Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Why even play the games?

So far in the BOTBs, the #1 seeds have won 4 of 5.

Rock / #1 Led Zeppelin
Rap / #1 2 Pac
Cuntry / #1 Johnny Cash
Soul / #1 Stevie Wonder

Only outlier is #4 Motörhead winning Metal. The fuck was @UW_Doog_Bot thinking with that 4 seed anyhow?

    Can't be blamed for Metal having a deeper field than other genres.

    I think Metal NIT was a mor evenly matched field. You have to remember that the three biggest metal bands of all tim were already covered in the Rock tournament. If Metallica, Sabbath and AC DC had been in a metal tournament they would have butt fucked the competition.

    I’ve enjoyed these BOTBs immensely, but I’m not surprised most of them went straight chalk. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing BTW, many of the polls came down to the wire, and had interesting debates in the game threads.)

    It might be fun for a change of pace to do something like a music video or movie soundtrack tourney. Those might lend themselves to a few more upsets.

    @Gladstone proposed a poaster popularity tournament once. But the non Dwag bracket is a little weak right now given the bans and quitting.

    Well, we all know @MariotaTheGawd would sweep that bracket.

    AC DC not metal. I'm not sure that Sabbath would have beat Motorhead or even the other final four. They are largely recognized as the progenitors of metal but few people I know would consider them "the best" of the genre. Metallica would have definitely swept the tournament but also only because of main stream recognition and appeal to this group of voters. In a truly metal head tournament the likelihood of a Maiden or Motorhead upset is still really high. Plenty of people really don't like post-black album Metallica.
