This event is known for {{Sm|Lui$}}'s surprising run to 3rd, marking the best major performance of his career. After losing to {{Sm|KEN}} 1-3 prior to top 24, he made a six-set losers run, including going to game five for all but two sets he fought in losers. This includes defeating {{Sm|MVD}} 3-2, {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-2, and {{Sm|KEN}} 3-2, before losing to {{sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} in a tense game 5 set. | |||
Outside of Lui$'s performance, however, the event featured little notable upsets on top players, and as such almost all the top 8 seeds made it into top 8. The sole exceptions were #4 seed {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, who had no plans on attending the event in the first place, and #8 seed {{Sm|Big D}}, who lost to #24 seed {{Sm|MFA}} 2-3 (upset factor 4) and #18 seed {{Sm|MVD}} 0-3 for 17th. The only other major upset in bracket was #42 seed {{Sm|Opsine}} defeating #12 seed {{Sm|Ouch!?}} 3-1 (upset factor 4). Conversely, this marked {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}}'s first North American top 8, after having failed to place higher than 9th at his last four North American events, and {{Sm|MVD}}'s first major top 8 since {{Trn|CEO 2022}}. | |||
