EGLX was {{Sm|Leffen}}'s first time competing in North America at a national since [[HTC Throwdown]], but he placed a disappointing 7th place, losing to {{Sm|Axe}} in winners and {{Sm|Duck}} in losers'. Meanwhile, {{Sm|Hungrybox}} dominated {{Sm|Mango}} in a quick 3-0 grand finals to take the tournament, showing his proficiency with Jigglypuff in the matchup against Fox that is widely seen as unfavorable for the former. {{Sm|Armada}} also dropped out of the tournament early on, placing 17th, as he stated that he did not feel well enough to compete. The event was criticized for many problems, including issues with the stream quality and the usage of bright lights that potentially obstructed the views of the players. | EGLX was {{Sm|Leffen}}'s first time competing in North America at a national since [[HTC Throwdown]], but he placed a disappointing 7th place, losing to {{Sm|Axe}} in winners and {{Sm|Duck}} in losers'.

{{Sm|Iceninja}} notably placed 5th in ''Smash 4'' singles, using only {{SSB4|Palutena}}, and was the highest placing Ontarian in the bracket, defeating {{Sm|Holy}}, {{Sm|Logic}}, and his doubles partner {{Sm|Poke}}. {{Sm|SuperGirlKels}} once again places very high at 4th, being the highest placing female smasher, sending Iceninja to losers bracket and eliminating Holy in an extremely close set. {{Sm|Ally}} lost to {{Sm|Mew2King}} 3-2 in winners finals, but dominated him 3-0 in losers finals and carried the momentum to take the first grand final set off of {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-0 before losing the second grand final set 3-0, netting 2nd place. | |||
