Notes

With 101 players, this was the largest Day 2 of any tournament to date (excluding World Championships).

Only 100 Masters appear in the final Day 2 standings because one player, Benjamin Branch, was disqualified for allegedly stacking.

Zach Lesage's winning deck, Blacephalon-GX/Naganadel, was considered to be a poor choice for this tournament. It came 10th in PokéStats's pre-event Deck Power Rankings, and Lesage himself even called the deck "dead" following his 32nd-place 2019 OCIC finish the weekend before Collinsville. Despite this, Lesage switched to Blacephalon-GX/Naganadel as a last-minute "comfort pick" after testing other decks, and ran into a metagame of very favorable matchups.
