In my eyes Reynor, Heromarine and Showtime should all make it thru, as they are undeniable the best Players up to vote in their respected races.
I dont realy care, who gets the last spot. Scarlett, Lambo, Elazer and uThermal would all be fine for me I gues.

the wildcard spot probably won't have an effect on how team world performs, but id want the wildcard spot to go to the player who actually got voted naturally

Damn this will be a disappointing result if it sticks. I guess Elazer is higher ranked in circuit standings but Scarlett skipped an event and wasn't able to play in the first season of Challenger due to playing in GSL. A choice I highly respect her for. Her best result of the year at WESG also didn't award WCS points. Even if they are around the same level Scarlett definitely has a better chance of taking a series off a Korean. She is a more dangerous player with a lot more variety in her play.

To be fair if Scarlett skips a Challenger to go play GSL instead it's her decision and she has to take the consequences of not beeing seeded higher for this event. (and let's skip the whole Korean region lock discussion altogether).

This vote system is derailed so easy, I literally just have to open Twitch, donate 100€ to a famous streamer and ask him to link this thread in his channel and say "gogogo votebomb this guy in, it will be fun".

The GSL situation was a mess. When she chose GSL, she mentioned that it might be her last GSL ever and that was likely a factor in her choice. No one knew at the time that the lock would be removed immediately after.

not true, the official wcs rule book stated the rule (even that it only was for season 1) and that was released before gsl started

also scarlett got a lot of her wcs circuit points from the region locked wcs winter where in the na edition there were like 3 good players, while the eu edition was pretty stacked ...
and she also profits from the basically free wcs challenger points from season 2, i mean if she doesnt f-up extremly hard she should always get 140 points from that ... for the eu players thats quite different there they have a real competition for these points ...

not saying that the elazer vote thingy isn’t pretty sad and bad

I can not see ahainst who elazer will be the favorite against any of the other 15 players. Scarlett's play is not stable, but she has a much higher ceiling to match against other high profilers.

Since elazer enjoys to get beat 3-0 in gsl vs world, let us see how it goes.

No Scarlett skipped WCS Spring because she had an eye surgery .

To be honest, in a bigger picture this is quite good for Starcraft. Having more exposure of the game outside of the bubble of the community itself can bring more people to find an interest on it, even if you get 1~2 new players of all those votes only, it will be players that wouldn't be playing Starcraft otherwise.

Ideally all the players would have those kind of friendships and the competition would be on high standards. As much as Reynor joked, imagine if PewDiePie actually campaign for him? That would be great for the scene.

On the other hand, it surely will feel bitter for the players that have no such contacts.

As long as it's GABE, Showtime, Reynor and Elazer it's pretty close to optimal tbh but those first 3 need to go for it to stay that way.

I Protoss winner, could it be?

you say this as if the people voting for Elazer actually watch/play starcraft but they dont, im sure maybe a couple of them do but the vast majority do not care for starcraft and will not watch the tournament they are voting Elazer into

Most of them surely didn't, but we can't precise to say none. Maybe there's a way to see the playerbase increase from Brazil from that day?

Plus, I meant more the exposure of the game than the event itself, people going like "Starcraft? What's that? Let me check." kind of.

Yeah mate, I don't disagree. But there's a chance out of these 10k votes let's say 10 woud get to try Starcraft and stick with it. That's a growth even if small, all in all it's just wishful thinking from me

The voting system need to be enhanced as I want players to be voted by real SC2 fans not youtubers fans.

what about add an anti-vote as well so players with popular friends can just directly remove other players?
