Skyrim overcomes a spillover-boosted Metroid Prime lead |

Metroid Prime built a large early lead, then Skyrim used its stronger morning and daytime trends to erase it and win. The writeup treats Prime's familiar trend collapse as the decisive factor after an opening aided partly by rally spillover.
Rally: The writeup says Undertale rally spillover helped Metroid Prime's unusually strong opening and boosted turnout, although Prime's normal early strength also contributed.

Witcher 3 beats Skyrim and completes its pre-final rise |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Witcher 3 beat Skyrim comfortably in the semifinal after spending the entire contest steadily overturning pre-contest expectations. The writeup attributes Witcher's rise to several reinforcing factors, including Netflix exposure, broader respect, Switch availability and Bethesda fatigue, while treating possible SFF as only speculative.

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.
