Let's be honest this poll means a lot more to TB than he's letting on. TB unfortunately isn't as popular in the SC2 community as he'd like to be. That's nothing against the guy personally, but generally speaking when it comes to casting I think people tend to prefer ex or current pros to cast rather than random commentators.

So this is his way of trying to compensate for that massive insecurity he has (btw donating so much money to the community is another symptom of this insecurity, he is effectively trying to buy acceptance into the community).

Yes others have tweeted too, but they were going to win their brackets anyway. If either Day9 or Husky came up against Artosis Pylon they would have lost and they would have left it at that. But no, TB has to tweet over and over again (even post on his YT channel) until he gets his way.

The reason why TB tweeting is different to Husky, Day9 or DJWheat tweeting is twofold.
1. None of them would take it as far as TB has
2. ALL of their respective fanbases are ONLY SC2 related. 75% of TBs followers on Twitter or YT have absolutely no interest in SC2 and therefore it does completely rig the results.

Yes, at the end of the day this is a 'fun' and 'light-hearted' poll. However, given that some people in TBs bracket don't even have a clue what they are voting for and about, makes this pointless poll entirely meaningless. If you made a poll about who was the most powerful pokemon, yes the poll would be mostly pointless and stupid. But if you got random people who didn't have a clue about pokemon voting for it... that would make a pointless poll meaningless. That's the problem here.

So go ahead TB, sabotage what is essentially a pointless poll. However, it won't buy you the acceptance you so crave.

Uhm, interesting... So 75% of TB's watchers don't care about SC2, that implies that 25% of them do. TB has over 600k subs, and he has 6k votes, my friend the math is weak within you.

Btw, i did vote for the Artosis Pylon, and im not telling anyone that they should or should not do so, but the points made here are completely invalid.

26% of all statistics are unreliable. Seriously dude? I can't believe in that entire post all you decided to focus on was an ambiguous number I pulled out of thin air. The statistic isn't of importance my friend, it's the fact that the MAJORITY (something I can say with certainty) of his fanbase do not follow or have any interest in SC2.

Thats what i'm saying, u pulled it out of thin air, which makes it invalid, and yes, most of his subs don't give a damn about sc2 but at the same time, most of his subs (6K from 600k) didn't even bother reading the tweet. I fail to see the valid point in the argument, but as I said, i think the Artosis pylon should be winning this.

I really don't agree with you, but I have no idea why TB must win. However, I do agree that most of his followers don't have any idea of ESPORTS.

And by the way, best pokemon is:
