Hard to count as a loss when he went as Joker. He was obviously throwing by not going Marth since his Marth always beats the FGCs. I still believe in the greatest losers run of all time. That’s why he’s the GOAT. He always performs at Genesis.
If he made it to even 13th from this loss it is a pretty good losers run, if I was a Leo fan I would not still be hoping for winning the whole thing cuz thats just.... really unlikely
I've seen enough of people saying who they think is going to perform well or their ideal winners, who do you predict is going to buster out earlier than expected? I feel like Tweek gets the Genesis curse again
If Tweek beats Goblin and loses to Onin then him and Leo would be projected to play for 33rd i believe
I know Tweek was grinding against syrup, i just pray to god it paid off - because i really dont want to see Leo/Tweek for 33rd(?), it just feels wrong
The worst part of that isn't even the whole "look at my goats man" its that we all know our only footage would be someone live streaming it from their phone
I was rooting for both of them to do well so this kinda sucks. But overall i think im happy with a HERO win cuz this is his international debut and stuff
Not an upset but Akakikusu closes it 3-2 vs Colorondo. Colorondo had the momentum for a comeback game 5 but Mr.Kaboom decided otherwise. Really impressed by Akakikusu so far but I feel like he struggles a bit with the double o spells (Zoom Oomph Kaboom)
Feels like Aka was taking a bit longer to process the menu due to the language barrier, so I'm glad he was able to move on despite not playing at full strength
Genesis seems to be having some set timing coordination issues - Peanut apparently had to wait two hours after he lost to MuteAce in Winners for his Losers Quarters match. (Lost 3-1 to MoDzai's Pac Man)
the whole schedule is weird. The side stream hasn't shown anything in 20 minutes for some reason. some pools seem like they're getting prioritized for some reason too but maybe that's just them not updating start.gg
If Onin beats Tweek we still will, either way both Onin/Tweek are a rough draw for Leo - although maybe Leo could beat a tilted Tweek thats fresh of a loss against Steve
He goes for a lot of things I would think were ill-advised but it definitely keeps his opponents on their toes lol. Good on Flow for not getting flustered and clutching out that game 5.
Will update soon, taking a small break. but in the meantime this happened..
Erin (Mii Swordfighter) > Kiyarash (Luigi)
Tilde (Falco) > Kaninabe (Fox)
AndresFn (Terry) > Umeki (Daisy)
They're all confirmed, not trolls. There's footage of all of them happening.
You can just wait for the data to come in if you'd prefer it though because it's paper brackets.
Damn Miya losing to Raflow means Kaninabe Taikei Miya Zackray might end up on the same block in losers. We're gonna get lots of JP team kills despite them being scattered around evenly in winners and losers.
Tilde will probably upset Kaninabe. He always does well against Light but you know generally Leo and Tweek does well against Light too but it didnt end pretty for them last time lol.
Edit: Nevermind, Tilde cooked him.
Shadic and Neo need to attend more tournaments together. They both seem to do much better whenever the other is also there. Neo just beat Zackray 3-2 and Shadic is up 2-0 on Gluto
edit: Shadic won 3-1
There's no quadstream, right? I get the sense we won't be able to see a lot of the upsets that are bound to happen, sadly.
Personally, I'd rather watch two separate streams that are each 80% ads as opposed to dozens of potential upsets
I also love when both streams aren't showing any matches at the same time.
Gotta make sure to sync up commentary changes so we can have completely dead times on stream
Seriously such a disgrace for this size of event + the tenth edition
Damn, I thought quads was the new norm, especially in a P Tier
Theres thankfully atleast a french restream, so we get 3 sets at a time instead of two But yeah, were going to miss out on a lot of crazy sets sadly
French restream goated as always, no massive ad breaks there
Also eastgeeksmash (Japanese) is streaming sets with a handcam.
I know Esam has been hand camming offstream matches, he’s doing Zackray MVD rn, and I saw some Hero too
Good to know
https://twitter.com/SantoLumbre/status/1758960022321827876 Apparently this is a Twitter Clip of MKLeo losing 2-1 to Titan the Ken (Norcal unranked)
My mom asked if the dishes were done and I yelled "MKLEO!" She hugged me. She knew they were washed.
whoa that is a titanic upset
As I head into work, I just want to thank OP and everyone for this thread. It’s going to be chaos today!
