I know I won't win this thing but I can take home being one of seven Gurus to get all 4 points from today's matchups.

Congrats to the rest of you too!

I wouldn't be surprised if I was close. I have a real cookie bracket and I'll have 4 losses after today.

It could be a while. A lot of round 1 is pretty clear-cut, and people generally don't have brackets that are similar enough for 1-point matches to make the difference.

FWIW, you need Borderlands 3 > Horizon Zero Dawn in order to tie pirate109. If not, he eliminates you.

No brackets are at stake for the 4 matchups that start in the next hour.

There goes Dragon's Dogma winning two matches.

Well done Shovel Knight, and well done @Bossman_Coolguy , who is also @greengravy294 I guess. Tomorrow I like your Ori pick, Death Stranding not so much, but we'll see.

In a bracket this big, it'll probably be a while unless two people basically have identical brackets except for a meaningless 1 point match.

Looking ahead, it seems as though the first match that will have any effect on the standings is Overwatch vs Death Stranding. Bossman took Death Stranding there in an upset pick, so if Overwatch wins, that will eliminate our final perfect.

I'm in a great spot to secure a temporary top 5 spot assuming there are no upsets tomorrow, which I'm pretty sure is a first for me.

Tied for top 5, anyway. I assume my name is at the top because I was one of the first people to enter a bracket.

I'd like to pat myself on the back for this Ori pick, but I have to kick myself for not putting enough faith in indies!

Keep an eye on the 6 gurus with Witness > Yakuza, the 6 with Necrodancer > FFXIV, and especially the 3 with Terraria > Bioshock, because they all will soon be looking like geniuses.

I'd put Bioshock Infinite at around DA: Inquisition's level.

I don't know if I would pick Terraria > Minecraft, though.

World of Warcraft was probably the best MMO of the previous decade but that didn't help it much.

Yakuza 0 is legitimately well-liked, and catapulted its series into the mainstream, whereas The Witness is a puzzler lots of people immediately wrote off for its price among other factors. I fully expect it to be one of the weakest games in this field.

Those other two indie upsets, though...
