==GlitchGate Controversy== | |||
A week before the tournament started, [[Panda Global|PGStats]] determined that Glitch 7 would be a S-Tier tournament due to the number of currently-ranked PGRU players attending the tournament. However, Stroder would disqualify himself from the tournament, directly affecting Glitch 7's score and dropping it below the S-Tier threshold of 2,400 points. As a result, PGStats announced that Glitch 7 would be demoted into an A-Tier.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pgstats/status/1173443216768720896|title=PGStat's Announcement}}</ref> This decision, which some have dubbed as "GlitchGate", caused some controversy, with people pointing out how {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} kept its S-Tier status even after having over 50 disqualifications, which would have also lowered it into an A-Tier.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Blakebeats/status/1173445365581975553|title=MomoCon 2019 argument}}</ref> | |||

GlitchGate Controversy[edit]
A week before the tournament started, PGStats determined that Glitch 7 would be a S-Tier tournament due to the number of currently-ranked PGRU players attending the tournament. However, Stroder would disqualify himself from the tournament, directly affecting Glitch 7's score and dropping it below the S-Tier threshold of 2,400 points. As a result, PGStats announced that Glitch 7 would be demoted into an A-Tier.[3] This decision, which some have dubbed as "GlitchGate", caused some controversy, with people pointing out how MomoCon 2019 kept its S-Tier status even after having over 50 disqualifications, which would have also lowered it into an A-Tier.[4]
In response to the controversy, PracticalTAS explained that counting disqualifications for normal entrants was extremely difficult and potentially inaccurate due to how many are listed as 0-2 instead.[5] Furthermore, suar linked and agreed to a post where another player stated that tier values were simply a title, and that how much the tournament weighted was more important. [6]
This event is likely the reason behind the following Spring 2020 PGRU season adding a 1-DQ buffer to S-tier tournaments, along with counting disqualifications in free-to-enter tournaments.
Trivia[edit]
- ESAM's victory in Ultimate singles at Glitch 7 notably coincided with Ash Ketchum's victory at the Manalo Conference in the Pokémon anime. Both are known for using Pikachu.
- Additionally, ESAM's victory in Ultimate singles at Glitch 7 is the first major tournament win of his career. 2019 also featured the first major win of Melee's best Pikachu main, Axe, at Smash Summit 8.
- The tournament was named after a notable glitch in Super Mario Bros. where clipping through the pipe at the end of World 1-2 and going down the first pipe of the Warp Zone can access the glitched level known as the "Minus World" or "World -1".
