Go go underdog! It helps that this is the first round where I probably would have voted for the human's opponent on its own merits, even if they weren't up against the most common, boring, uninspired, and oppressively popular race in the game.
Gamer 1: Hey, ENWorld's having this set of March Madness inspired polls right now to pick their favorite fantasy race!
Gamer 2: That sounds pretty cool. Who ended up winning?
Gamer1: Humans. .....*suddenly feels the need for pause*
Gamer2: ...Their favorite fantasy race...was...humans?
Gamer1: *still silent*
Gamer2: Pretty creative bunch over there, eh?
