SC2K2 Round 2 East
Aeris 76.9%
Aeris takes advantage of an unexpectedly easy path

Aeris received an unexpectedly easy path after Tina eliminated Gordon Freeman and took full advantage of it. The writeup views her low seed as misleading and her trip to the divisional semifinals as well deserved.

SC2K3 Round 2 East Aeris comfortably ends Master Chief's overhyped first contest

Aeris comfortably beat a Master Chief whose narrow escape against Felix had already destroyed most upset expectations. Chief showed some resistance after a terrible start, but the writeup treats the match mainly as another strong Aeris fourpack win.

CB2K6 Round 2 Triforce
KOS-MOS 38.3%
Aeris beats KOS-MOS but looks doomed against Zelda

Aeris beat KOS-MOS but performed much worse than the writeup believed she needed to before facing Zelda. Although some fans blamed the picture, the author rejects that explanation and treats the result as a straightforward warning of trouble ahead.

CB VI Round 2 Division 8
Sora 29.9%
Sora reverses Aeris as Squall drains her support 1

Squall took control immediately, while Sora decisively reversed his old loss to Aeris. Aeris nearly fell behind Lara as well, making the writeup treat the result as a sharp confirmation of her decline.

LFF: The writeup argues that Squall's presence hurt fellow Square entrant Aeris far more than Sora, helping Sora reverse their old matchup and advance comfortably.

CB IX Round 2 Division 1
Tharja 18.8%
Shepard comes back and upsets Aeris

Aeris led for hours before Shepard erased the gap and then pulled away decisively, producing one of the contest's most satisfying upsets for Mass Effect fans. Tharja's presence and Final Fantasy VII anti-voting are discussed as background factors rather than formal anomalies.

6 7321
writeup (md)
CB X Round 2 Division 5 Aerith becomes the first 15-seed with three wins

Aerith beat Captain Toad without much movement and became the first 15-seed to win three matches. The writeup treats her run as a historic seeding oddity even though the path itself was unusually weak.

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.
