Weeks after we started of Game of Thrones March Madness tournament with a field of 64 of your favorite characters, we finally have a champion just days before the season 8 premiere. Whittling down such a diverse and wonderful group of characters wasn’t easy, but the fans have spoken, and your 2019 champion is…
HOT PIE!
Kidding aside, for the second year in a row, you the fans have chosen none other than the King in the North Jon Snow as your favorite character! Daenerys’ new boy toy (and nephew) took down a who’s who of fan favorites en route to the championship, including Lyanna Mormont, Ser Davos Seaworth and his brother/cousin Robb Stark.
The final results:
Jon’s final opponent was his sister/cousin Arya Stark, the world’s spunkiest teenage assassin. Arya made a strong showing this year; perhaps her return to Winterfell in season 7 boosted her popularity? This tournament also marked the first time Tyrion did not make the finals; in years before this, the littlest Lannister lost to first Littlefinger and then Jon.
We’ll be back with another tournament next year, and it will be interesting to see who’s star rises and falls after the whole series is complete. Thanks everyone who voted and bring on season 8!
