Tournament summary
In the first round robin bracket, Agent went on a notable run defeating both Aklo and aMSa 3-2, though he failed to win any other set and placed in the bottom half of his round robin. aMSa himself greatly underperformed in his round robin, defeating only Soonsay and MOF and finishing last in his round robin. This unfortunate performance included a loss to BING, giving BING his second top 10 win of the SSBMRank 2024 season. Finally, Zain was able to win his runback against Aklo's Link 3-0, including pulling out Roy in the final game.
In the second round robin bracket, Mang0 chose not to take the event seriously as he had previously wanted to back out of the event in order to watch an Eagles game.[1] As such, he finished last in his round robin by losing every single set, including losing to Junebug, whom he had previously defeated at Supernova 2024 and Eggdog Invitational, and the 15th seed Bekvin; his sole game win was against Junebug. Mang0 ultimately disqualified out of the final bracket in Losers, becoming the only player at the event without a single set win. Junebug himself also notably defeated moky 3-2, giving moky his only loss in round robins, but disqualified from the final bracket in Losers as well due to illness.
