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!

Civ IV having "beyond the Sword" in its title for a match-up against Pokemon Sword is pretty apt.

Civ IV might be the one game I've played in this round enough to consider voting for it. But I've barely played Pokemon as a series, so I only have a vague awareness of how Sword/Shield was received.

I don't think I'd go back to Civ IV even though I enjoyed it at the time. Older Civs are more nostalgia-inducing, while newer Civs are more interesting. So here I am writing words instead of voting.
