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 Saturday... or Sunday or 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.

Dark Wizard is a brilliant early-'90s tactical game. It did a few things I really like and haven't seen implemented super well (at least very commonly) to this day. Like, you can create/recruit a generic unit, give it a name, and as it gains experience and grows powerful it basically becomes a famous unique staple character in your team. FFT's recruitment system felt something like this, although if you're playing that game for sheer power you'll just use the story characters provided.

I think the DW hex maps are nice, too.

And the awesome Sega CD music. Playing a video game with full cartoon cut-scenes and CD quality music was awesome!!!
