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, so don't get complacent!

I'm not going to cast a salty vote against Minecraft, even for a relatively strong competitor like Tempest. Minecraft is incredibly deep and influential. Even a decade later, it's one of the go-to creativity sandboxes for up-and-coming gamers. I was able to shut my nephews up by suggesting that they work together to build a pool-house. Good enough!

My kids have played Minecraft for years and continue too…it’s no for me though and I couldn’t resist throwing in for Tempest.

T2K is a helluva game, but T4K exists now and supplants it. Minecraft is one of a kind. I tried it for the first time this year as a sort of academic exercise, and the appeal is obvious. Very cool game that deserves to move on.
