We’re almost to the finish line, Game of Thrones fans! We seeded 64 of your favorite characters into a March Madness-style tournament, and then sat back and let you vote for your favorite characters using any criteria you liked. After weeks of voting and more than a few upsets, we’ve finally arrived at the Final Four in our tournament: Daenerys Targaryen vs Jon Snow, and Arya Stark vs Ned Stark. Before we jump to those matchups, let’s review the carnage that got us here in the Elite 8.
Of all the matchups, Dany and Sansa had the closest race, with Dany triumphing by a mere 290 votes. That tilt also had the most overall votes, so it seems everyone was very passionate about those two competitors. Hopefully we don’t see the same tension in season 8! Elsewhere, Jon easily bested his right-hand man Davos, while Ned Stark and the Hound had a surprisingly close battle, even if Old Dead Ned emerged victorious. And our final match saw Arya smash Tyrion Lannister. Sorry, Tyrion.
For a look at how we got here, here’s the full bracket. And then, on to the matches!
Only two matchups remain—VOTE for your favorite!
Well, this is awkward. Daenerys and Jon just got together and now they have to square off in our tournament?
Oh, you thought Jon and Dany was awkward? How about Ned Stark facing off against his own daughter Arya? That’s not the type of family reunion we typically enjoy. Unless it’s Tyrion and Cersei.
Those are our final two matchups. You can vote for your favorite through Sunday evening, then come back Monday (April 8) for our one-day winner-take-all championship!
