==Tournament summary==
===''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''===
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
By far the most notable performance of the event was #8 seed {{Sm|Axe}}'s lengthy Losers run. After being upset by #9 seed {{Sm|S2J}}, Axe went on a seven-set Losers run, eliminating players such as {{Sm|Zain}}, {{Sm|aMSa}}, and {{Sm|Plup}}, before losing to {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in Grand Finals to place 2nd. Not only did he greatly outplace his seed, but this was Axe's best major performance of his career up to that point, and marked the beginning of what eventually became the best season of his career. Alongside Axe, #4 seed {{Sm|Mang0}} also had a lengthy Losers run. After being upset by #61 seed {{Sm|Magi}} 1-2 (upset factor 8), Mang0 tore through the Losers bracket, which includes defeating {{Sm|iBDW}} 3-1, {{Sm|SFAT}} 3-0, {{Sm|Trif}} 3-1, and S2J 3-1 before losing to {{Sm|aMSa}} 0-3 to place 5th, falling just one place short of his seed.
Conversely, many other high seeds who were upset early were not as fortunate as the two. Most notably, #5 seed {{Sm|Mew2King}} was also upset relatively early by #28 seed Trif 2-3 (upset factor 6); however, Mew2King was eliminated immediately after by #16 seed {{Sm|Bananas}} 2-3 (upset factor 3) to place 33rd, marking the worst placement of his entire ''Melee'' career (ignoring forfeits). Several other notable underperformances include #24 seed {{Sm|Shroomed}} losing to #233 seed {{Sm|JBash}} 0-2 (upset factor 7) and #56 seed {{Sm|htwa}} (upset factor 3) 0-2 for 97th, and #15 seed {{Sm|ARMY}} losing to #242 seed {{Sm|Violence}} 1-2 (upset factor 8) and #146 seed {{Sm|mvlvchi}} 0-2 (upset factor 7) for 129th. These results were also the worst placements for both players at a major event.
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
As the first supermajor of the game's competitive play, the singles event featured over 2,000 entrants, becoming the [[List of largest Smash tournaments#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate_2|largest ''Ultimate'' tournament up to that point]], shattering the previous record holder, {{Trn|Umebura SP}}, by over 1,300 entrants. This record would hold for half a year until {{Trn|EVO 2019}} would shatter it as well. Alongside the event's large entrants count, many strong players from around the world were in attendance. Most notable among these international players was {{Sm|Zackray}}, a prodigy who was a contender for the best player in the world and whose international debut was at this event. Finally, many ''Melee'' players also competed in the ''Ultimate'' event, including all of the [[Five Gods]] aside from {{Sm|PPMD}}. Most ''Melee'' players failed to place higher than 97th, though {{Sm|Leffen}} had a notable run to 17th, defeating {{Sm|WaDi}} along the way.
The biggest upsets of the event on a top-level ''Smash 4'' player were on #45 seed {{Sm|Elegant}}, who lost to #557 seed {{Sm|Geez}} 1-2 (upset factor 8) and #1,268 seed {{Sm|Gidy}} 0-2 (upset factor) to place 193rd, marking his worst performance in any ''Smash'' game. Other notable ''Smash 4'' players upset fairly early include #14 seed {{Sm|tamim}}, formerly known as Mistake, who lost to #142 seed {{Sm|Kofi}} 1-2 (upset factor 7) and #78 seed {{Sm|Seagull Joe}} 1-2 (upset factor 5) to place 97th; and #31 seed {{Sm|Maister}}, who lost 1-2 to both #98 {{Sm|NovaPixl}} and #127 seed {{Sm|Shoe}} (both upset factor 4) to place 129th, marking the worst placement of his ''Smash'' career. Finally, the top 2 seeds both failed to make top 8, with #1 seed {{Sm|Tweek}} losing to #17 seed {{Sm|ESAM}} 2-3 (upset factor 8) and #6 seed {{Sm|Dabuz}} 0-3 (upset factor 4) to place 9th, and #2 seed {{Sm|Nairo}} losing to #18 seed {{Sm|Cosmos}} 2-1 (upset factor 7) and #32 seed {{Sm|CaptainZack}} 1-3 (upset factor 8) to place 17th.
