Game of Thrones meets March Madness, Championship Round: Vote for your favorite character
By Corey Smith
WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME OF THRONES, YOU WIN OR YOU DIE. — Cersei Lannister
After an interesting couple of weeks, our March Madness tournament is finally coming to a close. We started with 32 of the most popular Game of Thrones characters, pitted them against each other, and asked you to choose your favorites. Over the past couple of weeks, 32 characters have been whittled down to two. Here’s how voting on the Final Four went:
Tyrion Lannister vs. Sansa Stark
Sansa fans carried the eldest Stark daughter all the way to the Final Four, but her ex-husband Tyrion Lannister secured a spot in our championship with a ten percent margin of victory. (Or is current husband? We’ve heard conflicting reports.)
Oberyn Martell vs. Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish
Our other matchup wasn’t nearly as close, as Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish handily defeated Oberyn Martell. Littlefinger’s strong showing in the tournament has been surprising — will he climb the ladder all the way to the top?

And so we have arrived at our championship round: Tyrion Lannister vs. Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish. These two were nominal rivals when they were both in King’s Landing. Neither is a fighter, so our final round comes down to a battle of wits. Who emerges victorious and will be crowned champion? You decide. Choose wisely.
