BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division V Ocarina obliterates Hearthstone in a legendary blowout

Ocarina of Time produced one of the contest's legendary blowouts against Hearthstone and showed no vulnerability to the rally threat some had feared. The result looked like a championship statement at the time.

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division V Ocarina wins while Zelda fatigue finally surfaces

Ocarina of Time beat Suikoden II but looked shockingly weak for the site's traditional top game. The writeup interprets the performance as the first strong evidence of widespread anti-Zelda voting and contest fatigue.

BGE 2K15 Round 3 Division V A bad picture adds to Ocarina's warning signs 1

Ocarina of Time won easily but again looked weaker than expected for the site's traditional top game. Final Fantasy IX's strong showing, aided by the picture matchup, became another warning that Ocarina was vulnerable later.

Pic: The writeup directly blames Ocarina of Time's weak-looking performance in part on a poor Ocarina picture paired against one of Final Fantasy IX's best possible images.

BGE 2K15 Division Final Division V Ocarina routs Symphony but still looks a step slow

Ocarina of Time routed Symphony of the Night in the divisional final, but still looked weaker than historical comparisons suggested. The writeup explicitly says rally spillover had virtually no effect here.

BGE 2K15 Quarterfinal Ocarina beats Link to the Past without the expected SFF

Ocarina of Time beat A Link to the Past, but failed to produce the devastating same-series suppression many expected from their old four-way comparison. Both analyses conclude that little or no meaningful SFF was visible in the current match.

BGE 2K15 Semifinal Ocarina ends Super Mario RPG's miracle run

Ocarina of Time demolished Super Mario RPG in a semifinal that everyone expected to be one-sided. Early spillover inflated turnout but did not create a meaningful competitive effect, and Mario RPG's miracle run ended quietly.

Undertale 57.8%
Undertale's internet rally overwhelms Ocarina in the final 1

Undertale's rally had reached full internet scale by the championship, and Ocarina never mounted a serious challenge. The writeup frames the blowout as the crowning of a new contest paradigm and the completion of Undertale's historic run.

Rally: The writeup says broad internet attention and Undertale's massive outside support overwhelmed Ocarina of Time from the opening moments, turning the final into a one-sided coronation.

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.
