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!

Seeing Chrono Trigger lined up against Xenogears makes you think this might be much closer to the overall finals, but this is just the DS port, which we collectively evicted to the lower brackets last round... and for that reason, I don't mind casting a vote for Xenogears here. It deserves to live on, perhaps to have a chance to go head to head against the real Chrono Trigger one day...

DS Chrono Trigger is a decent port, and I don't find the added content all that objectionable, but Xenogears is a great, weird, wordy game that absolutely deserves to win over a port of its earlier cousin.
