As the circuit was announced during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no qualifier tournaments for ''Melee'' while all ''Ultimate'' qualifiers were held online. This has led to a negative reaction from several top players such as MkLeo and Tweek, who noted how unreliable ''Ultimate''{{'}}s online netcode was.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Mkleosb/status/1363264527878430722|title=MkLeo's opinion on SWT 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TweekSsb/status/1363258144621740034|title=Tweek's opinion on SWT 2021}}</ref> Indeed, several matches were fought with a distance of over 2,000 kilometers between the players while several controversies related to connection problems popped up throughout the qualifiers, most notably in tournaments that spanned an entire continent such as [[Tournament:SWT: South America Ultimate Online Qualifier#Controversy|South America]] and [[Tournament:SWT: Europe Ultimate Online Qualifier#Controversies|Europe]].

On June 21st, 2021, the tournament dates of the second phase tournaments were moved around to accommodate the varying progress of the pandemic in each region. Due to the severe status of the pandemic in South America, the in-person tournament for the region was canceled. Instead, {{Sm|Chape}} and {{Sm|HP}} were chosen as the South American ''Melee'' finalists while the [[Tournament:SWT: South America Ultimate Regional Finals|''Ultimate'' qualifier]] was changed to online.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SmashWorldTour/status/1407055454954524676|title=Smash World Tour date changes}}</ref> This announcement has since resulted in disappointment within the South American community.

Notably, due to the severe status of the pandemic in South America, the in-person tournament for the region was cancelled. Instead, {{Sm|Chape}} and {{Sm|HP}} were chosen as the South American ''Melee'' finalists while the [[Tournament:SWT: South America Ultimate Regional Finals|''Ultimate'' qualifier]] was changed to online. This announcement led to an outcry of disappointment within the South American community, with many South American players accusing Smash World Tour and VGBootCamp for sidelining a community that saw seldom national representation. Amidst [[Tournament:SWT: South America Ultimate Regional Finals#Pre-recorded sets controversy|the controversy surrounding the final]], GimR posted a response clearing up the situation, specifically noting their efforts to ensure tournament matches ran as smoothly as possible and the difficulty it took for South Americans to obtain a United States visa, especially during the pandemic.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/ow1kbl/south_america_deserves_better/h7dyosq/|title=GimR's response}}</ref>
 
All the qualified players from the {{Trn|SWT: East Asia South Ultimate Online Qualifier}} were unable to attend SWT: East Asia Ultimate Regional Finals due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. As a result, eight competitors from {{Trn|SWT: Japan Ultimate Online Qualifier}} were announced to take their place while {{Sm|XIFL}} took the sixth qualifying spot, bringing the total number of qualifying spots for the finals to five.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SmashWorldTour/status/1463684319789080579|title=SWT: East Asia Ultimate Regional Finals update}}</ref>

The Smash World Tour 2021 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament circuit organized by the team behind VGBootCamp.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the circuit ran online qualifiers for both games; however, the regional qualifiers and finale were offline. The pot prize started at $150,000 ($75,000 for each game), with a merch shop to increase it throughout the year.

FormatEdit

 
Sub-regions of Smash World Tour 2021

"Phase One" was different between each game. For Melee, a panel of players determined 16 players to invite to each regional finale. Players were selected based upon several factors, including their performances in both 2020 and 2021 tournaments. For Ultimate, online qualifier tournaments were held in each region, with 8 or 16 players advancing to the regional qualifier.

"Phase Two" was mostly offline. Each region hosted a regional qualifier which determined the players sent to the finale, with the number of finale slots depending on the region. If qualified players were unable to attend, additional players were chosen based on their placement in the Last Chance Qualifier.

"Phase Three" was the finale, where the 32 qualified players of each game faced off offline. A Last Chance Qualifier was held for each game with the top 8 players qualifying for the finale,[1] bringing the total to 40 players for each game. If qualified players were unable to attend, additional players were chosen from their regional qualifier.

For the offline tournaments, players were required to pay for their own flights and hotel.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemicEdit

As the circuit was announced during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no qualifier tournaments for Melee while all Ultimate qualifiers were held online. This has led to a negative reaction from several top players such as MkLeo and Tweek, who noted how unreliable Ultimate's online netcode was.[2][3] Indeed, several matches were fought with a distance of over 2,000 kilometers between the players while several controversies related to connection problems popped up throughout the qualifiers, most notably in tournaments that spanned an entire continent such as South America and Europe.

As the circuit progressed, in order to accommodate the varying progress of the pandemic in each region, several tournament dates of the second phase tournaments were moved around:[4][5][6]

Notably, due to the severe status of the pandemic in South America, the in-person tournament for the region was cancelled. Instead, Chape and HP were chosen as the South American Melee finalists while the Ultimate qualifier was changed to online. This announcement led to an outcry of disappointment within the South American community, with many South American players accusing Smash World Tour and VGBootCamp for sidelining a community that saw seldom national representation. Amidst the controversy surrounding the final, GimR posted a response clearing up the situation, specifically noting their efforts to ensure tournament matches ran as smoothly as possible and the difficulty it took for South Americans to obtain a United States visa, especially during the pandemic.[11]

All the qualified players from the SWT: East Asia South Ultimate Online Qualifier were unable to attend SWT: East Asia Ultimate Regional Finals due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. As a result, eight competitors from SWT: Japan Ultimate Online Qualifier were announced to take their place while XIFL took the sixth qualifying spot, bringing the total number of qualifying spots for the finals to five.[12]
