And here are the 8 teams added to the tournament today…

• The Division 2
• Guild Wars 2
• The Witcher 3
• ArcheAge
• Diablo 3
• Deathloop
• Darksiders II
• Star Wars Galaxies

I’ve already selected a game that technically has shut down…City of Heroes…and this time, I make another pick that’s gonna require a third-party resurrected game server in Star Wars Galaxies. From what I’ve3 heard, I don’t think I’d have difficulties jumping into the reborn game, and also, from those who love the game, I can easily see myself playing this MMO even though I never installed the game when it was officially running.

This group of seeds has some pretty interesting picks…I’ve heard good and bad things about ArcheAge, and Diablo 3 has the stigma of Blizzard on it, so I’m not sure how that will impact things. A lot of people are jumping back into Guild Wars 2, and of course, The Witcher 3 has a pretty good reputation. As I’m heading down the back end of the selection process, I’m getting excited to figure out how I’m going to determine the winners of each of the specific matches, but I’m not finalized on the process yet.

Tomorrow I head into seeds 11 and 12.
