All things considered, except the Ryu/MMX slaugher, all Draven matches have been interesting at least at one point (the rally against Jak/Chie and the beginning of Mewtwo/Seph) or the whole time (LSD, and this one looks like it for now).
That could have been a lot worse.

Someone should send a tweet (or 20) to Konami UK asking them to send their own tweet about the match, not just an RT. They've shown willingness, we just need them to do something actually valuable.

We already seen Draven erase a 2000 lead in less than an hour
Snake can be considered safe if the lead is at 3000 in the last hour

And even then he can do it if he is ultimate Draven (with the tournament,it's possible)

Because that has 20 times as many followers as the UK one.

Tristan Gallant (@GlassReflection) has nearly 4,000 followers and RTed that. Someone should ask him to send his own tweet out.

Also, there is an NFL sideline reporter named Jennifer Hale. For a second I thought she was the one that tweeted. :/

TwitterFAQs taking off again. And it's quite clear that that helped Snake and Samus a lot more than Draven.

At least you got mentions and retweets. It was kind of early, so try it again now that folks are awake!
#184 | pirate109 | Posted 9/15/2013 8:01:44 AM | message detail
Tweeting to people at random times (who have tons of followers) isn't that effective in my experience. The best strategy is to follow all the people you want to tweet to and watch your feed constantly. The second one of them tweets, reply to their tweet at once. This should significantly up the chance of them actually noticing it.

We have fallen well off the pace of the L-Block final. That match's rallies caught fire in the morning. This one's haven't.


Voting trends for the L-Block final followed the usual trends you would expect for the average match - The Power Hour has the highest level of votes, followed by declining vote totals going deeper into the night vote. Vote totals started recovering in the morning vote before reaching peak voting hours around 11:00 AM-2:00 PM before slowly declining for the rest of the match. This is what happens when the huge majority of the votes in that match come from the normal GameFAQs voters. And the rallied votes were more evenly spread throughout the day. There were very few spikes for either L-Block or Link in that match.

I don't think we will put as much effort in that match and LoL has already shown they really care about this contest.
