Semifinals: The brutal war to determine the best RTS unit of all time needs your votes
PC Gamer is conducting a bracket-style tournament to democratically determine the greatest real-time strategy unit of all time through community voting. The competition launched with 16 iconic RTS units in contention. After the first round, eight units advanced to the quarterfinals, where competition remained fierce. The quarterfinals eliminated four more units, with some matchups decided by razor-thin margins—two battles saw the victor claim only 10% more votes than their opponent. Notable eliminations in the tournament include the Dolphin and Peon units, disappointing supporters of these fan-favorite choices.
The tournament has now progressed to the semifinals stage, the second half of the competition, where the remaining units will be whittled down to two finalists for the championship matchup. PC Gamer is calling on readers to participate in the voting process, allowing the RTS community to shape the outcome. The competition represents a unique blend of gaming nostalgia and democratic participation, giving fans of real-time strategy games the opportunity to collectively determine which unit deserves recognition as the greatest of all time.
