I can't tell if Snake is still gaining or if his cuts are dying down.


Snake had a spike of 100+ vote cuts, but right now he's getting about 80 vote cuts per update

Below 1500, but still some ways to go.

Yeah..and Link was 4000 votes behind
I like how I was very optimistic at Link back then even though his lead was 2.5 bigger than the current one
But..well,I won't ruin this topic moral anymore
#411 | TheOneAboveAll | Posted 9/15/2013 9:22:10 AM | message detail
Samus is the unsung hero of all of this. Going to not be doubled by Draven soon. That's incredibly impressive.

Draven will gain 1000 next update ? (I could see it happens with the championship)

By the way, did anyone detect another Snake rally? This seems too crazy to be normal trends, although some of it probably is.

Samus is still going up though, so that suggests this is probably just trends.

Not crazy at all. This is the site's day vote reaching its peak, which is definitely going to favor Snake.

If Snake actually gets the lead at some point it would be incredible.

And then we could honestly put Draven's win solely down to the world championships, just like we can easily put the win over Link down to the downtime. It would be a freak, in the same vein as Mario > Cloud and maybe Zard > Bowser.

Someone needs to take Tumblr and rally there. If you tag a post with a lot of Metal Gear stuff, anyone that searches for that will see that and vote for Snake.

Maybe the WC will help Snake. I heard Draven is actually disliked amongst the greater LoL fanbase.

No, this is because the Draven rally is losing steam. In a match like this, trends are controlled by rallying.

No one has rallied a direct link to this match anywhere on the internet in the last half hour, if my Googling is correct. I don't know if that picks up individual tweets though.

Come on guys, we're not doing enough for Snake. We have to take it back to Twitter.

Didn't the stats Allen posted regarding those rallies show they were pretty negligible compared to reddit? If you believe they're accurate, of course.

We have no idea. That's what is so interesting about this match. Refreshing the updater every 5 minutes, knowing that at any time Draven can gain by 300; what effect the Championships will have - there is so much unknown that can happen (or not happen).

They are
The LoL forum rally is as strong as a /v/ rally..it only gave Draven about 20 votes per update
It can matter alot in normal matches,but not here

I'm happy to blame Allen for Draven/Link (which is the absolutely, 100% objectively correct thing to do), rather than just accepting that it was Draven's immense rallying force and he is impossible to defeat. Link getting it as close enabled that.

It's better than Draven winning everything by a million votes. He now seems beatable in the right situation.

Draven is steadily rising, but Snake holding strong above 200 votes. He might be able to mitigate the damage form the second wind better than Link.
