Just an update on round 3, the 16:

Voting will begin March 27.

Also, the games' start times will stagger between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. EDT, but the games will still last 24 hours. So if you don't see a game running just yet, make sure to stick around, because it's coming!

Will Blizzard be enought to beat the Civ legions? The weather in Sweden says yes!

It will be hard to call any of the next match-ups. I'm so excited!

I've just taken a look at this whole March Madness thing (I generally avoid things suffixed with madness on the internet. Not sure why,) but I'm abstaining from the contest. Why I hear you ask?

Where the hell is valve??? Undoubtedly one of the finest developers on the planet and they're nowhere to be seen! What the fuck guys?

Taking on Rare in the east?

Didn't look very hard, did we?

They are a number 4 seed in the east. Next time you decide to write out a rant, check with someone smarter than you to make sure it's warranted.

This is weird. Rare, Valve, Doublefine and Lionhead are my top 4 favorite developers and they're all the top developers in the east bracket. :/

Yet more curious:
The vote totals for the past two rounds have been extremely skewed towards the top teams. In numbers:
tops
35/48
bottoms
12/48

Round 1 saw an overwhelming 26 top teams take prizes...
tops
26/32
bottoms
6/32

...Whereas Round 2 saw a bit more levelling out.
tops
9/16
bottoms
7/16

Maybe one could predict the Great 8 this way?

It's really hard to say. There were some major upsets in the first round and a couple decent in the second round as well. It think it will depend on the 2 types of people that are part of this community. There are those that will actually, regardless of how much they like a certain developer, see a company for what they are worth in total (like Nintendo) and say that regardless of whom Nintendo is up against, they are just too strong and can't be beat by anyone else until facing another #1 seed (basically being realistic). There are the others that will vote simply on the fact of a potential upset and what developer they would like to see win. Do the reasonable people outweigh the chaos vendors? Well, this is a tournament, we'll find out soon and the best part is, nobody is really wrong.
