 0-3 in his round robin, the fourth superregional-level major in a row where Marss failed to win a single set in his round robin. In addition, {{Sm|SHADIC}} also underperformed by going 0-3 in round robin despite being his round robin's first seed. Both players ultimately lost their first gauntlet set as well, with Marss losing to {{Sm|MuteAce}} 0-3 and SHADIC losing to drybie 2-3. Other notable sets include {{Sm|Zackray}}'s 3-1 victory over {{Sm|Sparg0}}--the first time Zackray has ever defeated Sparg0--and {{Sm|Rimu}}'s 3-2 victory over {{Sm|Kola}}, where Kola notably [[SD]]'d twice in the final game. | ||
