A few fan voted wildcards sure but as many as there are? It’ll feel wonky to me if the most recent GSL finalist doesn’t make it, tournament will still be a good watch of course. | ||

(I’ve also seen his Twitter claiming this is the “last year” he can play in this tournament acting like he’s might have military service coming when it’s actually over...?) I have no idea what’s going on there. I wonder how many people aren’t giving Trap a chance just because he’s Protoss? I’m sure there’s a decent number out there. This whole week really hasn’t been fair to him. Imagine if it was you in his situation. Would you be okay losing your space that you’ve worked hard to earn all year to someone who’s not five, or ten, but more like twenty spots behind you just because he has a bigger fan base and absolutely nothing else to show for it? | ||

You seem really upset by this situation. Give it a rest lol If Fantasy makes it so be it. It's not some tragedy that upsets the whole scene. | ||

And where do these votes come from? Certainly not mostly from regular TL users, but from (korean) fans. Trap also was far behind when I voted for Stats a few days ago, he gained many votes from advertising on his stream, just like Fantasy did. Fantasy has more korean fans by far I'd assume, so he got that advantage. | ||

Honestly I am upset, you’re right: but not because I have a dog in the fight for Trap or against FanTaSy: I’m disturbed because what’s happening simply isn’t right and would not be occurring if the voting process had taken place at any one of the previous tournaments. This whole fiasco can be pinned squarely on Blizzard. Also, memo to the masses: not all Korean Terrans are created equal. | ||

A player who is more popular winning a popularity contest is disturbing and not right? | ||

You seem to forget this is basically a popularity contest: If Fantasy gets elected, good for him: he chose SC2 over BW, and he has earned far less money than the others, so he could use some love from the scene. If Trap does, good for him: he is having a great year and he's 3th in ranking right now. If Inno does, good: he's one of the GOATs and the best team player ever. | ||

Yes, they are not, FanTaSy has a special spot in Koreans' hearts that he's carved out over the past decade by now, one that not even TY/BaBy or Stats can lay claim to (who have been playing in BW for a similar amount of time as FanTaSy but with much less success), let alone Inno/Bogus or Trap. Since it's a fan vote, "travesties" will happen in everybody's eyes since the fanbase has diverse opinions, to continue to harp on this is just wasted energy. If MVP or Polt somehow came into the polls and received a disproportionate amount of support to their skill, hardly anybody would bat an eye. But somehow, this combination of Trap's unfortunate situation and FanTaSy's invisible support has left some people really unhappy. For the record, I voted TY + Trap, but if FanTaSy wants to play, works hard to get his votes and actually gets them, who am I to complain? | ||

It's Blizzard's fault in fact, Trap had to get seeded like he deserved because of the results he obtained this year. | ||