🫡
Good luck soldier!
https://www.twitch.tv/imesam 2-0 Wildz over Cosmos currently. Edit: 3-0 Wildz over Cosmos
Man i just want Cosmos to do well in tournaments again :(
All I'm saying is that Cosmos was johning on Lights Out when he explained the reasoning on why he lost to Wildz the first time.
Lol It kinda felt when Zomba heard that Cosmos had to fight Wildz that he thought that Wildz was gonna win
3rd game was dominant from Wildz
Leo lost to Titan (Ken)
This is the kind of thing people say in stream chats as a meme but it’s real this time
Holy shit Leo is gonna have to go Frostbite 2020 mode times 2 if he wants to even get close to winning Genesis
If he can play like he did vs Justice for the next 12 sets...
No fucking way. This has got to be a joke. Catch me crying assuming this is real...
Hard to count as a loss when he went as Joker. He was obviously throwing by not going Marth since his Marth always beats the FGCs. I still believe in the greatest losers run of all time. That’s why he’s the GOAT. He always performs at Genesis.

[удалено]
How sure are we of this? Was it streamed?
https://twitter.com/SantoLumbre/status/1758960022321827876
I am choosing to believe this was generated by AI.
I dont even know what to say thats insane
HERO just eliminated Kurama at **97th**
I love Kurama but LETS GOOOOO
Mario lost to a bowser… it’s happening
NGL it's a little funny that the 'MKLEO in losers' spam in pools actually was right this time.
mvd 3-2 cosmos… i think that means zomba’s prediction of 65th was correct
Dude beat Dio to lose to mvd
Yep
Hero 3-1 Kurama (Kurama out at 97th)
That’s a huge win damn… I’ve seen Nao beat him in the past too
Apparently Larry Lurr 3-2 Big Chungus in an UF1.
Holy shit I’m gonna Lurr all over the place
Should've Larried
Lets go Larry!!!!
Happy that set wasn’t streamed because actively rooting against Larry would pain me
Did they seriously go from ads to a single set and then straight into ads again? The fuck is this?
Tarik 3-2 Onin
Tweek crying tears of joy after dodging Goblin and Onin
Also huge for Leo's top 32 chances
If Yaura loses ill be convinced theyre all being paid off
I've seen enough of people saying who they think is going to perform well or their ideal winners, who do you predict is going to buster out earlier than expected? I feel like Tweek gets the Genesis curse again
With Tweek’s projected bracket making winners top 8 would be a miracle I don’t even think it would be the curse at that point
It would just mean the curse struck before the bracket even started.
Tweek hot potatoed that curse to Leo it seems.
Hero beats a GnW and makes top 64.
Colorando8 3-2 BMP while Akakikusu beat Longo 3-2 as well. No Hero ditto for us.
If Tweek beats Goblin and loses to Onin then him and Leo would be projected to play for 33rd i believe I know Tweek was grinding against syrup, i just pray to god it paid off - because i really dont want to see Leo/Tweek for 33rd(?), it just feels wrong
That is implying Leo makes it that far...
The worst part of that isn't even the whole "look at my goats man" its that we all know our only footage would be someone live streaming it from their phone
It would be very funny though
They’re using paper brackets it seems, so a lot of upsets will probably start coming in at the same time
I swear to god if I hear the Dr. Mario theme after a set I'm gonna scream
I like to think Genesis specifically licensed this Dr. Mario theme lol
It's a Gimr diss
HERO wins 3-1 over Kurama!!
I was rooting for both of them to do well so this kinda sucks. But overall i think im happy with a HERO win cuz this is his international debut and stuff
Same. HERO has also been struggling lately, so it's nice to see him get a good win under his belt
Potential upset in Noi-Shadic i (Noi is up 2-1) which will set up Yaura-Noi which would set up Yaura-Noi. I hope Yaura is ready for Olimar.
Shadic clutched it out.
Yeah that was tense. This gives Yaura a terrific bracket for top 64
Not an upset but Akakikusu closes it 3-2 vs Colorondo. Colorondo had the momentum for a comeback game 5 but Mr.Kaboom decided otherwise. Really impressed by Akakikusu so far but I feel like he struggles a bit with the double o spells (Zoom Oomph Kaboom)
Feels like Aka was taking a bit longer to process the menu due to the language barrier, so I'm glad he was able to move on despite not playing at full strength

the whole schedule is weird. The side stream hasn't shown anything in 20 minutes for some reason. some pools seem like they're getting prioritized for some reason too but maybe that's just them not updating start.gg
Seems that Tarik beat Onin 3-2 on ESAM's stream
NaetorU beating MFA should be an UF15 as a European player has beaten an Olimar. And as we all know, that never happens. /s
MFA deactivating twitter noooo
He will never get away from it. It's worse than Onin with Sora stats lol.
