GSM was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Grande-Synthe, Hauts-de-France from December 21st-22nd, 2024.
Tournament summary
GSM served as the breakout event for the 27th seed, Japanese King K. Rool player Ball. After losing to Glutonny 3-0, Ball went on a 5-set losers run, defeating Xetroz, Ponflex ツ, and Eko all 3-0, and both Supahsemmie and NaetorU 3-1, before losing to Sisqui 3-1 to finish 7th, marking not only the best placement of Ball's career, but the first ever major top 8 for a solo King K. Rool player. Aside from Ball's run, there were little major upsets on the top seeds, and as such 5 of the 8 players seeded in the top 8 were able to enter top 8. However, #1 seed Raru greatly underperformed at the event, as he lost to #16 seed NaetorU 0-3 (upset factor 7) and Raflow 3-2 (upset factor 6) to place 13th. Though #4 seed SHADIC and #7 seed crêpe salée also failed to make top 8, they lost to players who were seeded in or near the top 8, and both ultimately placed 9th.
Despite taking up half of the top 8 slots, Japan ultimately lost all but one set where they fought against a non-Japanese player: both Ball and Asimo lost to Sisqui (1-3 and 2-3, respectively); Snow lost to both Lima and Raflow; and Doramigi lost to Lima 1-3 in Winners Final. Doramigi was able to win Japan's sole set against a non-Japanese player by defeating Raflow 3-1, which ended Raflow's 7-set Losers run where he notably eliminated Raru, crêpe salée 3-2, Glutonny 3-0, Snow, and Sisqui 3-0. However, Doramigi then lost the runback against Lima 1-3. As such, Lima won the first major of his Ultimate career as well as his second major victory of his entire Smash career, with GSM place six years after he won the Smash 4 event at EVO 2018, and therefore became the seventeenth player to have a major win in more than one Smash game. This also marked the second major victory from a Bayonetta player that year.
