Corvinus85 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 With the NCAA basketball tournament upon us, I thought of a fun "fill out your bracket" game, but with warrior characters from ASOIAF. I took the liberty to pick the names (64 in total) and rank them 1-16, just as the NCAA does it. In terms of whom I chose as characters, I chose characters who appear only in the span of the novels, and as for fighting ability, I considered them as they were at their best DURING the span of the novels (that's why Robert B. is not on the list) Sorry if you don't agree with all, but the NCAA doesn't always get it right either. And you'll have the opportunity to disagree with me by simply filling out the bracket. 1 Ser Jaime Lannister; Ser Barristan Selmy; Oberyn Martell; Syrio Forel 2 Mance Rayder; Khal Drogo; Ser Gregor Clegane; Sandor Clegane 3 Qhorin Halfhand; Areo Hotah; Ser Garlan Tyrell; Ser Bronn of the Blackwater 4 Ser Jorah Mormont; Andrik the Unsmiling; Brienne of Tarth; Ser Lyn Corbray 5 Strong Belwas; Ser Loras Tyrell; Beric Dondarrion; Bronze Yohn Royce 6 Jason Mallister; Shagga son of Dolf; Victarion Greyjoy; Ser Archibald Yronwood 7 Jon Snow; Greatjon Umber; Ser Harras Harlaw; Timmett son of Timmett 8 Thoros of Myr; Ser Mandon Moore; Jon Connington; Ser Lyle Crakehall 9 Qarl the Maid; Ser Rolland Storm; Ser Daemon Sand; Ser Balon Swann 10 Daario Naharis; Ser Lothor Brune; Caggo Corpsekiller; Ser Addam Marbrand 11 Iron Emmett; Ser Ilyn Payne; Ser Robar Royce; Ser Hosteen Frey 12 Yoren; Morgan Liddle; Eddard Stark; Tumco Lho 13 Jory Cassel; Ser Arys Oakheart; The Spotted Cat; Ser Gerold Dayne 14 Asha Greyjoy; Red Ronnet Connington; Ser Godry Farring; Obara Sand 15 Rakharo; Randyll Tarly; Dagmer Cleftjaw; Ser Brynden Tully 16 Ser Rodrik Cassel; Tytos Blackwood; Ser Rolly Duckfield; Tormund Giantsbane I randomly paired the characters for the initial round to create the bracket. There are 4 segments, which are in spoilers to save some space. In each segment, the bracket goes like this: 1 v 16 winner faces 8 v. 9 winner; 5 v. 12 winner faces 4 v. 13 winner; winner of each go against each other. 6 v. 11 winner faces 3 v. 14 winner; 7 v. 10 winner faces 2 v. 15 winner; winner of each go against each other Remainder two character go against each other to win the segment. The winner of segment 1 fights against the winner of segment 3, and 2 and 4 go together, then the championship bout. Segment 1 Spoiler 1 Oberyn Martell 16 Tormund Giantsbane 8 Thoros of Myr 9 Ser Balon Swann 5 Beric Dondarrion 12 Tumco Lho 4 Andrik the Unsmiling 13 Ser Arys Oakheart 6 Shagga son of Dolf 11 Iron Emmett 3 Areo Hotah 14 Ser Godry Farring 7 Greatjon Umber 10 Caggo Corpsekiller 2 Khal Drogo 15 Dagmer Cleftjaw Segment 2 Spoiler 1 Ser Jaime Lannister 16 Tytos Blackwood 8 Jon Connington 9 Ser Rolland Storm 5 Strong Belwas 12 Morgan Liddle 4 Brienne of Tarth 13 Ser Gerold Dayne 6 Victarion Greyjoy 11 Ser Robar Royce 3 Ser Bronn of the Blackwater 14 Red Ronnet Connington 7 Ser Harras Harlaw 10 Ser Addam Marbrand 2 Sandor Clegane 15 Ser Brynden Tully Segment 3 Spoiler 1 Ser Barristan Selmy 16 Ser Rolly Duckfield 8 Ser Lyle Crakehall 9 Ser Daemon Sand 5 Ser Loras Tyrell 12 Eddard Stark 4 Ser Jorah Mormont 13 The Spotted Cat 6 Jason Mallister 11 Ser Hosteen Frey 3 Qhorin Halfhand 14 Obara Sand 7 Timmett son of Timmett 10 Ser Lothor Brune 2 Mance Rayder 15 Rakharo Segment 4 Spoiler 1 Syrio Forel 16 Ser Rodrik Cassel 8 Ser Mandon Moore 9 Qarl the Maid 5 Bronze Yohn Royce 12 Yoren 4 Ser Lyn Corbray 13 Jory Cassel 6 Ser Archibald Yronwood 11 Ser Ilyn Payne 3 Ser Garlan Tyrell 14 Asha Greyjoy 7 Jon Snow 10 Daario Naharis 2 Ser Gregor Clegane 15 Randyll Tarly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
