GoldenEye beats Diablo II in a debated old-school matchup |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GoldenEye beat Diablo II in a debated 8/9 matchup and continued the broader old-game advantage of the contest. The writeup notes possible minor rally spillover but treats it as too uncertain to explain the win.

Diablo II exposes a weakened Metal Gear Solid 4 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 4 won but steadily lost ground to Diablo II and looked far weaker than its prior-year form. The writeup also gives Diablo II substantial credit as the strongest traditional Western RPG in the field.

Diablo II becomes Blizzard's bright spot |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Diablo II produced a notably strong opening while the other Blizzard games were struggling badly. The writeup treats it as evidence that Diablo had benefited more than its Blizzard siblings from the contest's decade framing.

Melee and Final Fantasy X cruise through a staircase |

|
Melee and Final Fantasy X advanced through a largely featureless staircase match. Kingdom Hearts briefly fought Diablo II for position but never threatened the top two once the PS2 split took hold.
LFF: The writeup says Kingdom Hearts was held down by its PS2 overlap with Final Fantasy X, preventing it from mounting a serious challenge for second.

Melee won easily, while Diablo II repeated its first-round success and comfortably advanced again. Halo collapsed to last behind a SFF-affected Wind Waker, producing another major embarrassment for the series.
SFF: The writeup says Melee SFFed Wind Waker, though Wind Waker still held up better than expected and even finished ahead of Halo.

Diablo II wins a four-way thriller as Halo escapes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All four games remained competitive, with Diablo II unexpectedly taking first while Halo needed its familiar afternoon strength to catch Knights of the Old Republic for second. KOTOR's near-advancement became one of the round's most impressive losses.

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.
