Seriously if Cena helped Snake overcome the odds then I might literally die.

Getting the MGS facebook page to post something about the poll might be a nail in the coffin, as the likes on any post they make averages in the thousands.


People should tweet that at Kojima. I'm sure he can let the FB page know.

Draven will still win if we let up just because of a couple of gains. Reddit is responding with their own tweets to major LoL streamers and commentators:

PLUS, a big storm is coming tomorrow with the LoL tournament. We need to turn this into a news story, otherwise I think Draven wins. If we properly push for IGN/Kotaku/Gamespot/etc, about how Hayter and Kojima are getting into a war with Reddit over an unknown character, and it's sure to be published.

This is what happens when vote totals coming from their site are at their lowest but Snake and Draven are pulling in hundreds of votes per update from outside the site.

Update: texted Trent but he is likely sleeping right now

It seems like I might be able to get hom to convince John Cena to RT a Snake vote, which would be pretty cool




Hail me


How on earth could you convince him to get Cena.

If we get Cena to do that then reddit could literally get the ENTIRETY of their world championships to vote and it wouldn't even matter.


He's friends with Cena and Cena loves American heroes

Hey guys, please upvote and spread the word: Snake supporters are taking to Twitter and asking people involved with Metal Gear Solid to link to the poll! We have to do the same thing to keep Draven alive! Call up rioters, famous players, casters! Don't give up! We've come too far to stop now!

Samus, you really shouldn't have made it this far. A Nintendo character going to the finals already feels kinda wrong, but then Samus...

Why did I vote for her?

I thought Snake still gained on Draven (at least in percent, yes I know about the whole cutting into percentage =/= comeback thing).

He retweeted.

But really, I think the more important question is where did that Draven spike come from? That worries me a bit.

Draven getting huge spikes is natural really. that's not gonna change all match.
but Kojima + Hayter is one deadly combo that SHOULD shake up the ranks. i mean... it's friggin' Kojima and Hayter.
