Round 1 Division 1 Day 2
Monster Hunter: World 57.95%
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy 42.05%

Prediction Percentage 88.85%

This match went almost exactly like most of us expected, but unlike most matches that go that way, most appeared to not have a correct read on either games strength, just a correct read on the ratio between them. Because even as the games both ended up in the matches where most people expected them to, they look a lot better than we thought at the other side of the contest. Bravely Default appears to be quite legit and its a shame it got a completely unwinnable match because it couldve damaged brackets elsewhere in a similar fashion to Octopath. Being a Square RPG on a Nintendo console is a good thing apparently. As Monster Hunter also ended up being a lot closer to Dragon Quest than expected, we instead of learned of Bravely Default being legit as the contest went on. Hopefully its not the last time we see it in the field, although with its low seeding in a Game of the Decade bracket it might very well be.

This match set up Monster Hunter as the clear favorite for round 2. It was the guru favorite too, but Sekiro beating it was a fairly popular upset, but everyone had a hard time seeing Ni no Kuni get close to Bravely Default. That had more to do with the following match however.
