Suppy's performance here depends on his ZvP consistancy, I think he will be fine.

tell me that's not the nastiest gauntlet ever xD

Is this the finals gauntlet or has these players qualified somehow? Did they win the most gauntlets or something?

They won the fan voting that was done via Facebook. I'll edit the OP.

Oh right, thanks! I recall about it!

That gauntlet is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick 
|
how come there are no ROOT players? that's incredibly odd
I know your system has fans voting, but don't you think that you should have maybe the #1 kills from each server get seeded in then have a ro8 filled with fan voted people?
just a thought ^^
edit: ALSO, I am very active on forum sites and follow what's going on in eSports, but I never became aware of when voting was active and where
next time please make a thread on TL or something much more visible so that you can have a higher base for voting

Wtf Adam posted on my acct ^^^
Anyways I'll try my best, had a busy week with school/rush but hopefully can still get a good result!

Forcing people to be 'fans' on Facebook just to vote in a poll to decide who is in the 'finals' of this instead of actually using the results?
It's fine having one player elected by popularity, but having everybody? That's a joke. Looks like I'll be avoiding everything NASL-related.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm/trolling on a whole 'nother level or extreme ignorance.
It's the off-season. We wanted to do something fun and unique ^^
GL to the final 4 competing!!! The gauntlet itself is insanely cool

I'll admit I'm surprised that harstem got voted in, I thought nerchio, alive and catz were more popular than him maybe I underestimate the pull the Dutch had on this poll.

Then give the tournament a name that represents something fun and unique. Like Win the Gauntlet: A Facebook Popularity Showmatch. Having the word 'finals' gives off the impression that these 4 bested the other participants when only Bling had the maximum number of wins during the King of the Hill matches.

This gaunlet looks really amazing :D I Hope Suppy and Crank will meet in the finals !

It was always made clear from the beginning, Players qualified for the vote off by winning 2 matches. Then everyone who qualified would be up for a vote, top 4 playing off for the prize.
As for the actual vote, the only surprise is Harstem, that sort of came out of nowhere. Suppy and Crank are super obvious choices, but I really thought someone like Catz would have had it in the bag. It's possible that Harstem actually campaigned for it, where others didn't. And yes voting was covered here and on reddit. The only real issue was the 3rd party voting app on facebook was very finicky.

All these players qualified with BlinG doing amazingly well - Go DignitasBlinG :-)

Simply ignorant. The gauntlet is all about fan favourites. If you followed it at all, you'd know that those who competed were those who were in chat and could get the most people to cheer for them to play the current winner (single elimination).
It's something fun; allows the viewers to get their favourite players to compete for some cash.
I'm really looking forward to it. Team BlinG!!
