Trivia

As Georgia State, Amogh Kulkarni became the first solo player (ever? in a very long time?) ^{[citation needed]} to reach the top bracket of Division I, going 6-1 in his prelim bracket.
- He did this while wearing a Chicago hoodie, in a nod to his former school.
- He did this with a lower prelim PPB (11.35) than any team to make playoffs at ICT within the last 15 years; 2099 MIT made top bracket with an even lower prelim PPB of 10.44.
Toronto's 4th-place finish in Division I, their first top 4 finish, is the highest ever by any team from Canada in that division, and the highest such finish for any team from Canada in a U.S.-based collegiate championship with an unrestricted field.
