The other candidate would be Ra, but since I don't want to jinx him, my vote is on oov.  | ||

Which former champ will dissapoint this OSL is very, very different from Who will not meet my expectations this season. The first means which former champ will show a disappointing performance this OSL, which is the question of the poll. The latter means which former champ will not meet the expectations you've preset for him. These are two very different questions. | ||

v. dis·ap·point·ed, dis·ap·point·ing, dis·ap·points v. tr. To fail to satisfy the hope, desire, or expectation of. To frustrate or thwart: “I will not disappoint the confidence you have put in me” (Wayne A. Budd). v. intr. To cause disappointment. Edit: Disappointment CANNOT exist without expectation. The expectations the former champ would fail to meet would be mine / fans / community etc.. | ||

In order to dissapoint, one must have expectations that a person doesn't meet. It is the same question. Just friggin vote you understand what it means. | ||

You're confusing some people here. Sync would however be eligable for a "dark horse" poll. | ||

Perhaps some people see the fact that he is an active member on the second biggest pro gaming team means he is still a force to be reckoned with. | ||

I doubt people are going to translate the poll to the way you're intending for it to be translated. Yes, I know what it means, from reading your posts, but I doubt that most will define disappoint the way you're doing so. I don't think the poll results will going to show what you exactly wanted to see.

It is wrong to say that disappointment cannot exist without expectation. Disappointment can mean either: 1. To fail to satisfy the hope; 2. To fail to satisfy the desire, or 3. To fail to satisfy the expectation of. With the way the question is current worded, I'm strongly led to believe that many people will translate "disappoint" as either definition #1 or definition #2, as opposed to definition #3, which is what Manifesto really wanted to ask. | ||

And Sync leading the poll with 31% proves that tfeign is right. We do not have high expectations for Sync, do we Mani? | ||

ra has not been a champ form for a long time, the only way he can disappoint me is by getting raped in all his games. I have some expectations for ChoJJa though... but he might let me down so i voted for him. | ||

I don't think Oov is gonna get far. Not that I'd be disappointed, so I can't vote him. | ||
