upsetters
Those who overturn
Upsetters are people or things that cause upsets—disrupting expectations, defeating favored opponents, or disturbing settled arrangements.
In sports, an upsetter is often an underdog who defeats a higher-ranked competitor: The upsetters knocked out the defending champions in the first round.
The term can also describe agitators or troublemakers who destabilize situations.
