CB IX Round 1 Division 1
Tharja 36.2%
Tiny Tina 35.3%
A 4chan rally saves Tharja from Tiny Tina 1

Tharja built a large early lead, Tiny Tina slowly erased it, and the two reached a true late deadlock before outside support swung the match back to Tharja. The writeup considers it a rare first-round match that would have benefited from a longer poll.

Rally: The writeup says 4chan noticed Tiny Tina's comeback and rallied Tharja, pushing Tharja back ahead and preserving the win.

CB IX Round 1 Division 1
Draven 40.5%
Jak 33.2%
League rallies launch Draven from last place to first 1

Jak and Chie controlled the match until League rallying arrived, after which Draven erased a huge deficit and surged into first. The writeup identifies this as the beginning of the rally-driven Draven run that would define the contest.

Rally: The writeup says League of Legends subreddit rallies transformed Draven from a distant last-place character into the winner within a few hours.

Elizabeth 41.4%
Poison 33.1%
Thrall 25.5%
Elizabeth wins after a brief Poison rally 1

Elizabeth won and Poison took second in an otherwise settled match, while Thrall disappointed again. The only meaningful disturbance was a short-lived 4chan push for Poison.

Rally: The writeup says Poison received an early 4chan rally that produced one large cut before the push faded and stopped affecting the match.

Banjo 18.9%
Missingno barely survives Tidus amid rallying and vote stuffing 2

Tidus erased a large early deficit, took the lead, and nearly completed one of the contest's biggest upsets before Missingno recovered in the final stretch. The cheating revelation immediately spoiled what had looked like a heroic Tidus near-win.

Rally · Cheat: The writeup reports a small Reddit rush for Missingno in the final hour. It also quotes SBAllen saying anti-bot measures caught vote stuffing at roughly a two-to-one ratio favoring Tidus.

Mega Man 55.3%
Magikarp 32.0%
Geno 12.7%
Mega Man absorbs Magikarp's planned rally and cruises 1

Mega Man weathered Magikarp's pre-planned push and then dominated, while Geno was crushed into last. The result became the first major test of Mega Man against the contest's Pokémon rally threat.

Rally: The writeup says Magikarp entered the match with a pre-planned rally and briefly stayed even with Mega Man before the favorite pulled away.

CB IX Round 1 Division 9
Kratos 50.3%
A developer rally lifts Recette over Travis 1

Kratos won easily, but Recette unexpectedly beat Travis for second in the Expert Challenge ordering after outside support boosted the niche indie character. Travis's comeback attempt never fully recovered the early deficit.

Rally: The writeup says Recette received a small organized push from the game's developer, with possible additional support from 4chan.

What this is

Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags (SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the match.
