Another controversy was in regard to the {{forwiiu}} round 2 singles pools, in which the [[tournament organizer]]s made mistakes concerning some matches, such as {{Sm|ESAM}} being pitted against {{Sm|Ito}} instead of {{Sm|DSS}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_Zan/status/823349961798496256</ref> and {{Sm|Earth}} against {{Sm|6WX}} instead of {{Sm|SS|p=Arizona}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_juddy96/status/823351049327149056</ref>. | Another controversy was in regard to the {{forwiiu}} round 2 singles pools, in which the [[tournament organizer]]s made mistakes concerning some matches, such as {{Sm|ESAM}} being pitted against {{Sm|Ito}} instead of {{Sm|DSS}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_Zan/status/823349961798496256</ref> and {{Sm|Earth}} against {{Sm|6WX}} instead of {{Sm|SS|p=Arizona}}<ref>https://twitter.com/PG_juddy96/status/823351049327149056</ref>. | ||
Perhaps most notably, it was discovered that the losers' eighths set between {{Sm|komorikiri}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, as well as the set between {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, were both played with a [[Damage Ratio]] of 0.9. While it remains unclear how the damage ratio was changed, many players argue that the competitive integrity of the event has been ruined due to the unusual circumstances of the matches. The [[tournament organizer]]s have faced criticism for failing to check the setups earlier to ensure the proper ruleset, and for forcing komorikiri and CaptainZack to only replay the final game of the set, instead of replaying the entirety of both sets. {{Sm|Dr. Z}} justified that by stating that, by starting a game, the player accepted the result of the previous one<ref>https://twitter.com/sheridactyls/status/823296620573790208</ref>. The TOs also claimed that the set between Dabuz and ZeRo was played with the correct settings<ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/823295513885687808</ref>, but it was later proven that it was not the case <ref>https://twitter.com/Ruben_dal/status/823301824237228034</ref>.
