The only way to shut down the league topic is to make a topic here asking to upvote spam the reddit thread. They'll be forced to follow their rules and close it.


hahahahaha this is hilarious. We should so do this just for the sheer, ridiculous irony of it all. Better yet, find one of Kanz's old posts telling people to upvote it, screenshot it and send it in. They'd have to close it then.

Down 860 at the end of Power Hour? With 14,000 votes in the bank? Link's exceeded all my expectations. Keeping it under 3000 overnight? We'll see :(

Link is awesome. Dude just refuses to falter. He might get murdered during the night, especially since these Draven rallies seem to hold a lot of steam, but it's Link!

Dude can come back from the grave during the day.

Just staying above 10% would be a victory for Shepard. I thought that was a bigger longshot than Link winning!

Draven's base strength would be boosted, if nothing else, by bracket votes. Or more specifically, people wanting to keep their expert challenge alive.

There's like 500 people following the Expert challenge.

That is not going to boost Draven's strength.

The Link-killer mantle as HM suggested is what would be boosting Draven's base strength.

Any exposure that's not on a LoL site is good for Link, at this point.

BTW...link? No pun intended lol

Link winning here actually deserves a ****storm because he is the underdog now
Draven winning and pulling in more votes than he did against X and Ryu is the most possible outcome
Personally if I wake up to a result of something like 70% Draven and 20% Link my post is just going to be "oh"

oh.

Actually no,this is much closer than I thought and with this being 24 hour match its possible for the reddit rally to die

Man that was a badass contest pic


Just saw the one where Link has his shield raised against Draven and Shepard's all like "BUMP THIS IM RUNNING BETWEEN YOU GUYS LIKE A BADASS"


YES, one of the most sick contest pics I've ever seen! Too badass!

I have to say, I'm really quite impressed by what Link's doing here. Obviously the Draven rally this time around is a lot weaker than what we saw in Ryu/X, and it seems to be following more, uh, "normal" rally trends.

I guess LoL being down really had that much impact (provided there was no cheating involved).

Only if Link can make a match of it.

This pace will slow down if Draven winning becomes an inevitability.

I personally think both...while LoL being down certainly contributed to the early rally, it wasn't the reason why the "rally" kept going for 12 hours.

If Link does well overnight, I would say he's gonna be in great position to rock it tomorrow. Draven will probably make some big gains, though.

Told ya'll you were bailing on Link too soon. That second update where Link refused to die changed *everything* about analyzing this match.

Plenty more will bail once Draven totally rocks the overnight vote, and these people will say a Link comeback is "hopeless"...but when the sun comes out.

LINK. HE COME TO TOWN.
