Board 8's greatest tradition continues. Gordon Freeman doesn't win, but he keeps his percentage above 40, staying in an elite group of contestants who've never gotten below 40%. Another great aspect of the Gordon Freeman tradition is that he always convinces some people he can win, and this time was no different - Gordon had 3 picks vs 84 for Leon. The consensus was Leon with 59.49% and the average score was 45.12 points.
