ThePGR v5 lists the world's top 50Super Smash Bros. for Wii Usmashers during the period of January through July 2018, as compiled byPG Stats. On November 10th, 2017, PGStats announced an official offseason along with the ending and beginning dates for PGR v4 and v5, respectively. The offseason lasts from December 4th, 2017 to January 18th, 2018, withGENESIS 5 being the first event of the regular PGR v5 season. As exceptions, three notable tournaments that had been scheduled prior to the offseason announcement were still counted as part of the PGR v5 season, those beingUmebura T.A.T., theSumabato Tokaigi Qualifiers 1, and2. With the release ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, it was confirmed thatCEO 2018 would be the last event of the season.
Methodology[edit]
While the Tournament Tier System returned, it again featured a number of notable changes, first announced ina blog post by PGStats memberPracticalTAS. Most significantly, prize pools now have no effect at all on tournament ratings. Individual tournament values were hidden, leaving only the broader tiers publicly visible. Certain tournaments with a consistent reputation of notability will now be given "pre-ratings" that serve as a bare minimum value, with the ability to rise above the pre-rating still possible. Finally, the general values necessary to reach each tier besides the C-tier were heightened; and the S+-tier was removed, with the S-tier taking its place and with a new A+-tier in between it and the A-tier.
