Match #5 Results
Metal Gear 69.89%
Soul Calibur 30.11%

Today Metal Gear performed the way a 1 seed should against an 8 seed, manhandling Soul Calibur from wire to wire. Several people in the stats topic considered Metal Gear's performance surprising, but they should have asked us what was going to happen - the Oracle consensus was Metal Gear with 70.54%. The average score was 43.56 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) Dilated Chemist - Metal Gear 69.96% (+49.93)
2) Luis_Sera89 - Metal Gear 69.80% (+49.91)
3) Applekidjosh - Metal Gear 70.00% (+49.89)
3) King Morgoth - Metal Gear 70.00% (+49.89)
5) SephirothG - Metal Gear 70.01% (+49.88)

Today almost counts as a star-studded top five: we have two former Oracle Champions in our top 5. The best prediction belongs to Dilated Chemist, the guy known for success in spring contests (one of which he won). Luis_Sera89 has the second best prediction with 49.91 points, slightly edging out the people who predicted Metal Gear with 70%. Tied for third are Oracle newcomer Applekidjosh and former champion King Morgoth, who both predicted Metal Gear with 70%. The fifth place spot goes to SephirothG, who placed 0.01 points behind them. In an interesting coincidence, this is the 24th top 5 prediction for both Dilated Chemist and King Morgoth, while it is the first top 5 prediction for Luis_Sera, Applekidjosh, and SephirothG.

Yoshifan climbs back into fourth place after spending a day off the leaderboard. And taking the fifth place spot with a great prediction is Camden, one of the users featured in the pre-contest "10 Most Dangerous Competitors" feature.
