When did this turn into 4chan? Trolling random competitions like this is IMO just distasteful no matter what you think of them.
I expected more from TL...

How dare you claim that Hot_Bid isn't the sexiest lady in the competition.

Big man with the 18 post count coming to ridcule the community. People take shit way too seriously. How the hell do you make friends when you are incapable of even withholding your disdain for some people havign some harmless fun over an internet forum.
My respect for the TL rules is the only thing stopping me from posting the we have a badass meme. It is very applicable here. I wouldnt want to hurt your feelings either.
On topic. HB for centerfold!

Guys I'm pretty sure we are now entirely off topic.
This thread is about the Maxim contest, not prostitution.

And I highly suggest you read the last couple of pages. Actually been some good discussion about this competition: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=325877¤tpage=37#733

So I just wanted to jump in again and remind everyone that you can vote every 24 hours for our own favourite Hot_Bid. May the best man win

You guys should also consider this though, while it's all fun and games to have someone like Hot_Bid in the contest, him getting so many votes is really discouraging some of the legit gamers that are female on that website and it's sad to see them give up like that. "This is all a joke, no one is taking this seriously... a GUY has over 1,000 votes!". Can you guys do me a favor and shoot some of your votes to some of the girls while you're on the site? You can vote for more than one person each day. While you're voting for Hot_Bid and Anna please look over some of the girls profiles and give the ones you like some votes too please. You don't have to obviously, but it'd really be a big help.
Thank you all for reading my long ass post. Take care! First of all, Freddie Wong will always be the #1 GH player in my <3 Second, I disagree with your sentiments here. This contest has nothing to do with getting exposure, or credibility, or anything else for these ladies. This contest is all about the sponsor Virgin Gaming finding some hot chick that they can use in their adverts with the hope that a bunch of stereotypical nerds will drool over them because they are a "gamer". It's demeaning, it's stupid, and frankly as a stereotypical nerd myself I find it rather annoying. Someone earlier brought up the infamous KellyMilkies photo shoot, same principle applies here. While I respect Anna Prosser and think she has done some amazing work for Esports, this contest isn't about rewarding her for that. It's about making an object out of her and using that to sell shit. Maybe the financial reward and exposure would be good for the individual who wins, but IMO would be a step backwards for women in this industry and in this community. Thus why Hot_Bid is the only rational vote; an absurd candidate for an absurd contest.
And do you really think voting to get Hot_Bid to win a female competition is the correct way to do things? If anything, all it does is shows the immaturity of the Team Liquid community for even allowing such a thing to occur right under their nose.

They should remove the option of voting on that guy. Cause this is a voting constest about girls.

I'm shocked they havn't removed Hot_Bid yet. Their moderators must not be too active.

It's a funny and quaint way to protest the contest and show these companies that we are not all a bunch of drooling undersexed stereotypical nerds. If you find that immature, then so be it. However I can't bring my self to take this contest seriously, it's frankly an embarrassment. And frankly, if anyone deserves to be called out it's the misogynistic men who are out there voting for the women with the biggest tits and least clothes and encouraging this nonsense. Call me crazy, but that seems far less mature.
You can do as you wish, vote for whomever you like. But don't get angry at us for not taking the contest seriously.

You're ruining the contest for other women that are taking the competition seriously. If you have an issue with the contest then deal with it in the appropriate manner. What is occurring right now is no better than what occurs in immature shitty forums like 4chan.
Regardless of not whether or not you agree/disagree with the premise of the competition, does not give you and other TL members a right to practically troll their competition in order to make a mockery of it.

It won't even ruin the contest. If hot bid eventually wins, he'll just get removed and it will go to the second highest.
I think what hot bid was pretty funny. It's a good way to mock the contest. I think TheToast is right.

It only demonstrates the immaturity of the TL community of it supports this. Whether or not TheToast is right is not the point. The point is that the TL community is basically lowering itself onto the level of 4chan posters and groups like Anonymous who rig voting polls of Justin Beiber. Seriously, it's not funny. It's just immature.
