ZeroSignal620 04/15/21 9:16:37 PM #84:	Best Game of 2019 https://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?1&tid=472920 Ran: January 2020 Overall top seed: Resident Evil 2 1 seeds: Resident Evil 2, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Kingdom Hearts III, Fire Emblem: Three Houses Final Four: Resident Evil 2, AI: The Somnium Files, Kingdom Hearts III, Disco Elysium Ultimate Loser: Hypnospace Outlaw Championship: Disco Elysium defeated AI: The Somnium Files 15-13 Capcom struck gold with its remake of Resident Evil 2 released 21 years after the original, and it was more than enough for the board to vote it the overall #1 seed. Fire Emblem secured the overall #2 seed, while Kingdom Hearts III and Bloodstained got the last top seeds. As the lowest scoring of the 4 top seeds, Bloodstained barely held off Sekiro for the top spot, so Sekiro's #2 seed would have to suffice and set up a potential Bloodstained vs Sekiro showdown in the Elite Eight. Little did we know how absolutely nuts the tournament was going to be. On the 4th day of the tournament, Sekiro started its run against #15 seed Ring Fit Adventure. What no one expected to see, however, was a TIE at the end of regulation, 6-6. On the fifth day, the overtime session remained close, but in a shocking turn of events, Ring Fit Adventure won 8-6 in overtime for a final score of 14-12. It took 23 tournaments for a #15 seed to finally win a match, and it came at the expense of a huge Game of the Year winner across multiple sources. You'd think it would end there, but in round 2, Ring Fit Adventure got a 8-7 victory over #7 seed Astral Chain. Round 3 set up a showdown between Ring Fit and #6 seed Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. How nuts did this matchup get? Two words: Triple Overtime. Ring Fit refused to go down and put up an incredible fight. Had someone not casted a vote in the final 15 seconds for Yooka-Laylee 2, we'd have seen quadruple overtime. The final score was 60-59 in favor of the unlikely duo. Ring Fit Adventure became the first #15 seed to win a match, and then did it a second time; its performance in 2019 can never be taken away. The rest of the tournament would definitely have crazy moments too. Slay the Spire would blow its #3 seed by losing in overtime to #14 seed Devotion. The first round ended with #12 seed Bug Fables getting the upset over #5 seed Jedi Fallen Order. Besides that, it was business as usual for most higher seeds in round 1. Round 2? About that... Bloodstained and Fire Emblem immediately blew their #1 seed spots. Bloodstained lost 18-16 in OT to Life is Strange 2, and Three Houses loses 9-7 to Tetris 99. In Bloodstained's region, AI took advantage of the upset and knocked off Life is Strange, followed by Yooka-Laylee 2 to advance to the Final Four. In Fire Emblem's region, Super Mario Maker 2 was able to get out of the 8-pack that Fire Emblem was in, only to run into a dark horse named Disco Elysium. A #2 seed in Fire Emblem's region, Disco Elysium was a PC only title (at the time) with wins over After Party, Judgment, and the Outer Wilds. Finally, it easily put away Mario Maker 2 17-11 for the Final Four. Kingdom Hearts III only had one struggle and that was an 8-6 win over Untitled Goose Game in round 2. Besides that, convincing wins over The Glass Staircase, Control, and The Outer Worlds would give KH3 a Final Four spot. Finally, Resident Evil 2 laid waste to Team Sonic Racing, Dragon Quest Builders 2, and Trails of Cold Steel III before winning a respectable match against Devil May Cry 5 for the last Final Four spot. The semifinals were interesting from different perspectives. Kingdom Hearts III and Disco Elysium would actually meet later on in the GameFAQs Best Game of the Decade tournament. While KH3 would win that match, Disco Elysium would win this one 22-17. The match between Resident Evil 2 and AI would be the one that disappointed me. 2019 was the year Capcom finally listened to their fans and released two landmark titles; Resident Evil 2 ended up going into overtime against The Somnium Files... and lost 32-29. I looked up AI. 32 of you guys voted an anime game over Resident Evil 2 -_-. Again though, that's my opinion, and it is what it is. AI brought the fight to Disco Elysium in the championship, but the PC sleeper would win 15-13 in a match where it never lost its lead. Very recently, Disco Elysium got released for PlayStation 4 and it set for Switch and Xbox releases later this year. However, at the end of 2019, Disco was only on PC, making it the first PC exclusive game to win one of these tournaments. 2019 was a crazy tournament to make up for the previous one that was straight down the middle. The upsets in the first 2 rounds definitely shook the tournament off its foundation and prevented potentially good runs from Bloodstained, Fire Emblem, and Sekiro. And in the end, the most unlikeliest of winners escaped with the gold.
