As a result of the regional format, only the best eight players from the qualifiers will be moving into the regionals later this year, with six of them coming from the open double-elimination bracket and the rest being the top two players in the Last Chance Qualifier bracket for those players that were knocked out just in the initial Open Qualifiers.

SWT North America North-East Qualifiers Comments

Best Match Played/Watched?

The best match I played from the qualifiers was probably game 2 vs. Riddles because I made a big comeback and made a cool play to end the match.

ArmadilloForth place finisher

The best match I played would probably be my LCQ top cut set vs. Angel, favorite to watch from the Northeast qualifiers would have to be the main bracket grands with Tweek and Syrup.

NaitosharpLQC Qualifier Runnerup

The best match I’ve played was definitely me versus tweek. I felt such a huge skill gap, and it was the biggest challenge I’ve faced in this game, and it was really fun for my friends to watch.

SyrupSecond Place Finisher

I didn't watch much, I was focused on prepping for my sets, the most fun was vs. Sharp because of the dynamics of a counter pick war

How it feels when Leon Back airs you.

On the topic of what they will need to improve going forward they had this to say:

I need to get my Pyra/Mythra up to the same level as my Lucario and just improve overall.

Armadillo

Transitioning Min Min play to offline, she was released during the online age of smash

Dabuz

I'm already getting ready to practice my offline ledgetraps, I felt like it was always something I wanted to work on the most and although I got better at it online, it is gonna be much much different when I play offline.

Naitosharp

I need to polish my offline game plan in general because it’s been over a year since my last local.

Syrup

Clean cut KO by Dabuz

The biggest threat in the regional later this year?

I’m the most worried about Epic_Gabriel because I think we’re seeded to fight, and he would mess me up if I don’t practice a lot.

Syrup

I'm probably the most worried about Tweek and Rivers offline just because I tend to struggle versus Wolf and Diddy a lot.

Naitosharp

I'm most worried about Syrup because he plays Ness and Lucario struggles very hard in that matchup. My Pyra/Mythra are also not yet at a high enough level to consistently beat him.

Armadillo

High Level Gameplay
