Notes
  • This tournament featured the highest percentage of non-North American players in Day 2 of a North American major tournament in the game's modern era: five of the 48 Day 2 players (including Diego Cassiraga, who was disqualified). 
  • Michael Catron and Grant Manley both extended their Regional Day 2 appearance streaks to five (the first five North American Regionals of the 2019-20 season). 
  • 2017 World Champion Diego Cassiraga was disqualified from Day 2 of the event. According to most sources, the disqualification was prompted by an incident in Cassiraga's Day 1 stream match against Sierra Hunter in which he appeared to stack his deck. (No official explanation for the disqualification was given by event staff.) You can view the questionable shuffling sequence here and read Jonathan Croxton's HeyFonte post discussing the incident here.
