CB IX Final
Draven 49.1%
Draven's Reddit rally overwhelms Snake in the final 1

Snake closed most of Draven's lead with celebrity-backed support before a much larger Reddit surge ended the comeback and delivered Draven the championship. The writeup treats the final as the culmination of the contest's rally controversy.

Rally: The writeup says rallies determined the championship: David Hayter helped Snake mount a comeback, then a large Reddit push for Draven overwhelmed him and decided the result.

CB IX Final Nine
Mega Man 33.3%
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.

CB IX Division Final Division 7
L-Block 24.5%
Samus cruises through the quietest divisional final

Samus controlled the simplest divisional final, with Tifa quickly taking second in the Expert Challenge ordering and L-Block never recreating its old magic. The writeup treats the match as a rare breather in an otherwise chaotic stretch.

CB IX Round 2 Division 7
Catherine 16.8%
Samus stays steady while Catherine validates herself

Samus overwhelmed Knuckles and Catherine and remained one of the few Noble Nine characters consistently meeting expectations. Catherine's respectable share is treated as proof that her first-round upset was not pure luck.

CB IX Round 1 Division 7
Sandbag 18.9%
Sandbag survives Samus SFF to take second 1

Samus dominated as expected, but Sandbag still beat Isaac Clarke for second in the Expert Challenge ordering despite Nintendo overlap. The writeup treats that as another sign of Sandbag's unusually durable joke support.

SFF: The writeup explicitly says Sandbag was SFFed by Samus, making Sandbag's second-place Expert Challenge finish more impressive.

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.
