I'm not gonna lie, Link shocked me with that second update. So I guess it took a Draven to brink Link back up to his full strength.

Are LoLers voting for Link or something? This doesn't make sense...


It's possible. Despite what a lot think, they (we) aren't complete LoLdrones, as evidenced by Teemo's result.

Blowback from a legit rally.

Now once Europe starts going nuts, this match is over. But this is the first of Draven's three matches that passes the eye test for "normal trends".

This whole thing is amazing.

If Link is within 1000 at Power Hour then that's a huge victory.

And yeah, as others have said, I think Link/Shep are getting more votes from the Draven rally than MMX/Ryu did.

I saw that in the topic, yeah. Lots of Shepard support, too.

I'm just curious why the Ryu/X topic had similar sentiment with no blowback at all. Not saying Draven cheated, that match was too far out of reach, but it's really odd. Does Reddit just vote once and then go do something else? If so, why not the same tonight?

The Draven rally is currently on the second page of r/all, which probably explains why Link is getting a lot of votes from this rally.

During the later rounds of the contest, the admin cycles through multiple user-submitted pictures for each match. We've had some really amazing ones in the past.

My only hope against this is that "trends" have been completely wrong this contest. That, and the hope that the blowback will continue into Europe (wouldn't Link/Shep get more votes than MMX/Ryu, even in Europe?)
