Kinda worried this might get SethG DQ'd from the prizes, is there a rule against manipulating the vote for that?


That's only for vote stuffing. This is rallying

He retweeted.

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


Check Twitter. They're probably organizing now.

(And no, I'm not rallying anymore. I've stopped pushing for Draven. That comment was my very last thing for him, really! Now I'm just watching and hoping this keeps up!)

Tweets get lower down the list as the user tweets more. But, they don't seem to tweet too much, so maybe.

Draven manages to stall in the face of a Kojima/Trent/Hayter twitter rally.

It takes that much just to fight against a single subreddit. If Draven gets anything else extra then Snake is screwed

Vote totals are also picking up lately. The last 2 updates both had more than 630 votes and it's almost 4:00 AM. Link/Cloud/L-Block/Snake was pulling in less than 500 votes an update by this point in the match.

Not just the subreddit, that was a new influx of votes.

But yes, you are just about in the ballpark.

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.

Nice to see Greyfield is selling out Snake

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!


Someone sounds a little desperate ;)


Perhaps you could even say... buttdesperate?


Oh my I think you might be right! :)

I switch to Snake and Greyfeld switches to Draven? Heh. That's just...amazing irony.

What if someone got EgoRaptor to support Snake?

He's done both Metal Gear Awesome animations and is a huge fan of the MGS series. Plus, with Game Grumps, he's got a massive following.

But not right now, Samus can fold for all I care. Snake has to do this. It's his spotlight.

I think I am more stunned by the idea of SephG relying on JOHN CENA to be his hero than anything else this match has, or can, possibly deliver.

I am about 99% convinced I'm either dreaming or have fallen into an alternate dimension.

Yeah I think thats an important factor here, Snakes closed the gap during Draven's peak hours.

I know theres the lolesports angle too but the day should favor Snake ordinarily.
