The event became known for its innovations in tournament logistics. It was one of the few majors to feature a Swiss system of pools, requiring players to win three sets in order to advance to the final bracket. The tournament's side streams featured a quad-view layout displaying four sets at once, allowing five sets to be streamed at the same time for both games; this feature was subsequently adopted at many future ''Smash'' tournaments. | |||
