GOTD 2 Quarterfinal Skyrim outlasts Dark Souls in the last close quarterfinal

Skyrim and Dark Souls stayed nearly even for the opening hours before Skyrim's stronger morning vote finally created separation. The writeup treats it as the last genuinely competitive match of the contest and a strong final showing for Dark Souls.

Persona 5 43.5%
Witcher 3 absorbs Persona 5's rally and wins 1

The Witcher 3 beat Persona 5 after an entertaining opening and confirmed that even a major Persona push was not enough to threaten it. The result sent Witcher into the semifinal looking almost untouchable.

Rally: The writeup says Persona 5 rallied heavily from the opening and received roughly hundreds of outside votes, though The Witcher 3 repeatedly absorbed the pushes and pulled away.

GOTD 2 Quarterfinal Smash ends Xenoblade's surprise run comfortably

Smash Ultimate comfortably ended Xenoblade's surprise run and advanced to the semifinal. Although some observers called the result SFF, the writeup explicitly questions whether meaningful suppression occurred and emphasizes Xenoblade's bandwagon instead.

GOTD 2 Quarterfinal Breath of the Wild keeps doubling everything

Breath of the Wild doubled Mass Effect 2 in the quarterfinals and maintained one of the most dominant game-contest runs ever. The writeup treats Dragon Quest XI's prior resistance as newly impressive in hindsight.

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.
