The bracket in Predictive Victory Dynamics, the Version 7.1 prediction event in Genshin Impact, is down to its last four teams. Both Semifinals went to the teams most players backed. That sets up a Championship Match between the lone Sappho of Saurians Are The Cutest and the Fatui of Reserve Grenadier Squad. The two losing teams drop into a Third-Place Playoff.
Quick answer: Saurians Are The Cutest came out ahead of Mirror Fruity Order, then Reserve Grenadier Squad topped What Does the Ninken Say? Correct predictions returned ×30 and ×35 per Victory Emblem, respectively.
Semifinals match results and score multipliers
The Semifinals were Round 7 of the event’s eight daily rounds. Predictions opened on October 18 at 02:00 UTC and closed 24 hours later. Each of the two matches had roughly two-thirds of players behind the eventual winner, so neither result was an upset.
| Match | Winner | Eliminated | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semifinals – Match 1 | Saurians Are The Cutest | Mirror Fruity Order | ×30 |
| Semifinals – Match 2 | Reserve Grenadier Squad | What Does the Ninken Say? | ×35 |
The multiplier is the score each Victory Emblem earns when the pick is right. Low multipliers like these mean the crowd agreed with the result. In the Quarterfinals, by comparison, Mirror Fruity Order won with about 23 percent support and paid ×105.
Match 1: Saurians Are The Cutest vs. Mirror Fruity Order
This was a fight of numbers against one unit. Mirror Fruity Order fields a crowd of Treasure Hoarders, most of them ranged. They opened with a steady stream of darts and potion flasks, and a Pyro Potioneer left patches of burning ground across the arena. Saurians Are The Cutest has only Sappho, the Fatui Mirror Maiden, but she carries very high HP and ATK.
Sappho’s kit suits this matchup. Her ice mist hits fragile ranged units hard, and she chains dashes together so the Treasure Hoarders keep chasing her instead of focusing fire. The squad that knocked out Unofficial Blazing Beasts Members in the Quarterfinals had no answer for a single target that would not stand still.
The result screen confirms Saurians Are The Cutest as the winner. A 50-Emblem pick on Sappho’s team at ×30 returned 1,500 score.
Match 2: Reserve Grenadier Squad vs. What Does the Ninken Say?
The second Semifinal pitted Fatui skirmishers against the Swiftshadow Ninken canine fighters. Reserve Grenadier Squad is built from high-HP melee units that attack the moment they enter the field. That early pressure thinned the Ninken quickly, and the commentary credits Miss Wislawa with a barrage that left the other side badly weakened.
The Ninken were not finished at once. Their last surviving fighter dove into the middle of the Fatui formation, and the match ran long enough to enter the Vicious Battle phase. In that phase both sides lose HP continuously. That rule rewards staying power, and the tanky Fatui had more of it.
How Semifinals scoring adds up
Score in Predictive Victory Dynamics is simple multiplication. Emblems placed on the winning side are multiplied by that side’s locked multiplier. A wrong pick still earns a small amount. In Round 1, an unsuccessful prediction returned 400 points instead of nothing.
| Line | Emblems | Multiplier | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match 1 pick | 50 | ×30 | 1,500 |
| Match 2 pick | 50 | ×35 | 1,750 |
| Round Score | 100 | — | 3,250 |
Two correct calls in this round raised a running Prediction Score from 15,250 to 18,500. The result is not credited until you open the battle report. The game states that the prediction score is calculated after viewing it. You open the report from the Interactive Woven Scroll Projection Board, and the replays play before the result screens appear.
A “Prediction Successful” label on each result screen, followed by a Round Score summary, confirms the points have been added.
The 16,000 Prediction Score reward
The Semifinals payout is enough to push a strong running total past the 16,000 Prediction Score milestone. That tier pays 40,000 Mora and 4 Sanctifying Unction. You claim it from the Prediction Score Rewards panel in the event menu, and an Obtained Rewards window lists the items once it goes through.
Along with rewards for participating in each round, the event has milestone prizes. Predictive Victory Dynamics grants 420 Primogems overall, as well as Mora, Hero’s Wit and other materials.
Final Showdown matchups and support rates
The Semifinals feed straight into Round 8, the Final Showdown, which holds two matches. The support rates shown when the round opened lean heavily toward one side in each.
| Match | Team | Support Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Championship Match | Saurians Are The Cutest | 37% |
| Championship Match | Reserve Grenadier Squad | 63% |
| Third-Place Playoff | Mirror Fruity Order | 16% |
| Third-Place Playoff | What Does the Ninken Say? | 84% |
Support Rate locks before each battle and sets the multiplier, so the final numbers can still shift a little. Both finalists won every match on the way here:
- Saurians Are The Cutest beat Frostarm and Shaman Formation, then Little Fungi Clan, then Mirror Fruity Order.
- Reserve Grenadier Squad beat Seahorse and Crab, then A Little Chubby Crisis, then What Does the Ninken Say?
- Mirror Fruity Order reached the Semifinals past Elemental Dye Experts and Unofficial Blazing Beasts Members.
- What Does the Ninken Say? got there past Simple-Soul Hilichurl Fighters and Round-and-Frost Assault.
Saurians Are The Cutest has been an underdog before. In Round 1, it won with only about 12 percent of players behind it. Reserve Grenadier Squad, meanwhile, has been favored in every round.
Final Showdown prediction deadline
The Final Showdown is the last round that accepts Victory Emblems. Predictions close on October 20 at 01:59 UTC, which is October 19 at 21:59 UTC-4 and October 20 at 09:59 UTC+8. The event screen’s “Time Remaining for This Prediction Round” timer shows the same deadline in-game. Missing a round’s deadline forfeits that round’s participation reward, and it cannot be recovered later.
After predictions close, Predictive Victory Dynamics stays open for results until October 23 at 01:59 UTC. That window is when the Championship Match and Third-Place Playoff replays become viewable and their scores count. Any Prediction Score tiers unlocked by then can still be claimed. Once the window ends, the event leaves the Events menu, and unclaimed rewards go with it.
