It's absolutely disgusting that this match isn't being extended. People couldn't vote for over an hour, how is that not grounds for an extension?

Draven's just pulling in too many votes right now. If only he would have stayed around 120, Link could be pulling in 100 vote cuts right now.

Well it was a good run everyone. The surge missed during the downtime is a huge chunk of this right now but I feel like we all did everything we could. Still will hold out a hope for a miracle but not counting on it.

Those were Link's 2 best hours of the day. 63% and 69% on Draven during those 2 hours- still cut 900 votes despite the site outage. Stupid attack cost him 1500 votes.

It's because Mewtwo would face him in the next round, but Charizard would face him in the final.

Sonic's actually probably the best hope to stop Draven.

Just rally every furry and brony forum on the internet. Most bronies seem to also be Sonic fans.

Extending the match wouldn't even matter. Link's not gaining right now. The real issue is what he would have gained during those hours. You can't just extend the match. You would need to re-run it entirely.

No, though now I kinda wanna tweet him to see if he chimes in. Morello is the username of the main balance dev of League of Legends, AKA one of the Top 5 most visible faces of Riot Games. It's no surprise Draven spiked like a mother if he summoned the troops. Dude is HUGE in the community.
