Match #10 Results
Grand Theft Auto 49.56%
Warcraft 50.44%

Warcraft surprised many people today by pulling off an upset against GTA, in the highest-voted match since Cloud/Link 2003. Will people ever stop being burned by Blizzard in these contests? There were 128 picks for Grand Theft Auto, while 37 smart people took Warcraft. The consensus was Warcraft with 54.88% and the average score was 38.94 - but under the old scoring system, it would have been much lower.

Best Five Picks:
1) Inviso - Warcraft 50.44% (+50.00)
2) The_LeppreKhan - Warcraft 50.55% (+49.89)
2) ActJef1077 - Warcraft 50.55% (+49.89)
4) DarkLink89 - Warcraft 50.56% (+49.88)
5) raytan7585 - Warcraft 50.31% (+49.87)

For the second day in a row we have a perfect prediction, this time from Inviso! This is Inviso's first ever top 5 prediction. Tied for second are The_LeppreKhan and ActJef1077, both Oracle newcomers who are getting their first top 5 today. DarkLink89 comes in .01 points behind them, and raytan7585 follows another .01 points back. This is the first top 5 for both of them as well.
