I don't get why people are upset over fan voting and claiming that this guy has no right to compete. This is an exhibition event and people want to see the most popular players compete not necessarily the best. I see nothing wrong with that, especially when you consider that all the people who are voting will most likely tune in to watch their favorite player, hence increasing the viewership numbers.
This sounds like the best way to promote your game when its an exhibition match, not everything has to be 100% decide the best player right now.
This happens in almost all sports that have an allstars game, where fans get to vote for their favorite players, again not necessarily the best at that point in time.

Apparently, it is impossible to log in if you use a new portrait. If you switch to Kachinski, it should work.

SOLUTION TO THE LOG IN BUG!

It has something to do with your portrait. If you are using a newer portrait like the WCS ones, change it in game to an older one, then try logging out and back in online.

Doesn't work for me sadly. Changed my portrait to Kachinsky.

I would vote for:

Classic
Solar
Gumiho

Showtime
Elazer
Kelagod

It still sucks though. ByuN isn't on the same level as aLive, Maru, or Gumiho. Yet he gets a garanteed spot because of reddit.

If it was a simple showmatch I wouldn't mind as much, but $100K prize pool is no joke

ByuN hasn't done anything impressive this year. His best is a single GSL ro8

Why can Blizzard websites never just work? -.-

First had to set up my American Sc2 account which I'm never going to use again, and then the bloody thing just doesn't respond when I click vote, yet when I refresh the page it apparently did register after all ... and that for every single one of those polls.

Voted for: Maru, Dark, herO, Kelazhur, Snute & Showtime

It's tough though because I'd love to see ByuN, ByuL, Classic, uThermal, Scarlett & Drogo play as well....oh well!

For EU people who have trouble voting; Make a character on the Americas server. Then vote (and refresh page).

You can thank Elentos

Or Thax

Thanks to all of you, this finally worked.

Had to change my portrait to Kachinsky on NA instead of EU.
