Tournament of Nerds was Epic!

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Thanks to all who hosted, judged, participated, and attended!
This was so much fun!

The final battles are:

Iron Man vs. Darth Vader
Wonder Woman vs. Rorschach
Batman vs. Jason
Mr. Miyagi vs. Predator

These pairings from the brackets won’t make any sense to people who weren’t there.

Be sure to attend the final rounds at UCB Friday, July 11th.

G4 Weighs In on Tonight’s Tournament of Nerds

Dorksplosion At The G4 Offices

When Meltdown Comics in LA announced a debate to determine which of 20 nerd icons would win in a fight, the G4 internal email list erupted in a brawl to rival The Kinslaying.

Honest, from-the-heart dorkcraft of this level is a thing rarely experienced outside of the Society for Creative Anachronism’s annual Pennsic war. You can almost smell the diabetes and gout as you read their impassioned arguments. Some choice quotes and the full bracket of 20 badass competitors after the jump.
