  • Pacific four-peat — fourth consecutive Masters title for the region
  • Paper Rex's lower-bracket gauntlet — five wins from elimination to the grand final, including the most-watched match of the event (peak 752K viewers)
  • Swiss redraw incident — round 2 was redrawn off-stream after a seeding error placed Paper Rex and Gentle Mates incorrectly
