HOLY CRAP A KIND OF GOOD MATCH THAT ACTUALLY STAYED KIND OF GOOD ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND FINISHED CLOSER THAN 55.28%. PRAISE JESUS. IT ONLY TOOK 44 F***ING MATCHES TO HIT SOMETHING I'M ACTUALLY EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT.
CAPS LOCK. CRUISE CONTROL. AWESOME.
And it's even better because GLaDOS and Magus are two of my favorite characters, so whoever wins *I* win. When I'm happy, everyone's happy. Plus yoblazer and greatone10 gave us an absolutely perfect match picture, so yeah.
Hype? Not too much. Most people assumed Chell would screw GLaDOS over and they were ultimately right. The match was never really close, either, but compared to the rest of this god-awful contest it was so nice to see something end within 55%, let alone 52.
The reason GLaDOS was never able to come back from the initial Chrono Trigger surge, aside from Chell being worth nothing, is that CT was able to build a 600 lead overnight and Portal doesn't have quite the day vote necessary to take full advantage of how bad CT's day vote is. So while Portal was able to get some cuts and stalls here and there, it was never able to really push for the win.
Doesn't matter though, we actually got a close match and that's all I even care about. GLaDOS scared the hell out of all the perfect battle brackets once that morning vote started, too.
"'Fun' fact: Chell/GLaDOS vs. Frog/Magus was literally the only battle upset of the entire contest." -Lefty
This is why we pay Lefty the big bucks here at the Board 8 Wiki.