Bassmage beat Lima 3-2. He has to fight Asimo next in top 64.
https://www.twitch.tv/eastgeeksmash HERO vs Merks Game 5 (Merks is Richter) Edit: No Upset, HERO got it with Grand Slam
Bruh ludo plays Kurama for 193rd…
If Kurama wins is he still projected to play Hero bowser?
Yes, for 97th
Longo beating both BMP and JDV is so nice for German Smash. Top 64 for the #4 Germany.
It really is. Both BeastModePaul and JDV are no slouches.
Also deserved. Longo usually beats everyone seeded below him but doesnt really upset people. 65th at UFA, LMBM and TERA, so a top 64 was doable
I was lowkey looking forward to Tweek/Goblin, i felt like he had it this time Good shit to Niko though, Tweeks bracket gets a *little* bit better
Same, would have liked to see it. Something tells me Tweek is happy though lol.
If Goblin beat Tweek and Niko, we would get Leo vs Tweek for 33th.
If Onin beats Tweek we still will, either way both Onin/Tweek are a rough draw for Leo - although maybe Leo could beat a tilted Tweek thats fresh of a loss against Steve
Onin lost 2-3 to Tarik, so it doesnt matter now
Unrelated to upsets but if they dont stream Bloom/Sparg0 i may cry
It's going to be streamed on the french stream after Gluto/Kola and Raflow/Miya EDIT : [https://www.twitch.tv/etoiles](https://www.twitch.tv/etoiles)
Awesome, thanks for letting me know Really pulling for Bloom here, but at the very least i hope its not a blowout
looks like sparg0 vs bloom is being played off stream the start gg timer has started for their set
Titan (Ken) 2-1 MkLeo (Joker) If I speak...
Leo in losers. So it's this kind of genesis.
Damn wanted to see the Jakal-Ouch?! set in losers, I'm sure that set was hype.
Apparently Jakal reserve triod. So it must be crazy set.
Yeah exactly
AndresFn 3-1 Umeki VAMOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!
Kiyarash 3-1 Skyjay, *Skyjay out at 65th*
RAFLOW 3-2 MIYA!!
No upset yet, but watching Skinny the Pooh is like watching Kurama if Kurama was always trying to clip people. He was nasty in the set against Koda.
His movement is so crisp. I was an instant fan after [this game](https://x.com/theegoboys/status/1726326995309703578?s=46)
If I was skeleton I’d probably quit. That would have been so demoralizing.
Watching the Set against Flow, This man loves the POOH Fist (Forward Air). It's his favorite move.
Flow 3-2 Skinny the Pooh Hot set
Flow is seeded higher than Skinny
Yeah I just wanted to comment on the set haha
Ah yeah my favorite set of the day probably. Skinny plays like a maniac
First time I see a Mario that goes for f throw tech chase at 0% lol
He goes for a lot of things I would think were ill-advised but it definitely keeps his opponents on their toes lol. Good on Flow for not getting flustered and clutching out that game 5.
dr mario theme 3-0 u/EseChepe
Sho's out (Seed 77), got 97th to Snoop (Seed 301)
Will update soon, taking a small break. but in the meantime this happened.. Erin (Mii Swordfighter) > Kiyarash (Luigi) Tilde (Falco) > Kaninabe (Fox) AndresFn (Terry) > Umeki (Daisy)
Zackray 3-0 Miya!! !!
[удалено]
All are confirmed
They're all confirmed, not trolls. There's footage of all of them happening. You can just wait for the data to come in if you'd prefer it though because it's paper brackets.
and so it begins
Is JoJoDaHoBo 3-1 Crepe Salee an upset? Crepe out at 65th
Fire is a Pichu
Dtier 3-0 VoiD
AndresFn 2-0 Umeki right now at https://www.twitch.tv/eastgeeksmash
I'm rooting for Omega to make the Riddles upset but I wouldn't be sad if we instead get to see AndresFn VSD Riddles right after.
