Oh yes, I forgot about the CODECs in Brawl.

I sincerely hope Snake wins this at this point if only so Hayter isn't disappointed. Someone with a Reddit account, please make sure the Reddit gaming board and MGS board knows about this, and not just the LoL board.

So forget about us hating you less or more. You are clearly ignoring the part where you could be proving that you're not a total [insert censored expletives here]. Now you're just proving the opposite.


You know, I was about to lash out at you, but I just realized I'm mostly lashing out at the small group of stats regs who are acting like dumbasses and whom I enjoy enervating (because they are double-talking, ignorant, quick to make snap decisiions about people and incapable of reevaluating what they think, and above all, extremely bitter human beings who could use a taste of happiness in their lives). So instead let me ask this calmly. If I want to post here because I want to discuss the contest, and I don't call anybody out (except the one time I take a shot as payback for all the stupidity I've endured from ExTha, 1337gamer, XIII, Fr0zon and co.), why does this make me a whatever you wish to call me? I don't came here to cause trouble, really. I just don't back down when people start acting like little children and instead piss them off further, because I'm good at that. Like seriously, how many times in the last few topics have I gone out of my way to tell someone else to stop posting, to not be an idiot, or whatever? And how many times have these tools done the same to me?


You know what, I could buy that. I really could. If you would give a legit analysis and comment on the match, I wouldn't mind (and I'm sure others wouldn't either). Your only comments the past few matches have been just telling us to rally our guys, when you should well know that they're impossible to rally with the ease that Draven is. Therefore, all of your comments come across as gloating condescension. You want to discuss the matches? That's fine. I have no problems with that. If you make good points, I will gladly discuss them. If they're bad points, I will gladly disagree. But if all you say are things that are tantamount to, "I rallied my guy so you should rally yours" then I will honestly tell you that no one wants to read that.

Also, that renewed MGS day vote might end up being more notable than any other match.

I'm amazed at the impact of the Hayter tweet. Only 50K followers and this much of an impact?? My god. An AJ Lee tweet would have a much bigger impact than I'd imagined.

Man I seriously have no idea who the f*** AJ Lee actually is, but if she tweets about this and Snake wins, I *WILL* buy her goddamn T-shirt.

Link has a day vote though, Snake doesn't. Of course maybe thatll change, who knows. Remember when Snake led on Link after 6 hours in 2008 and then proceeded to lose by almost 10k? I hope snake pulls this off but it doesnt look too good

That (commenting and discussing matches) is something I did all contest. There comes a point where analysis isn't meaningful anymore, though. Right now, all that's left is to go out and fight for the side you want to see win. For the record, back when Link and Draven hadn't had their match yet, I called that they'd have a really close one, even though no one believed it and people called me stupid for saying Link couild be rallied and pushed up. What people take as 'gloating condescension' is just a different perspective, and they really should learn that different thought processes =/= mockery already.

Well, yeah, Snake doesn't have Link's killer day vote, but he won't need it if he can keep Draven from going up 6000+ like what happened to Link.

So Draven seems to be SLOWLY dropping, while Snake is increasing at quite a pace.

I expected Draven to blow out the poll like he did last round while Snake and Samus fought for scraps. Instead Snake is making a run to win. We need the usual MGS clutch to give Snake the win.

Eh, really, the key here is if Draven's rally can sustain itself. If it can, Draven probably wins because his well is a lot deeper than Snake's. Snake will crush Draven if the rally stops.

Yes this is definitely true.

"Keeping the morale up" is a HUGE factor. If Snake ralliers think it's over...then yeah, it's over.

But as long as Snake keeps this close, he's got a shot.

And the fact that he's *cutting* at what should be Draven's most absolutely dominant time definitely keeps hope alive.

I mean Draven is still the big favorite, the Hayter tweet should die off. But if Snake voters keep the morale up - he's definitely got a non-zero shot to win this thing.

Snake's day vote isn't as good as Link's obviously (no one really competes with Link there), but his day this year was considerably better than it has typically been, I think. MGS was a lot better during the day this year.

Quinton Flynn is probably the best bet as far as getting other MGS VAs to Tweet anything. Dunno how many followers he has though.

The real key is going to be whether the contest gets mentioned during the LoL World Championship stream today. Last year 8,000,000 unique viewers watched the stream in some capacity, and just a few months ago (All-Star Game) 18,000,000.
