Every Game 10 Major Grand Finals Set in Melee’s History

Throughout Melee’s history, there have been a few different styles of brackets used to organize tournaments. But eventually, the standard became Best of 5 Sets in a Double Elimination Bracket.

As a result of this setup, Grand Finals can last up to 10 games. This rarely happens at major tournaments, but when it does it truly is something special. A back and forth battle between two evenly matched players which ends in an epic Game 10 climax.

So I decided to compile a list of all the Game 10 Grand Finals Sets from every Major in Melee’s history (Online Majors and Majors with non-standard brackets not included).

I recommend giving each of these a watch if you haven’t already, because they truly are amazing sets (And if I missed any let me know!).
