Development
This tournament has been announced along with SSAS Trials 3 which had been scheduled for taping and broadcast for almost 4 months. However, the host cwrpg02 have been struggling during the development of this tournament. It is reported that this tournament was originally scheduled to air on SSAS's first anniversary, which is on April 14, 2021. The tournament had indirectly been delayed indefinitely due to consecutive delays caused from the tapings of SSAS Trials 3, as well as the hiatus of ĐHN SASUKE, in which has been announced its tenth season along with the third trials season but nothing has been happened until its cancellation in May 2021.

On April 30, 2021, it is announced by cwrpg02 that the whole show officially enters a 2-week hiatus. This ultimately delayed the tournament to May 2021. Shortly after SSAS Trials 3's taping, it has reported that SSAS 13 had started its production. The taping of the show was notably started on May 17, 2021 and will be expected to air in late May.

It was reported that the tapings of the show have ended on May 21, 2021. The First Stage was taped on May 17, 2021 until May 20, 2021. While the remaining stages were taped between May 20, 2021 and May 21, 2021.

Tournament Summary
Due to the course's extreme difficulty in the previous tournament, the First Stage was moderately modified to make the course easier. In the First Stage, two new obstacles were introduced, Tarzan Rope Kai, which somewhat adapted from a part of Rope Jungle, and Captain's Cabin from VIKING, in which the only difference being the absence of motor usage. Two existing obstacles served a modification, the Rope Glider which was modified to decrease it's overall velocity, and the Dragon Drop where the second track was placed slightly lower in order to have a lower knockout rate. The First Stage's time limit was increased to 120 seconds, and 150 seconds for female competitors.
