Draven's restored rally wipes out Mewtwo's lead 1

Mewtwo looked ready to win while the League rally was offline, but Draven surged back the moment outside support returned. The match became one of the clearest demonstrations of how completely rally access controlled Draven's run.

Rally: The writeup says Draven's Reddit rally was briefly removed, allowing Mewtwo to build a large lead, then returned and erased that lead almost immediately.

Pokémon vote splitting hands Snake an easy path 1

Snake advanced to the final while the two Pokémon entrants split their shared fanbase and fought over second in the Expert Challenge ordering. Pikachu ultimately beat Squirtle after the morning vote.

LFF: The writeup says Squirtle and Pikachu cannibalized each other's Pokémon support, destroying their chances of challenging Snake for first.

Samus survives Mega Man in a Nintendo-heavy semifinal 1

Mega Man briefly led and genuinely threatened Samus, but Samus eventually took control and won the semifinal. Red remained competitive enough to finish a strong contest run despite the Nintendo-heavy field.

SFF: The writeup explicitly attributes the result to Mega Man's heavy Nintendo-adjacent overlap in a match with Samus and Red.

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.
