BOTTOM 64 — Poll 7

Post by This Old Neon »

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!

Starcraft is really good, and it is a genre-defining game - IMO it's better than Warcraft III, and really refined the map customization offered in Warcraft II to allow much more freedom - to the point where people could create open-world RPGs, Risk-like strategy games, proto-tower defenses (Matrix Defense), Starship Troopers maps, etc.
I'm still impressed by some of the customizations people made - for example, in RPG-style games, going to a shop would temporarily give control of upgrade buildings to "improve equipment". And this is on top of being a really good asymmetric RTS.

That said, I'm abstaining here because I still haven't played Celeste.

It's a shame Celeste didn't make the top 8. It 100% deserves a bottom 32 spot.
