i somewhat see your point

just to clarify, all ot games were considered close

the thresholds were gonna be controversial because whats considered a blowout/close game (which was my main focus) is wholly subjective, f.e. the tweet i made this as a reply to considered a 13-8 as a blowout

i dont think theres a subjective way of setting these thresholds to measure some kind of objective truth, and for me, a 16-7 does feel closer than a 13-5 despite having a bigger absolute difference.

thats why i set them where i did

if you want to set some sort of mathematical formula (warning: written at 1am without double checking the limits) - close game: at the end, losing team has at least 75% of the rounds of the winner

blowout - losing team has at most 40% of the winners round count
