StarCraft topples Halo after an internet-wide voting war |
|

|
StarCraft overturned Halo in one of the contest's defining first-round battles after both fanbases drew outside support into the poll. The writeup treats the result as proof that Halo was badly overseeded, StarCraft badly underseeded, and the StarCraft fanbase capable of changing the entire division.
Rally: The writeup explicitly describes mass Battle.net spamming, Xbox Live and Bungie involvement, and outside forces being brought in from across the internet to vote for both sides, with StarCraft ultimately benefiting most.

Diablo II wins a four-way thriller as Halo escapes |
|
|
|

|
|
|
All four games remained competitive, with Diablo II unexpectedly taking first while Halo needed its familiar afternoon strength to catch Knights of the Old Republic for second. KOTOR's near-advancement became one of the round's most impressive losses.

Halo wins quietly and sets up the series showdown |

Halo: Combat Evolved handled Ninja Gaiden without reproducing the character-contest chaos associated with Master Chief and Ryu Hayabusa. The straightforward result instead set up the more meaningful Halo-versus-Halo comparison ahead.

Halo stops Minecraft before the feared rally can begin |

|
|
Halo held Minecraft to a steady loss and prevented the rally-driven title run many bracketmakers had feared. The writeup notes that people correctly anticipated an outside-rally threat in the contest, but targeted the wrong game.

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.
