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!

This one pains me, because Astro is an extremely cute, polished, tightly-designed, and very fun platformer. But the original Left 4 Dead is an influential and quality hangout gaming experience. I'm honestly not sure what it's doing in the lower bracket already, but it definitely deserves to survive for another round.

I had a lot of fun with Astro. It was a really good platformer/tech demo/love letter to the history of Playstation.

Astro is great, but Left 4 Dead is one of my all-time favorite co-op games. Probably my first really good online co-op game that I spent hours playing with friends if memory serves (my parents didn't upgrade to decent internet until pretty late). Lots of love for it, even if I prefer the Southern setting of L4D2.
