BOTTOM 192 — Week 3 — Poll 1

Post by 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!

I can’t not vote for Skies of Arcadia in most cases….
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Can't vote for RTK2 over Skies here, but I don't think I can torpedo the last remnant of RTK either.

I can vote for RTK2 over Skies. :) You've nailed it, RTK2 is the last RTK left standing in this contest, and appropriately, it's also the overall best game in the series. Is the overall best game in arguably the best "historical simulation" console strategy series worthy of better than a "Top 256" ranking when all is said and done? Probably. Tough competition.
