EarthBound makes Metal Gear Solid look badly weakened |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid advanced, but EarthBound came much closer than the writeup thought a former top-tier game should allow. The result reinforced the contest-wide impression that Metal Gear had declined while EarthBound had gained real strength.

EarthBound finally breaks out by crushing Borderlands 2 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EarthBound overturned the Board 8 favorite and crushed Borderlands 2, finally translating its cult reputation into a meaningful contest win. The writeup treats the result as one of the clearest signs of the contest's enormous SNES and nostalgia boost.

Doom ends EarthBound hype and busts many brackets |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doom beat the higher-seeded EarthBound after a heavily debated matchup that the writeup says was less competitive than the hype suggested. It presents the result as a bracket buster driven by mainstream recognition overcoming a dedicated cult fanbase.

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.
