The first round of elimination match-ups is now underway for the Consumerist's Worst Company in America for 2014. As was expected, EA is once again in the running, looking to make it a three year streak of "winning" this contest.


In the first round, EA is squaring off against Time Warner Cable. Microsoft is also in the running this year, going against AT&T in the first round. But hey, why vote for companies that are actually bad when you can be a disgruntled gamer and vote for EA as the worst company for a third time!

Voting will begin on March 19 (tomorrow). Each match will only be open for votes for a few hours in these early rounds in order to speed things up. You'll have to visit the Consumerist site for the polls when they go live.
