Hey, Kotor II’s on the board! The second most nominated game in the whole tournament, it’s struggled to resonate with most of our voters. But 8 out of 18 is good enough for a 44.44% ranking, which should be more than enough to make the playoffs.

37.04%, now. The climb to 40% continues; with just over 2/3rds of all groups reporting in, will our final cutoff be above or below?

It’s time for group play! We have 1,086 songs in this tournament; they have been broken up into 34 groups of 322. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! We’re doing things a little differently this time around. Winning your group no longer means anything; instead, songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round.3 After all groups are done, the top 256 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs!
…unless! By popular demand, we’re also implementing a diversity system! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 256, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 257+4 in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 25 will be active until Sunday September 13th at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 24 is active until 10:00 pm tonight; vote here. Group 17 will start Tuesday and be active until Wednesday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 25 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
You can work ahead if you like:
