Imo its a combination of factors, biggest of all the UOL name and logo (omg its unicorns) then interesting top picks, lack of popular alternatives and NA fans voting for supposedly worst team.

UOL have a cute name and picked poppy. In terms of perception calitrolz picking kat and malph is almost irrelevant compared to picking and winning with poppy in an important match. Only teemo, donger and maybe garen can match poppy in "unique" hype. Vizi can be the worst top laner in the history of LCS and go 0-28 and he'll still be the poppy guy

The nFaculty team is now playing with Xaxus and Soz Purefect instead of Pronbear, Sigu. They seem to be doing really well on ladder so far, won all their games.
Mithy is now duoing all the time with Niels (Zvenillan) who is generally rated very highly by EU pros. Maybe implications for SHC roster. Kicking Rallez only makes sense if it's not MYM but CW now, SHC, i mean. And even then, dropping Rallez is so random, lol, most likely it's just duoqueueing for funs. I don't think Mithy will join MYM without Amin. Maybe he will play for new CW?

I mean lets be real, if Fnatic was not having roster problems and was in the vote they'd have won.
the teams in the poll were just uninteresting as a whole

Rumours are that Fnatic will participate in Cologne's one, so they just didn't go for it, same with Gambit. It's not like anyone cares about IEM until World Championship anyway, rofl and even then, not so much.
"International competition" is basically only Worlds.

Probably you're right, welp.

Wow Unlucky Rejects is the CW roster? Wtf... This is pretty funny, because it seems like they have trouble to even qualify for the expansion tournament via ladder. I think it will be 5 teams from EUW ladder, maybe even only 4. And they are 9th atm. Shows how competitive the EUW ladder is.

Choker Logic Gaming, i swear.
I thought, having dexter/Link/Seraph in team was peak of it.

Horo was close to sign with SHC. Ryu was close to sign with a Chinese team as a coach.
Jree wanted to retire before the koreans were announced to him.

All tilted dexter did was fail ganks on quas, 5 longswords as CLG gets rekt by piglet the dream. http://ask.fm/nuk3duck/answer/121705906347 Nukeduck suggests that neo-neo-wolves (Can we do two neos, I mean bjergsen is OG wolves which makes youngbuck neo-wolves? Idk I'm rolling with this) will feature "old school players returning to roots". Tabzz mid? Dexter/Amazing back on an EU team?

I am also thinking of an LD angle, especially with Nukeduck and Mithy being the ones that disclosed this. But Tabzz on mid makes no sense to me. He is still playing ad only in soloQ.It would take some time to become LCS level in mid and would be a huge gamble for any organisation, especially if there are good free agents out there.
Dexter seems likely though, then maybe Mithy and Niels bot? Top comeback Zorozero, mid Kerp? :D Has anyone heard anything about Zoro coming back, playing again or something?
Also this would mean that SHC is still missing support and jungle.

Last I heard zoro still hasn't finished high school and as such isn't returning to the pro scene, though I was sure he was in his senior year already.
And booooy am I opposite of everyone here apparently. I enjoy IEMs more than LCS+Worlds by far (and I don't really understand where'd the idea come from that "teams don't take this seriously", except for those who state so beforehand like TSM right now, but whatever). And I absolutely love that I'll see Vizic in this format, he's definitely the amateur player I'm hyped about.

Afaik, Fission is Azingy's team, no? Won't be surprised if they throw LolPro out. But NME vs Fusion, coL.White vs CA and possible Coast-LolPro might be sick fun.

Alright Asian info/rumour dump time
Korea LCS will start with eight teams, expand to ten then to twelve next year.
XaioXaio indicates OMG as main candidates for deft
XaioXaio also reports Chinese interest in looper and world elite's interest in lawd flame
Final XaioXaio rumour, cool is going to leave OMG and starhorn wants cool and ackerman as their new solos.
OMG/EDG/LGD are interesting in "helping vasilli" which likely means sitting him on their LSPL squads
