Round 1 |
Division I |
|
Melee handles Portal without revealing much |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Melee beat Portal comfortably in an otherwise uneventful opener, with its usual early strength followed by percentage bleed. The writeup says the result gave little hint of how badly a later Chrono Trigger matchup would go.

Division Final |
Southwest |
|
Portal exits with one of the contest's best runs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portal's run ended against Resident Evil 4, but the writeup still considers the showing highly respectable and much stronger than old four-way statistics would have implied. It treats Portal as one of the contest's major success stories.

Mass Effect shines in defeat against Portal |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portal beat Mass Effect comfortably, but the writeup considers Mass Effect's showing one of the best losses of the contest and clear proof of a major sequel-driven boost. Portal still looked strong, just not strong enough to threaten Resident Evil 4.

|
Portal blows away Final Fantasy XII |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portal demolished Final Fantasy XII in a matchup that had been heavily debated before the contest. The writeup celebrates the result as both a Portal statement and a decisive rejection of old four-way extrapolations favoring FFXII.

Round 1 |
Southwest |
|
Portal explodes into a serious divisional threat |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portal crushed a game that had performed very well in the vote-ins and immediately locked down the Southwest's lower half. The writeup sees both its cult status and recent free availability as plausible contributors to its surge.

|
Metal Gear Solid 4 and Fallout 3 advance quietly |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 4 and Fallout 3 advanced in an orderly match with little suspense, while Portal briefly made the lower positions interesting. The writeup treats it mainly as a quiet setup for later rounds.

BGE 2K9 |
Round 1 |
2007-2009 |
|
Portal comfortably beats BioShock behind Metal Gear Solid 4 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Gear Solid 4 won as expected, while Portal comfortably beat BioShock for the second advancing spot after an early lead that never became seriously threatened. The match stayed quieter than its uncertain pre-match setup suggested.

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.
