Made a different thread before finding this one lol.

Anyway this was what I posted in that Op:

Just looking at it, I have some gut reactions:

1) seeding is absolute fucking trash. How are ALL of your 1 seeds and most of the 2s gonna crash and burn by R2? Feels like IGN has 0 grasp of what their readers are actually interested in; Journey as a 2 seed makes me wonder if this was run through RNG.

2) there's like 0 rhyme or reason to the winners so far.

Zoomers have kinda been running circles around 'boomers' (Burnout 3 > Chrono Trigger, Apex > Super Metroid... yikes) but then you see stuff like San Andreas > RDR, WoW > Fortnite, or Mario 3 wrecking shit in general, and it makes me scratch my head.

Definitely different from GFaqs in that Nintendo is really poorly, with Mario 3 and BotW being the only quarterfinalists (and against each other at that); JRPGs got btfo with P5, FFVII, and CT getting wrecked in R1 and Pokemon losing in R2.

Then there's just random shit like RotTR beating Half Life 2 or Skyrim vs ACIV being a 58-42 match that doesn't make much sense from any lense.

If I'd tried to make a bracket for this tournament I'd have been slaughtered lol. There isn't a cohesive culture over there like there is on GFaqs, probably because these are run on like 4 sites
