Pound 4 was the first tournament to have all of [[The Five Gods]] present. It was also the first US tournament for lots of European top players like {{Sm|Amsah}} or {{Sm|Overtriforce}}. For Sweden's {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Aniolas}}, who had previously attended [[GENESIS]], it was their 2nd US tournament.
