Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In a similar vein to its previous iteration, Ultimate singles had a large entrants count but only a handful of top 100 players, with only four of the most recent ranking's top 50 players in attendance and only one -- MuteAce -- being in the top 20. However due to the restructuring of the LumiRank 2023's methodology, the tournament was only ranked as a national on the LumiRank's TTS. This ranking stirred up controversy on Twitter; some players believed the high entrants count was suffice to consider the tournament a major, while other players pointed out how the entrants number was misleading due to the lack of top-level talent in attendance.
Several notable upsets took place on the first day of singles, including three players seeded in the top 8: #18 seed ATATA upset #2 seed ApolloKage 3-1 (upset factor 7), #36 seed Sonido upset #4 seed Chase 3-2 (upset factor 7), and #74 seed HammerBro upset #7 seed Goblin 3-2 (upset factor 7). In addition, #20 seed Skar fell to #109 seed Lagiakai 2-1 (upset factor 5) and #212 seed ADDICT 2-0 (upset factor 7) to place 129th.
The second day of singles saw strong runs from both #16 seed Doorstop and #19 seed omega. After falling to MuteAce, Doorstop defeated Chase 3-2 (upset factor 4) and #6 seed Lima 3-2 (upset factor 3) to place 5th. Similarly, omega defeated Lima 3-1 (upset factor 3) and #10 seed 3-1 IcyMist before falling to #5 seed Aaron 1-3 and #1 seed MuteAce 0-3 to place 3rd. Conversely, ApolloKage fell to #8 seed LeoN 1-3 (upset factor 4) to place 9th.
Top 8 saw MuteAce fall to Aaron 2-3 (upset factor 4). However in Loser's bracket MuteAce won every single game he played, including 3-0ing Aaron in both sets of Grand Finals, to win the event.
