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!

Phantasy Star II is, in my opinion, the finest in the series and the series itself is outstanding. Epic in scope and executed brilliantly by the designers. I miss this game often…even though I have it - it’s such a commitment!

The Ikuto dungeon is maddening.

Phantasy Star II is unquestionably one of the best and most memorably 16-bit RPGs, and it's got a lot of competition. (To clarify, by "one of the best" I mean it competes for a spot in the top 10 rather than the top 100.)

StarCraft II is the apotheosis of the entire RTS genre, still the highlight of the competitive RTS scene, and it has taken till arguably now for others to come along with enough enduring appeal to start vying alongside it. That's like 14 years of genre dominance. That's nuts. The game is good.
