Yo wassup I got two fresh updates to #PGRv4 coming straight from your homeboy PracticalTAS and the PGSquad. First up some Jims were jibber jabbering on Twitter about how the smash Illuminati had bestowed the illustrious, exclusive title of S Tier Tournament onto the lowly pleb event known as DreamHack Atlanta, and johning about how this devalues the worth of the *real* S Tiers like Evo. In response, PracticalTAS has satiated the people's desire for meaningless classifications by splitting what was formerly S Tier into two separate tiers, S and S+.

S+ comprises the upper half of the tier previously known as S Tier, and starts at 3600 points up to the upper limit of 4800 that the TTS can award. Only the freshest tournaments, with the chillest TOs and the hottest smashers, can even hope to reach S+ tier, so you wouldn't say $#!+ to them at lan. The lower half of the previous S tier is the new S tier. Tournaments that score between 2400 and 3599 points, inclusive, including the upcoming DreamHack Atlanta, will land within this new, slightly inferior tier.

Please note that this distinction is totally meaningless, and does not actually affect the math that we are using to calculate the PGR. The only distinction between tiers is the number of players who receive Placement Points towards their PGRv4 Score, and both S and S+ Tier tournaments will continue to award points to their top 64 finishers. All other separation is dependent directly on tournament value, not tier.
