BOTTOM 512 — Week 7 — Poll 18

[This Old Neon]

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

Minecraft's match-ups are getting tougher, but still not tough enough IMO to knock off a game that is arguably an entire generation's interface with the gaming industry as a whole. Minecraft is video games to a frightening number of people. And it's not the worst game to be video games tbh. It's got a good variety of modes between chill/building/creative mode, exploring, crafting, and full-on adventures with action and storylines.

It's not my cup of tea, but it's good enough and important enough (and lord knows it's influential enough—even another culturally important game as huge as Fortnite owes a lot of gameplay elements to Minecraft).
