Team Rocket Elite 09/14/21 10:45:06 AM #79:	Apparently the page update was accidental and they took it down. It used to say: After more than 13 million votes (10 million on Instagram Stories alone), IGN's Best Video Game of All Time Bracket's first round kicked off with a bang. And, judging by the final results, high seeding will not be enough to save any game from elimination. Upsets Galore Out of 32 total matchups, a whopping 11 ended in upsets, with two 1 seeds (Super Mario World, Super Metroid) going down. The biggest upset in terms of margin of victory came from 12 seed Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which took 85% of the vote against 5 seed Sid Meier's Civilization IV, a difference of more than 300,000 total votes. The narrowest margin of victory came in the form of 15 seed Rise of the Tomb Raider beating out 2 seed Half Life 2 by only four percentage points, or about 16,000 votes. Instagram Makes Champions With nearly 73% of votes coming via Instagram Stories, each game needs a strong performance there to hope to advance. For example, 3 seed Chrono Trigger beat 14 seed Burnout 3: Takedown on every platform but Instagram, which was enough to tilt the scales in favor of the underdog. If you're passionate about a favorite game, make sure you're also voting for it on Instagram to help its chances. The Round of 32 Is Totally Unpredictable Could we lose another 1 seed when Red Dead Redemption squares off against another Rockstar classic, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? Will the other 1 seed Portal 2 stand a chance against 2018 powerhouse God of War? Voting for Round 2 is open now, and it's clear that things are just getting started! --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.
