Format[edit]
On May 6th, 2019, it was announced that Smash 'N' Splash 5 would run a Waterfall Swiss bracket instead of Round Robin. Details about the Waterfall Swiss Bracket can be foundhere.
The change was met with some controversy. During the tournament, smashers such asCaptain L complained that they were sent into Division 3, the lowest division, despite only dropping one set.[1] Furthermore,Lui$ andAtomsk both went 6-0 in their pools, however Lui$ went to Division 1 while Atomsk went to Division 2, causing some backlash on Twitter; Lui$ and Atomsk later agreed to have a Best of 3 match to see who would enter Division 1, with Lui$ securing the victory.[2][3] Finally, some smashers were wrongfully disqualified due to complications that arose from the format.[4]
As a result of the unpopularity and controversies surrounding the format, Smash 'N' Splash announced that they would be reverting to a double elimination format for future events.[5]

Trivia[edit]
- Wizzrobe placed in top 8 for bothMelee andUltimate singles, making him the first player to do so for both respective games at a supermajor.
- Interestingly enough, Wizzy defeated bothTSM members (Tweek andLeffen) present in order to do so.
- This tournament marks the first time a Captain Falcon main won a supermajor event sinceIsai atMLG Los Angeles 2005 in 2005, and is only the second time where a Captain Falcon main had won a major event since then.
- This tournament also marks Wizzrobe's first ever major tournament win.
- This tournament tiesGENESIS 8 as Tweek's lowest placement in anUltimate tournament ever, placing outside of top 32 for a 33rd place finish.
- Coincidentally, this placement is tied with the lowest placement of the other player in contention for the title of the bestUltimate player,MkLeo (who placed 33rd atUmebura Japan Major 2019, which was also a supermajor).
- ChuDat andPewPewU's set lasted for 43 minutes, which included a literal tie during Game 4 (the match ended in a timeout in which both of their characters ended at 87% each at their final stock), which required a one-stock, 2 minute tiebreaker.
- Salem andMaister were supposed to do a first-to-10 money match on stream, but Salem unexpectedly backed out (unbeknownst to Maister). He was criticized for this byMkLeo live on stream duringNAKAT's interview with Grand Finals commentatorHungrybox. Numerous other players (including Maister) also criticized Salem onTwitter following the end of the tournament.
