The main bracket saw several notable runs from players who were not expected to make it as far as they did. This included #56 seed {{Sm|Leaf|p=Japan}}, who after being upset by Yn saw a strong Loser's run eliminating #41 seed {{Sm|Eim}} 2-1, #53 seed {{Sm|takera}} 3-2, #36 seed {{Sm|BassMage}} 3-0, and #13 seed {{Sm|Maister}} 3-2 to place 17th, the best Robin | The main bracket saw several notable runs from players who were not expected to make it as far as they did.

On the other hand, a few other notable players failed to meet their seed by a notable margin. This included Asimo, who lost to #44 seed {{Sm|Akio}} 2-3 (upset factor 4) for 49th; #19 seed Toriguri, who fell in Zackray's Loser's run for 49th; and Hurt, who placed 9th, his first sub-top 8 placement of the season. On the other hand, this marked #11 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s best run at a Japanese major up to that point, as he was able to place his seed after losing to {{Sm|Shuton}} 0-3 (extending Shuton's game record over MkLeo to 12-0) and #23 seed {{Sm|Akakikusu}}. MkLeo ultimately became the highest-placing international player at the tournament, with Sparg0, {{Sm|Glutonny}}, and {{Sm|Zomba}} placing 13th (Glutonny notably losing the runback against {{Sm|Carmelo}} while {{Sm|Zomba}} was reverse 3-0'd by both {{Sm|Raru}} and {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}}); Maister and {{Sm|Kinaji}} placing 25th; BassMage placing 33rd; and U placing 49th. | ||
In top 8, {{Sm|acola}} lost his first set of the season, losing 1-3 to {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} in Winner's Semi-Finals. acola easily ran through the rest of the bracket to meet Miya in Grand Finals, where he won both sets 3-1 and 3-2, winning his second "premier" event of the season. Both players popped off at the end of the set, with many spectators raising their concern for Miya's popoff as he seemingly hit his head on the table before falling down. It was later revealed he only scratched his arm in the incident. | In top 8, {{Sm|acola}} lost his first set of the season, losing 1-3 to {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} in Winner's Semi-Finals. acola easily ran through the rest of the bracket to meet Miya in Grand Finals, where he won both sets 3-1 and 3-2, winning his second "premier" event of the season.
