PRESS CENTER | PRINTABLE BRACKETS | FINAL GAME: Darwin v. HIV

This is how tournaments go. You end up with some of the classic games in the middle, you find a monster match-up in the Sweet Sixteen. And that's how it went down when Corporate met Darwin, as Rich called it over at Evolgen.

As Rich said,

Yesterday's game between Corporate and Charles Darwin was a battle between free market capitalism and the greatest naturalist of all time. The Corporate team is loaded with the world's top pharmaceutical and chemical companies. Darwin is the author of important works such as On the Origin of Species and The Descent of Man...

...Corporate managed to stage a couple small comebacks with some crafty direct to consumer marketing. But there was no way they could make up the monumental deficit [in the end, to overcome the mighty D].

To find out how Darwin came out on top and to see what kind of promotional budget he was working against, read here.

And in the meantime, lest we remind fans too many times, be sure to weigh in on the Darwin v. HIV Final Game.

Too bad we can't get a little mutual cooperation going on here! Imagine what we could do with that budget!
