[The first winner is on the board](https://aftermath.site/2023-game-of-the-year-spider-man-2-dredge/). The crowd continues to cry for blood. The 2023 Game Of The Year Deathmatch continues.

With [The Little Boat From Dredge emerging victorious from our first matchup](https://aftermath.site/2023-game-of-the-year-spider-man-2-dredge/), it's now time to see who will join them in the tournament's first quarter final. Before we do, though, a rules recap!

There are 16 games in the mix for Game of the Year 2023\. We're pitting them against each other in a knockout tournament. But we're not pitting the games themselves against each other; instead, we're selecting a Champion from in or around each game and having them duke it out in the arena in hand-to-hand (or weapon-to-weapon, or hand-to-weapon) combat. The winner, decided via a schoolyard "would Batman beat Superman" style debate, moves on. The loser does not. Here's how things stand after one bout:

The next showdown is between blockbuster Souls-lite *Star Wars: Jedi Survivor* and *Cities: Skylines II*, a game that isn't even very good, but one day *might be*. In one corner, representing Star Wars and fresh from saving the galaxy twice, we have The Redneck Jedi himself, Cal Kestis. And in the other corner, representing *Cities: Skylines II* and embodying everything that was so weird about its launch, performance and the discourse surrounding it, we have...[A Mouth Full Of Unnecessary Teeth](https://www.pcgamer.com/cities-skyline-2-dev-says-yes-our-characters-have-teeth-no-the-characters-teeth-are-not-affecting-performance/?ref=aftermath.site).

OK, fighters, touch gloves/teeth...LET'S FIGHT:

**Nathan**: I did not even know about these teeth until now.

**Luke**: By the time you really get going in *Jedi Survivor*, redneck Jedi Cal Kestis has got pretty damn powerful. More than powerful enough to handle a city full of people with more teeth than they need for a city-building video game, I think.

They might slow him down, sure, but I don't think they can stop him.

**Riley**: I don't know, though! A city's worth of teeth is… a lot of teeth. Can he beat ALL the teeth?

**Luke**: They're not, like, evil teeth. They're not Imperial Teeth. They're just teeth.

**Riley**: But we are talking an ungodly number of teeth. It's too many people! It's too many teeth! I'm on team teeth!

**Nathan**: Right, the sheer volume of teeth might render him temporarily helpless.

**Riley**: I think the teeth take this!

**Gita**: I want Redneck Cal Kestis to win this but I have no justification for him defeating a city full of teeth.

I’m afraid the teeth are too powerful.

**WINNER: SOME TEETH**

Congratulations to The Mouth Full Of Unnecessary Teeth, who will now face The Little Boat From Dredge in the quarter finals.
