Guys pls use your power wisely and vote for the best players. Seeing sOs (and to a lesser extent Byun) win the poll is just sad.
I already said it on reddit, maybe it will help a little bit

Good Lord, I'm logged in, but can't vote.

You need a character (created in-game) to post on the forums.

That's little solace given the fact that a player like ByuN, who has done nothing all year, is going to get a crack at 100,000 prize pool over other equally or even more deserving players because, you know, popularity contest.

Like I said, I agree. If he qualified by his own merit that'd be fine. But there's no way he loses a popularity vote, and that's just unfair (especially given the person this impacts the most is, in fact, the reigning GSL champion).

The same thing is going to happen with Zerg. I think it's pretty safe to assume that a lot of fans with short memories will vote for Dark even though he hasn't done anything to warrant the spot.

Refresh and you should see that you did vote, just the page does nothing. At least that was the case for me.

Also, poor Elazer, he stands no chance against Snute and Scarlett.

Even though current Dark is not 2016 Dark, he is still a force to be reckoned with.

And in this context, there is no other Zerg candidate that's clearly superior to him. (Unlike ByuN)
