You've gotta give Snake a shot. He's looked absolutely fearsome this year, Link likely will have to deal with that Nintendo third entrant (just not Mario), and there's always a chance that some LoLers will stick around to influence the final polls, and one must figure they wouldn't be too happy with Link. Kind of funny how, at this point, L-Block would be Link's best friend in the finals.


Are we watching the same match? Snake has no chance.

We've substituted an obvious champion in Draven for an obvious champion in Link. What's to celebrate here?

Hey guys, is it just me or did the Draven rally disappear from the first page?


Yeap it's gone. But Draven didn't slow down considerably this update. Maybe next?

Maybe they think it's only a 12 hour match and that Draven only needs to last 10 more minutes.

oh man the very thought of that

Wow this is pretty hype! First time I've ever gotten excited for a Link victory!

I still think Snake has an outside chance of beating Link if Samus/Charizard are with them, but its looking pretty unlikely...

no clue, usually r/lol mods have a strict policy against remaking a thread to get it higher on the front page, so the only reason i could think was that they decided that it was giving them too much grief having to deal with ass-hats like Luster Soldier attempting to mass-downvote everything and everyone.

It's only exciting in the context of the match, it dooms the rest of the contest. A weak Draven scrapping by would be the best result because he suddenly looks vulnerable to anyone and anything with Reddit mods and the community getting fed up of the rallies.

Seem that Draven rally thread is gone.

Beautiful. The greatest comeback in contest history.

I believed Link could do it a few hours ago. When Link was down 6000 votes. In no small part due to reading your posts, creative. I had to know I wasn't crazy in thinking that comeback was possible.

There's a thread on GameFAQs asking people to downvote this post. Needless to say, all downvotes come from angry kids who have been complaining all day about how "Reddit is ruining their contest."


This might actually re-energize Draven...
