Trap himself said he still would be kind of upset but it would've been ok if he was notified about the rule change earlier. Also one has to consider: he really obejctively is the player being 4th in WCS points and having the most recent success (Top4 in GSL S1 and 2nd in GSL S2, still being in the race of GSL S3). Then being outmatched in a vote by Fantasy who is cool and all but not nearly as good and by Innovation who isn't exactly crisp these days - this must be kind of frustrating.

Looks like it will probably come down to either Inno or Fantasy, now that Trap's gotten all his League of Legends votes.

tbh event like this is basically like a report card on how often pro gamer engage with fans throughout the year. I will be giving my vote to TY and Stats as they make an effort to attend HSC and they also stream throughout the year

Honestly, the results should just have been hidden lol. It would have solved so many problems (maybe next year?). People basically stopped voting for TY and Stats a couple of days ago because they were "safe" and focused on voting for the others because that mattered more at the time. It's getting close enough that Stats and TY might get caught by some of other players.

At the same time this vote feels like it's really building awareness/hype for this event even in people that might not normally be totally into the scene. Plus all the streaming by the korean players is nice.

If this event wants the best playersto play, then just using wcs points for qualification.
Since it is a fan voting system, then the criteria will be popularity in sc community, cure is far less popular which is the fact. Stop whining about the play level.

INno has lost in previous GSL, but I still believe that he is the best Terran player in the world. When I see his win that BO7 in WESG, I believe there is still something beyond the game, An old player's breakthrough in his player life. Everyone has a trough, I still believe he can do it.

Of the two Terrans competing for the final vote here, which one has eliminated both Maru and Serral in a premier tournament this calendar year on their resume...? 🤔

People says getting LOL viewers or other voter source outside of SC2 fan base is a bad thing. I think is the opposite, it is a good way to promote our game.

It IS a bad thing. I pretty much doubt those LOL viewers will follow SC2, they just come and vote because their "idol" asked for it.

Yeah Fanta basically said "If I get voted in I'll do some events". Shady as fuck tbh.

Winning a popular vote by being popular. Very shady.

A way to deal with the problems people see with this vote would be: Only TL accounts are allowed to vote who have linked their account to their battle.net account with a purchased version of Starcraft II. Maybe you can then add some more restrictions, like having had at least played a certain amount of games in non-arcade or 1v1 or whatever in the last few months.
That way we would get very few duplicate votes and instead only *real Starcraft fans" would get to vote.

It's the one who got into GSL vs The World last year because of his overwhelming popularity even though he had worse results than his competition.

Please vote INno, he is like 6.9k/7k MMR on KR while fantasy struggles to get past 6.4k.

But please before you vote, look at this cat.

But seriously fanta is 6.7k on his main, but just doing meme builds on stream on his 6.4 account. Just watch his games vs Trap from yesterday and you can see he is at that top level.

Remember as well that INno is currently running for the unofficial GOAT title against Maru on teamliquid, it would be a shame not to have the potential StarCraft 2 greatest of all time playing in this event
