GOTD Division Semifinal West Shadow of the Colossus confirms its Cinderella run

Shadow of the Colossus followed its MGS2 upset by beating Metal Gear Solid 4 and turning a possible fluke into the contest's defining Cinderella run. A late MGS4 rally cut into the lead but is explicitly dismissed as meaningless.

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.

GOTD Round 1 West Metal Gear Solid 4 underperforms despite a picture disadvantage 1

Metal Gear Solid 4 won but looked substantially weaker than its 2009 form, reinforcing the emerging narrative that the entire series had declined. The writeup acknowledges the unfavorable picture while still treating the performance as poor.

Pic: The writeup explicitly says Metal Gear Solid 4 had a picture disadvantage against Assassin's Creed, though it argues that the disadvantage does not fully excuse MGS4's weak showing.

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.
