We are now in the second half of the most brutal war to play out on the pages of this venerable website—a war that will determine, through democracy and science, which RTS unit is the greatest of them all.
Two weeks ago, the conflict started with 16 units. Last week, eight survivors duked it out in the quarterfinals. Blood was shed and four more units were tossed into the void. It was tight—with two battles ending with the victor claiming only 10% more of the votes. My two faves, the noble Dolphin and humble Peon were killed off. I weep for these fallen heroes.
But there's no more time for sentimentality. Another battle is about to begin. Clean off the blood and get ready for the semifinals. It's time to choose which two units will be going head-to-head in the glorious final battle.
During the quarterfinals, I made a prediction. One I was pretty confident about. But was I right?
I was pretty close, actually! The only one I got wrong was Peon, which has honestly shocked the hell out of me. In the first round, my sweet green boy utterly dominated the Glass Dragon, and it's been getting plenty of love in the comments. I did not expect to see it get knocked out by a tank. Just a tank! OK, it's probably unfair to call the indomitable Mammoth Tank "just a tank", but the Peon was robbed.
Clearly we've got some tank fans, but even more Star Destroyer fans.
