Round 1 Division 2 Day 3
Horizon Zero Dawn 80.93%
Fortnite 19.07%

Prediction Percentage 56.87%

This was a very satisfying result to many. Fortnite has been huge in the end of the decade, theres no denying that. Its in no way a GameFAQs kind of type though. Its appeal is a lot more casual. Its also the exact type of game that were scared to see catch a solid rally, however. The player base is so huge and active and could easily outnumber. The chances of that happening are extremely low, Im sure, but it shows how traumatized weve been. Im sure some regulars were holding their breath for a good 20 hours of the match before feeling safe too, despite Horizon not just winning but dominating the match.

Look at the prediction percentage here. Thats really low for a match where the winning game breaks 80% Part of that is of course because Fortnite is the casual bait it is, but I guarantee its also because of rally fear to some small extend. There are less brackets these days, the average user making a bracket now is better than it used to be. In addition, stuff like GTA and WoW are actually big enough here. At least people visit the site to look at stuff about those games. Fortnite doesnt really have that going for it, so its probably not as much casual bait as those. It makes complete sense to include Fortnite in a Game of the Decade bracket, but lets expect this to last time we ever see it. Its tough to imagine it putting up a good number on anything.

While Fortnite was the sender of attention in this match, lets turn our eyes to Horizon for a bit too. It looks great here. Fortnite got most of the attention, but you deserve some credit for breaking 80% on anything, particularly a game everyone knows what is, disliked or not. It ends up getting that credit, but it was still uncertain at this point. Its round 2 match was debatable, and Horizon would go into it as the underdog according to the guru. Still, the upset felt good after this match. Horizon did a lot more than what was expected of it.
