| - Other than Undertale, Chrono Cross winning in round 2 was the lowest prediction percentage. San Andreas and World of Warcraft are casualbait bracket predictions, and almost all of the casuals would have picked one of those two games to win the fourpack. On Board 8, half of the gurus picked Chrono Cross. This is impressive for such a huge upset to be sure, even half of even us thought GTA or WoW would win the fourpack. Needless to say, Chrono Cross not only winning this, but winning it so easily was a huge surprise. It actually had 60% of the vote early, then GTA had to bleed percentage all match to make this look even remotely respectable. Not that losing this in any way actually could be respectable, but still. This match and this day in general gave the GTA series a well-deserved "get the hell out of my contest" beating, and it was met with some hilarious whining from the casuals. This match and GTA5 losing on the same day to boot the entire series from the contest was just classic for a GTA hater like myself. GTA losing in round 2 and enjoying the casual whining is becoming a contest tradition! I've been waiting until this very writeup to bust out this list, and it's mighty hilarious. The casuals should really know to expect GTA choke jobs in these contests by now, because ever since Tommy Vercetti's run in 2003 GTA has done nothing, and often gets bit by a hilarious upset bug very early in contests. Frankly even Vercetti in 2003 got lucky to beat Donkey Kong in round 2, but I'll give the guy some credit there since he was a hyped newcomer. Regardless, here is the list of hilarious GTA upsets and close matches in contests. I'm including close wins, because even those are funny to look at. Look at how ridiculous some of these matches are, then pull a Laughing Octopus and LAUGH WITH ME. It's all so fucking hysterical. (confirmed cheating on Kefka's side in this match) There are some hilarious blowouts too, like Niko Bellic getting last place in a poll with a horse in it. There is seriously no reason to ever have faith in Grand Theft Auto or its characters ever again unless they are against pure fodder trash. Seriously, look at that list. It's ridiculous, especially in 2009 when four GTA games made the bracket because of GTA4 hype (3, 4, Vice City, San Andreas) and none of them made it to round 3. Not that that's the only example, like GTA5 hype getting three games into this contest and all of them losing early, but good lord that series sucks. Both in the games being garbage and in contests. Just pure trash in every way, and I absolutely love whenever that series loses.