The tournament was ultimately won by the #3 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}}. After he lost to {{Sm|Samsora}} 2-3 in Winners Semi-Finals, he was able to claw his way through the Losers bracket, defeating {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} 3-2, {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-1, and Samsora in the runback 3-2, before double-eliminating {{Sm|VoiD}} 3-1 in both sets to win the event. He used a mix of {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}} throughout his run, and as such this marked the first major wins for both characters, as well as the only major won by an Ike player.
====Seeding Controversy====
A week before the tournament, many people complained about the perceived-low seeding of many players, especially European players such as {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|cyve}}. Even after GENESIS 6 announced bracket feedback, many still complained that the seeding remained inaccurate. In response to these complaints, {{Sm|Leffen}} messaged GENESIS 6's seeders, telling them to change the seeds. The insuing discussion resulted in several statements which Leffen found rude or offensive and posted to [[Twitter]]. One particular statement from seeder ALT, who said that "if 500 penguins entered a tournament in antarctica and i won it should i be a top 10 seed?",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20190127192017/https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1089375754205446145|title=Penguins quote}}</ref> resulted in massive backlash on Twitter, with many complaining to GENESIS 6 to fire their seeders. In response to all this backlash, {{Sm|Bear}} has stated that he was working on adjusting the seeding, and apologized for the rude behavior some seeders have shown.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1089570501498785792|title=Bear's response}}</ref> The seeding was subsequently redone by a new seeding team and ALT was removed from the seeding team in the PGStats discord, though the rest of the original seeding team went on to seed majors such as {{Trn|CEO 2019}}, {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, {{Trn|The Big House 9}}, and {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} without controversy.
As a result of the drama, the penguins comment became a running joke at the event, with Smashers such as Leffen and Bear changing their profile picture into penguins, and Bear promising to wear a penguin onesie at GENESIS 6.<ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1089574684599799808</ref> Even [[Nintendo]] joined in, with the Nintendo UK VS Twitter account tweeting "Best of luck to all the European Super #SmashBrosUltimate players at @Genesis_Smash this weekend!" with a picture of four {{SSBU|King Dedede}}s on [[Battlefield form]] [[Summit]].<ref>https://twitter.com/NintendoUKVS/status/1091380253539352576</ref>

==Seeding Controversy==
A week before the tournament, many people started to complain about the terrible seeding of many players, especially European players such as {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|cyve}}. Even after GENESIS 6 announced bracket feedback, many still complained that the seeding was inaccurate and should be redone. In response to these complaints, {{Sm|Leffen}} had messaged GENESIS 6's seeders, telling them to change the seeds. However, not only did the seeders refuse, but they also insulted the European Smash scene - infamously comparing them to penguins - and other smashers such as {{Sm|NAKAT}}. <ref>https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1089375754205446145</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1089379682875785217</ref> Seeder ALT messaged on Discord "so if 500 penguins entered a tournament in antarctica and i won it should i be a top 10 seed?" This has created massive backlash on Twitter, with people complaining to GENESIS 6 to fire their seeders. In response to all this backlash, {{Sm|Bear}} has stated that he was working on adjusting the seeding, and apologized for the rude behavior the seeders have shown. <ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1089570501498785792</ref>
As a result of the drama, the penguins insult have since become an internet meme, with Smashers such as Leffen and Bear changing their profile picture into penguins, and Bear promising to wear a penguin onesie at GENESIS 6. <ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1089574684599799808</ref> Even Nintendo joined in, with the Nintendo UK VS Twitter account tweeting "Best of luck to all the European Super #SmashBrosUltimate players at @Genesis_Smash this weekend!" with a picture of four [[King Dedede (SSBU)|King Dededes]] on [[Battlefield form]] [[Summit]].<ref>https://twitter.com/NintendoUKVS/status/1091380253539352576</ref>
