“In the game of thrones, you win or you die.”
The Elite 8 of our Game of Thrones March Madness tournament are here, and there are some compelling matchups heading into the Final Four. But before we look ahead, let’s look back at the carnage of the last week.
Our Sweet 16 round featured many a friend or family member putting down a loved one. From Jon smashing Bran to Jaime eliminating Brienne, there were a lot of tears. Daenerys ended Missandei’s Cinderella run, while Ned Stark put an end to his former ward, Theon Greyjoy. Both had improbable runs, with Missandei in particular sending Joffrey and Catelyn Stark packing. Our thanks for the former. Now, let’s look at our complete Elite 8 bracket:
First up, Jon Snow takes on Arya Stark in a heartbreaker of a battle. We’re gonna need some tissue for this one. Elsewhere, Samwell Tarly, our lowest remaining seed, goes up against Sansa Stark.
On the less friendly side of things, Daenerys Targaryen looks for revenge against the man who killed her father: Aerys. Will Jaime end up dragon food, or a Queenslayer? Finally, Tyrion squares off with the scion of House Stark, good old Ned.
