## Tournament Results

We did another streaming sites tournament to help us better re-order and clean
up the section. When we did this publicly the first time there was obvious
cheating, so we decided to make this more private and allowed only members with
Discord roles to vote. During each round we also had discussions about the sites
which can be viewed in our Discord polls channel. These discussions were taken
into account when reordering, but for the most part, we relied on the voting
results.

In the end, some sites managed to keep their previous spots, while a few have been
starred, unstarred, or even removed if they were low quality or broken. If you
see a round with no votes either way, it means one of the sites was DQ'd.

We'll be doing more tournaments in the future, so make sure to join our Discord
if you want to be a part of them, and let us know which sections you'd like to
see most.

### Things Removed

- Unstarred Vimm's Lair, they thought it was trolls at first, but now
  [Lego and Sega](https://i.ibb.co/Dp9Kwk4/image.png) have both joined to take
  down games.

- Unstarred XDM + Motrix; neither is updated as often as other big download managers
  and XDM gives people issues on mobile.

- Unstarred SKLauncher; it's closed-source, can't download with adblock enabled,
  and we have better MC launchers listed anyways.
