AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 03/24/14 -- SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced that its 2014 Bracket Battle will feature the best of the best in the gaming world. Hosted on thwack, SolarWinds' online IT Pro community, this bracket-based, "March Mayhem"-style competition will start on March 24, 2014 with 33 of the most popular and iconic games to grace arcades, consoles and computers until only one victor escapes the ultimate "game over." Each round winners are selected by the popular vote of the thwack audience.

The game vs. game match-ups that gaming enthusiasts have long debated will finally become a reality at thwack.com. This year's battle features 33 video game titans that span various platforms and genres and thwack members will decide who stands victorious in this knock out battle. The initial bracket including all of the first round grudge-matches will be announced on March 24, but to fuel the frenzy of excitement, consider this:

• Who would you rather have by your side - Tommy Vercetti or John Marston?
• Could the Umbrella Corporation thrive in Rapture?
• Would Bald Bull's reach defeat Mileena's dual sias?

These match-ups can be decided by a landslide or come down to a single deciding vote. So, gamers should start mobilizing troops and conjuring up Intimidating Shouts to ensure that the game that engulfs your nights and weekends is crowned champion. Tweet up a storm, engage your Facebook friends and promote your agenda in other communities to ensure success for your game -- make sure to use #LevelUp or #SWIBracketBattle so that fellow supporters can join you in battle and fierce competitors can see what they are up against.
