BGE 2K9 Round 1 2007-2009
Portal 24.1%
BioShock 22.8%
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.

GOTD Round 1 Southwest
Portal 71.5%
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.

writeup (md)
BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division I
Portal 32.3%
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.

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.
