MkLeo won the event, beating {{Sm|ApolloKage}} in Winners' Quarters, {{Sm|Raflow}} in Winners' Finals, and Sparg0 in Winners' Semifinals and Grand Finals. This was notably his first major win since {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} one year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since {{Trn|Wavedash 2023}} eight months prior. This was also the third major of 2024 with at least one of the [[Four Horsemen]] in attendance that was won by someone outside of the Four Horsemen. Raflow placed 3rd while being the #9 seed, only losing to MkLeo and Sparg0. Bloom4Eva placed 4th, his first Top 4 at a major since {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2022}} over a year prior. KID placed 5th as the #29 seed, upsetting {{Sm|Oryon}} and MKBigBoss to make Winners' side of Top 8. Though Neo won six sets through Losers' side, he was defeated by Sparg0 at 5th place. Oryon defeated #6 seed ApolloKage 3-2 (upset factor 4) before losing to Bloom4Eva at 7th place. #5 seed Sisqui would be upset by both #12 seed MKBigBoss and #31 seed MazeBeans to be eliminated at 17th place. #23 seed {{Sm|Flow}} upset #4 seed Marss 3-1 (upset factor 5), eliminating him at 17th place.
On the second day, KID continued his strong run by defeating {{Sm|Oryon}} 3-1 and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 3-2 to enter top 8 Winner's side, the furthest a {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} player had went at a major. On the Loser's side, both Neo and Tarik managed to make strong Loser runs to make it into top 8, with Neo going game 5 against {{Sm|AndresFn}} and {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} while Tarik mostly cruised through his bracket; both players then fought each other in top 8, with Neo coming out on top, and Neo ultimately placed 5th. On the other hand, {{Sm|Sisqui}} was notably eliminated at 17th, losing to {{Sm|MKBigBoss}} 0-3 and {{Sm|MazeBeans}} 2-3, tying {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}} as his worst European major placement. In addition, {{Sm|Marss}} was also eliminated at 17th by {{Sm|Flow|p=France}}, marking Marss's first double-digit placement since {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}}.  
 
In top 8, KID's run was ended by {{Sm|Raflow}} 3-1 while MkLeo defeated Sparg0 3-2, allowing the two to face-off in a runback from {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023}}. MkLeo ultimately won 3-2, moving on to Grand Finals. A notable event took place during game 3 of the set: when the two were on their second stock at low percent, Raflow's controller disconnected. Although MkLeo requested the match to go on, the tournament organizers had Raflow lose a stock, and he ultimately lost the game. Following the set, MkLeo defeated Sparg0 in the runback 3-1, winning his first major since {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} a year prior, and his first B+ tier or higher win since {{Trn|Wavedash 2023}} eight months prior
