Round 1 Division 4 Day 7
Cuphead 68.28%
XCOM 2 31.72%

Prediction Percentage 77.96%

Cuphead was very well received upon release, being among the leading contenders for strongest indie game in the bracket. Unfortunately, it had a pretty predictable path, but there were a group of people that took the upset against GTAV in the following round. The number ended up being smaller in the oracle than in the guru, but if we had a tally the day before the round 1 matches, Im sure it would be higher. Indie games had been huge and had been winning matches they were not expecting to. Being an #8 seed, that task was tougher for Cuphead, but at least it got the one #1 seed that could hoped to be beaten already.

Cuphead itself looked a fine deal better than what was expected of it. It had easily the smallest blowout of the day, but most people agreed it was facing the strongest of the losing games, which on this side of the contest look to be true. Not that XCOM 2 is worth much mind you, we just had a solid amount of fodder going out today. Round 1 was a lot about taking out the trash and today is one of the most extreme cases if that, as 31% was the highest a losing game got. Im not saying anything is wrong with XCOM, its just not exactly the type of game we care very much. Itd probably do better if it had been released on Switch before the contest and not shortly afterwards, but it still wouldnt have made a difference in many matches, certainly not this one.
