BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division I Melee's rally turns a safe win into a statement 1

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division III Undertale spillover turns Pokémon's win into a rout 1

Pokémon RBY was already beating Mario 3 before outside traffic arrived, but Undertale spillover transformed the result into a rout. The writeup treats the natural matchup as a legitimate Pokémon win and the final margin as heavily distorted.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale's outside rally spilled into this simultaneous poll and heavily boosted Pokémon RBY, turning an already likely Pokémon win into a much larger blowout.

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division III Sonic 2 wins big with a small rally boost 1

Sonic 2 was already winning decisively before the simultaneous rally traffic arrived, then gained a few more points from spillover. The writeup treats the underlying result as a genuine old-games victory rather than a rally-created upset.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale rally spillover modestly favored Sonic 2 over Uncharted 2, making an already comfortable Sonic win somewhat larger.

Undertale 55.7%
Fallout 3 44.3%

Fallout 3 looked safe for most of the match before Undertale's rally transformed the poll into a historic comeback and then a decisive win. The result launched the rally momentum that would dominate the rest of the contest.

Rally: The writeup says Undertale's massive outside rally erased Fallout 3's huge lead in only a few hours and continued accelerating after taking first.

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division VIII Shadow wins while rally spillover slightly helps Red Dead 1

Shadow of the Colossus won comfortably and revived memories of its earlier Metal Gear upset run. Red Dead Redemption's respectable showing was helped slightly by rally spillover, but the next-round Shadow-versus-Metal-Gear debate remained intact.

Rally: The writeup says Red Dead Redemption received a small boost from the simultaneous StarCraft and Mass Effect 2 rallies, slightly improving its showing without threatening Shadow of the Colossus.

BioShock 48.0%
BioShock rallying turns an MGS3 win into an embarrassment 1

Metal Gear Solid 3 built an early lead, then spent most of the match unable to extend it as BioShock's rally support surged. MGS3 survived, but the unusually close finish became another major warning about Metal Gear's strength.

Rally: The writeup says BioShock was boosted by both direct rallying and spillover from the StarCraft-Mass Effect rally war, allowing it to run even with Metal Gear Solid 3 for much of the day.

Starcraft 48.9%
Mass Effect 2 wins a full-scale rally war with StarCraft 1

StarCraft seemed to have revived its old rally magic before Mass Effect 2 answered with an even stronger counter-push. The repeated swings made this one of the round's best matches and ended with Mass Effect 2 winning the rally war.

Rally: The writeup describes a sustained rally war: StarCraft first erased Mass Effect 2's lead, then Mass Effect 2 counter-rallied and eventually pulled away after its subreddit allowed rally threads.

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.
