Fallout 3 and Halo 3 close Round One quietly 1

Fallout 3 and Halo 3 advanced in a nearly perfect staircase, making the final first-round match one of the contest's least eventful. The shared Xbox and genre-heavy field produced very little movement.

LFF: The writeup attributes some of Mass Effect's weak showing to overlap with fellow Western RPG Fallout 3 in an unusually homogeneous field.

GOTD Round 1 Southwest Mass Effect underperforms despite sequel-fueled hype

Mass Effect's prediction support reflected a major boost from its sequel, but the actual performance fell well short of that reputation. The writeup considers this enough to make Portal the clear lower-bracket favorite.

GOTD Round 2 Southwest Mass Effect ends Skies of Arcadia's upset run

Mass Effect ended Skies of Arcadia's upset run with a predictable blowout. The writeup treats the match mainly as confirmation of the large boost Mass Effect received from its sequel.

GOTD Division Semifinal Southwest
Portal 54.3%
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.

BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division II Mass Effect outlasts Galaxy 2 in the first true thriller

Mass Effect erased Galaxy 2's early lead, spent hours in a deadlock, then pulled away during the afternoon. The writeup remembers it as the contest's first genuine close match and a major embarrassment for the Board 8 consensus.

6 6121
writeup (md)
BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division II Smash 4 survives a respectable Mass Effect challenge

Smash 4 beat Mass Effect in a respectable but unspectacular result for both games. The writeup sees the Wii U title as legitimately strong, while Mass Effect's loss still validated its prior upset of Galaxy 2.

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.
