Trivia
- Cosmos, Light, Marss, Tweek, and Larry Lurr participated in both The Gimvitational and Smash 4 Boot Camp in December 2017, which were both 16-player invitationals held by VGBootCamp.
- VoiD, who was in The Gimvitational but dropped out due to health issues, was a player at Smash 4 Boot Camp too. Coincidentally, he was sick for part of that event.
- This marked the first offline singles tournament since SWT: Central America Ultimate Regional Finals where Sparg0 did not place in the top three, instead placing 7th.
