I'm sorry guys. I really am sorry. I didn't know I'd be putting such a huge albatross on Snake's neck when I made the switch. :(

Draven rally on 6th spot for hours
Just one more spot down,and using the logic of "need to scroll down=less votes" we got something to look for

That's a manageable update for Snake there. A bit of a recovery.

yeah, there is a LOT of things that can happen for the match but right now when so much of the site is dead keeping it close was the real goal. the fact that he got it so close is insane.

but he needs to keep it that way.

Snake up to a more acceptable intake, but Draven stays spiky. I hate relying on opponent's weakness but if he could let up, just a little...

Draven is getting more votes now than he did against Link at this time of night. Then again, Snake is also pulling in more than Link got. If Snake can be within 2500 at 8 am and stall it out to 3K by 10 I think he has a shot at rallying it out throughout the day.

And that's before any Cena/AJ/World Championships shenanigans come in.

I think rallying at this time just provoked the Draven fans to get going, and right as we're heading into his best time.

Could have been a double edged sword

It's still undeniably a net positive for Snake.

I mean, imagine the match if nothing happened. Draven is probably up like 2500+ right now.


It's also undeniably a net positive for the match as a whole, it's been a really exciting 4 hours.

Plus, I'll say again that Kojima's RT still has a ton of reach left in it, and almost 20 hours to exploit it.


People don't use twitter like that. They won't go to check what he tweeted/RTed. Either they saw it on their timelines or they didn't. It's not going to get drawn-out exposure.

This match is still pulling in over 500 votes per update, while Link/Shepard/Draven was pulling about 400 votes per update at this time already.

Another thing of note: The League of Legends World Championships start tomorrow. It's expected to draw literally millions of online viewers, which will likely lead, in turn, to a huge spike in subreddit traffic. If the rally (or another rally) is still on the first page, Draven will likely continue picking up speed as we get closer to noon PST, when the tournament kicks off.

There's another possibility that the world championships will shove the Draven rally off the front page.

Honestly, I think the opposite is true. World Championships threads will shoot up and the rally thread will get bumped down and ignored.

Assuming the Worlds Championship causes Draven to go into True Executioner mode or just that the match stays at this pace?

Draven died off there. If that lasts and wasn't just a 1-update lull, Snake could conceivably stall out (relatively) the night.

Relying on opponent's weakness, which isn't good at all. We need to step it up here regardless.

It's not the traffic to the subreddit that Draven is looking forward to, it's on-stream exposure from the casters and/or tweets from Riot employees.

Certainly possible, and that will obviously be true after the first couple of matches when people start discussing the tournament, but I'm talking more about the huge influx of traffic from right before the world championships start. People will be looking for schedule, streaming links, etc, but there won't really be many threads made, since nothing would have happened yet.

Maybe we need to try and publicize that kind of info early and knock down the rally before the tourney starts.

That's not that worrisome.

What IS worrisome is if it gets a shout out by the commentators.