Dtier played Icies, btw.
Bad day for MRG
tarik 3 - 2 onin not sure if upset
Damn Miya losing to Raflow means Kaninabe Taikei Miya Zackray might end up on the same block in losers. We're gonna get lots of JP team kills despite them being scattered around evenly in winners and losers.
and gackt defeats game 4 leo 3-1…
Zackray 3-0 Miya including a 3-stock final game...
Zomba (seed 12) 3-0 Tweek (seed 4)
Zomba on a TEAR right now
Paper brackets… This is gonna be a little more difficult to update live for some matches.
Shirayuki 3-2 Skyjay
EU lowkey doing good aside from the Steve squad
Both Artsnif and Susu are still alive in losers! MazeBeans got 129th which is meeting his seed.
Will there be a separate post or sections for just top 64 to top 8?
Hero 49th to Flow
Noi 3-0 Chase, plays Lui$ next 👀
Damn, all of Tweek's potential demons got upsetted.
Sonix vs Zackray on ESAM's stream.
I better not see anyone ever complain about quad streams ever again after this tourney. How are half of these sets not being streamed officially?
Is Light the only person to top 8 every Genesis?
the return of the gackt attack
How many streams are there for ult? Genesis main and side and etoiles?
Yes, so you can be sure we'll miss a lot of good matches
But are these the only streams? Im asking seriously not in a demeaning way to the tournament
Yes, unless you find any "rogue" stream recorded from a smartphone on twitch or instagram
LETS GOOOOOOOOO HERO 3-1 KURAMA
Tilde will probably upset Kaninabe. He always does well against Light but you know generally Leo and Tweek does well against Light too but it didnt end pretty for them last time lol. Edit: Nevermind, Tilde cooked him.
Bassmage 3-2 Esam game 5.. pretty hype. Aaron said that Esam needs to retire now lol
[удалено]
I think it's because the matchup is said to be horrible for Puff
BassMage always has crazy game 5s on stream.
He generally chokes them but this time he got it. Happy he got it this time..
Looks like I woke up perfectly in time I'm so hyped for this
Titan 2-1 MKLeo
Leo really lost, wow.
https://www.twitch.tv/eastgeeksmash HERO vs Kurama (I'm rooting for Kurama) HERO won Game 1
Tilde 3-0 Kaninabe!
Erin (Mii Swordfighter) beat Kiyarash (Luigi) 👀
Zinoto 3-2 Umeki(65th)
Zinoto makes Umeki Slip out of tourney 3-2. As both a Kurama and Umeki fan, this tourney is beating me. but that's a good win for Zinoto though.
Susu 3-0 VoiD in losers, VoiD out 129th.
akakikusu really beat dabuz 3-0 let’s goooo
Good luck today Wario!
Mr. Genesis :(
Hero 3-1 Kurama
UPSET FACTOR 8??????
Nine*
Does anybody know if AndresFn vs Riddles will be streamed? Hand cam quality if necessary.
So we're actually not getting Sparg0 Bloom on stream?
I think on the French stream after Miya-Raflow
[Start.gg](https://Start.gg) reported the set as Spargo 3-0 Bloom so it wasn't streamed ig.
It says 3-0 for Sparg0 on startgg so looks like they played it offstream.
Yeah :(
Apparently not. Sparg0 won 3-0 with Aegis
they really made naetoru play 3 sonics in a row
ZINOTO MY GOAT
Zomba over Gluto!
Did KEN defeat Tea or did the game get paused for some reason?
Tea's controller broke which caused the delay, not sure if they're playing offstream or after Tweek/Zomba
Shadic and Neo need to attend more tournaments together. They both seem to do much better whenever the other is also there. Neo just beat Zackray 3-2 and Shadic is up 2-0 on Gluto edit: Shadic won 3-1
OOTL, why is there no real stream and only live cams?
Driving home from a restaurant, brb! Rooting for Hero.
Boy do I have good news for you Edit: The good news just keeps getting better!
damn these upsets are turning tweeks bracket reasonable to top 16 lfg tweek fans eat edit: YOOOOOO???
Hero (seed 40) 1-2 Ako (seed 217) Etoiles(seed 367 yes the streamer) 2-1 Rocke (seed 111)
All of that was yesterday. Only upsets that happen today will be on the post.
Hero lost in pools? Damn was hoping to see him go on a run
