Trivia

 * Most of the Grand Soirée skins were based on a more modern approach to the fashion style in the Roaring Twenties, since this was the first event to happen in 2020.
 * The skin for Crypto, however, might have been inspired by modern K-Pop boys bands and rappers clothing, that could symbolize the start of the 2020s.
