KoDoRiN wasn't even at the other tournament, either.)

Trivia

  • A tipsy Zain sandbagged in part of his round-robin pool with Roy and Jigglypuff.
  • This is the first national-level Melee tournament where Link was utilized to win the event, with Aklo notably defeating KoDoRiN in the second set of Grand Finals using only Link.
