==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*During the registration period, MAJOR UPSET reached the supermajor tier for ''Ultimate'' on the [[UltRank 2023]] methodology, leading to jokes that the tournament should be renamed to "SUPERMAJOR UPSET."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BackinBloodSSB/status/1633528199647748110|title=SUPERMAJOR UPSET}}</ref> Unfortunately due to several top player dropouts, the tournament's tier was dropped down.

**The organization was announced to be sold off the day afterwards, and Cody Schwab was dropped three days after the win.
*This tournament marked {{Sm|FatGoku}}'s final event as a competitor, as he had previously stated his plans to retire from competition in ''Melee'' singles afterwards.
*This tournament marks:
**the first time that {{Sm|MkLeo}} has lost an ''Ultimate'' major after starting Grand Finals in winner's side.
**the first time that MkLeo has lost an ''Ultimate'' event after starting Grand Finals in winner's since {{Trn|EGS Cup}}.
**the first time that MkLeo lost any ''Smash'' major from Grand Finals in winner's side since {{Trn|DreamHack Austin 2017}}.

Trivia[edit]

  • During the registration period, MAJOR UPSET reached the supermajor tier for Ultimate on the UltRank 2023 methodology, leading to jokes that the tournament should be renamed to "SUPERMAJOR UPSET."[2] Unfortunately, due to several top player dropouts, the tournament's tier was dropped down.
  • Major placed first in the Ganon Gauntlet singles bracket for Ultimate.
    • The tournament was not named after the player in actuality, despite him living in the same region.
  • Cody Schwab's first place finish in Melee singles marks Counter Logic Gaming's first major Melee tournament win.
    • The organization was announced to be sold off the day afterwards, and Cody Schwab was dropped three days after the win.
  • This tournament marked FatGoku's final event as a competitor, as he had previously stated his plans to retire from competition in Melee singles afterwards.
  • This tournament marks:
    • the first time that MkLeo has lost an Ultimate major after starting Grand Finals in winner's side.
    • the first time that MkLeo has lost an Ultimate event after starting Grand Finals in winner's since EGS Cup.
    • the first time that MkLeo lost any Smash major from Grand Finals in winner's side since DreamHack Austin 2017.
