Not sure if Link wins with that 90 minutes but it's definitely really close to the end.

I just don't understand how Allen can justify letting this result stand when it's completely obvious the 90 minutes of downtime not only cost Link the match, but potentially cost us one of the most incredible finishes in contest history.

Think about it, if Link cuts off 1,500 votes we have a >100 vote deficit either way going into the last hour....

This match becomes legendary. So no matter what result you want, we were robbed of a true classic finish.

Yeah, the fact that Draven couldn't even match his 56k votes from last round in twice the amount of time calls the Round 2 match into all kinds of question.

Doesn't matter, but still.


Honestly, a rally is going to be less effective every single time it's put int he same place. We also pissed off a lot of people because a lot of Draven topics on League subreddit kept getting deleted for spam.

I know that was intended by b8, but there are multiple reasons for the rally not being as effective. Does not necessarily mean foul play.

Also last rally a lot of people from the Draven rallies chose to vote for X or Ryu instead, I'm betting Link got a lot more cross votes as well which counts for the lower Draven rally this round.

Link needs 140 votes per update. If that Draven drop was a sign of things to come then I guess it's possible, but assuming it was just a natural lull Link can't win unless there is a massive rally spike for him somewhere.

Link wasn't exactly top notch there, either. Shepard was the only one that stayed consistent, really.

Link needs to kick it up to 300+ votes an update, while Draven stays at that last update's level.

We're already in that territory. How anyone could feel this result is legit is beyond me.

Incredible performance from Link. Just about everyone in the Oracle predicted him to finish below 40%, with a lot of people going under 30% (myself included). The fact that he arguably would have won a 1v1 match or a full 24-hour match in the face of the guy who doubled X and Ryu combined is impressive.

This isn't the same guy who put on last round's performance against X and Ryu, aka 'Ultimate Draven'. Link would have never been in the match against that level of rally power.

Well we're estimating he lost 1000-1500 votes from the downtime, right? I think we have to get under an 1000 vote gap for it to be obvious to everyone (I think at this point Link would have won without the downtime, but it's somewhat debatable).

Yup looks like my prediction of Link failing to get the same amount of votes Draven got in 12 hours was correct, but I though Draven would have done much better here too.

Nah, a lot of the votes then were during scheduled maintenance, so no one could play the game, that means they resort to reddit and forums.

Supposedly the LOL reddit can rally thousands of votes an hour right? R/gaming is bigger, so......

The title only mentions Link, no mention of Draven, so it can be counted on to produce mostly votes for Link.
