Board 8 > Are the brackets randomized with some tweaks?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I do not know how the brackets are setup and am unable to use the correct search parameter to find an existing conversation. Out of curiosity, are the brackets purely randomized or are certain big name/popular games limited from going up against each other too early?

I ask this cause I saw The Outer Worlds going against The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I expected The Outer Worlds to lose but could not help but wonder what if another big name/popular game went up against BotW this early on and how upsetting that might be to some folks's personal brackets.

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you

Games are seeded based on popularity, nominations, metascores, etc. So the odds of two big names facing each other early is low.

Thanks for the response and clarification. I can see that approach making sense and can understand how upsetting it would be if two big name games goes against each other too early.
