Funny thing is that both HeroMarine and uThermal were advertised for people outside the Starcraft community, being shown on twitter with 92k and 358k followers of their teams. Assuming a small % of those people engaged to vote for them indeed the current result would be different, but why didn't happen?
Kelazhur himself was quite hopeless to go and asked people to vote uThermal instead on his Facebook. He's truly a nice guy and the brazilian esport community engaged for him. It's as simple as that.

Obviously if it was up to the community to decide should have been done way differently. On game client as I said before, requiring just to have Starcraft 2 on the account for longer than a month before the poll start. Translated to all languages so people who doesn't speak English but play the game and watch it can vote too.

Maybe add the 7th commandment in the mod note in Portuguese as well? ;p

well, this vote turned into even bigger shitshow(pardon my french) than I expected.
anyone who thinks tournament will get more viewers from Brazil/Taiwan because of the additional votes is naive.
this isn't even a popularity contest anymore - that was won by Scarlett among zergs which I won't comment further.
this influx from Brazil turned entire voting into circus, it's not even about who's popular, but who knows people with more influence and bigger reach...
and now World will send out 3 players - terran that is out of form, zerg that is out of form and protoss that is insane and will hardly show such performance again - but can't believe out of those three Has is the most reasonable vote...
The taiwanese twitch stream peaked at 11.4k during WCS Valencia with Has in the finals so yes Has brought in more viewers.

The latest season of copa america had a 4.6k peak for the Brazilian portuguese stream.

There are plenty of people behind these players. You can't say that none of so called the 'brigade voters' will watch the match.

As long as they tune in, it doesn't matter for me.

Shame that the best foreign Terran (Heromarine) gets kicked out by Kelazhur, a player who, IMO, looks sloppy even when he wins, and hasn't even been relevant for more than a year.

Is HeroMarine really the best foreign terran? Both him, uthermal, and special seem quite close. But I'd give the edge to SpeCial because he's been performing for much longer.

What happened? I expected that Has would pass Mana after Valencia but how did Kelazhur pass Heromarine?

Read the rest of the comments man, it's literally the only thing people have been talking about for the past 5 pages

So.. next time have qualifiers or if that's too much of a hassle for some reason just sent the top 8?

I don't get it why people vote for Has when mana is million times more deserving than a king of cheese. Why don't you people send Prntf while u at it. Dummies.

I have seen multiple games today where Mana tried to cheese vs Heroamrine. He failed so hard, it was pathetic.

What has MaNa done to deserve it?

I mean a vote sucks anyway, now that Kelagod got the support of some famous non-sc2 people it might suck a tiny bit more, but overall it doesn't change much imo. TL could also get their LoL team to tweet about this or mouz their CS squad, but in the end the brazilian esports scene seems more tight-knit and passionate.
We can all agree that we all want qualifiers. Everything else will always be unfair. Maybe next year.

I'll say one thing, Go Kela!

Honestly this thread is so embarassing. Honestly it is. You guys call yourselves Starcraft fans and then will immediately switch gears to shit on a player just because he's winning a popular vote.
Grow up. If you don't like the vote in system let Blizzard know about it and tell them you'd rather have qualifiers next year. Stop shitting on the players winning the votes just because they don't play the way you like or come from a country you want them to come from.
Seriously. Grow up.

I mean if it's all about the show and making it a popularity contest, that's fine. The part where it gets annoying for me is when I look at the prize pool of GSL vs the World last year. Almost 100,000 $ on the line in a tournament where half the players are in based solely on popular appeal.
If they want to keep GSL vs the World the way it is, vote and everything, I'd rather they cut down the prize pool for the 1v1 competition and make another true Global event happen. Though we're already short one of those compared to last year.
