I know it's just for lulz. But it's sad to see so many people voting, just blindly following who they like, and not truly embracing their inner ESPORTS.
how can someone whine about the results of a poll with NO question? There is no definition or anything about what "should" get voted. Why should a funny clip from day9 be less something than a GSL "troll"? Why should a bad mannered player be less something than a beard and his will to get better? You cant complain about the answer to no question.

There is a large influx of votes from newly made accounts created by a section of TotalBiscuit's following, it's offsetting the votes. Check the amounts for all the polls, then the TotalBiscuit polls, they always have more voters.
Suffice it to say, that without the influx of votes from outside of TeamLiquid, Idra Rage would've won.

Ah well, things are as they are.
Hehe... look at total votes of "Quarterfinals Match 4" (the one with TB's top hat vs Idra rage) and the total votes of Special tactics vs. Grack =p . . .

It said by liquid members themselves its just a popularity contest. How do you measure ESPORTS in the first place? Without a mathematical system its a flawed idea from the getgo.

Decorah Eagles deserves better.
i'm ignorant, can you explain the decorah eagles thing? i have NO idea what it is? (the only one i didn't know)
At MLG Dallas there were a ton of "technical difficulties." The streams kept going off line, there were problems with the internet at the event, etc. etc.
During the downtime, people started linking a stream where you could watch a nest of baby eagles do what eagles do. The eagle stream peaked in excess of 150,000 viewers all because MLG couldn't keep their streams live. It became a running joke and memes followed. IIRC, that was the biggest LR thread for 1 day of an event to date (well over 1,000 pages?).
It was kind of a big deal, there were even threads created on body bulding forums about it.
One of many_many_many eagle pics/memes from that event:

Well you measure ESPORTS the same way you measure anything else: by adherence to a standard. And of course, this standard is POOPFEAST420.

Clearly you aren't getting that nearly all of the people referencing POOPFEAST420 are playing around. It's half-joke half-serious. We all know it's a joke. No need to rain on our POOPFEAST420 is the greatest human being alive parade.

Potentially. I'm not sure if they'll remember TL for long after clicking the poll option.

Nah, i like POOPFEAST420 and i voted for him, just getting a bit tired of of "he used twitter crap" while others do it as well and don't get even close amount of flack for it. Feel like counter-balancing a bit here
