Warning: Our Game of Madness articles will include content from the five currently released A Song of Ice and Fire books and seasons 1-5 of HBO’s adaptation Game of Thrones. Some material from A Feast for Crows and A Dance With Dragons has not been covered in the show yet, but may be in season 6. If you aren’t caught up with the books and/or show, read on with care.
The Regional Finals
After two rounds of action, the field of 48 has been slashed and smashed down to just 12. We started our contest with 6 regions, each with 8 fighters that were paired up for one vs one trial by combat style fights. Today, we will crown the champion of each region, deciding who will have a spot in our finals. If you didn’t catch the first two rounds or need a refresher on how the matches played out, take some time before moving on to round three (Revisit round one, round two). If you’d rather get right to the action, our final 12 are:

Some who fall today will be warriors more than worthy of our finals but only six can stake their claims. Let the madness continue…
