Am i the only one whos not upset by Elazer? If only 5 % of those voters will watch the tournament its already a gain for sc2. If all players could bring thousands of votes and only chunk would stay is a gain. So why don't they do it? | ||

You know, I'm not bothered that he had somebody with a lot of followers boost him, but I do find it somewhat petty that Elazer's defense of his actions (posted on Reddit) basically amounts to "Scarlett's more popular than me and it's not fair". | ||

Logging in to vote takes virtually no effort with social media integration, doing it doesn't create any real attachment. Doing outreach and promotion is a good idea, but I don't think there's anything special about this event that makes it more effective. You need to actually promote and introduce people to SC2 for there to be any benefit, not just tell them to go to a website and vote. | ||

Top 8 foreigners according to this year s WCS points: 1. Serral 2. Reynor 3. Neeb 4. Special 5. Time 6. Heromarine 7. Showtime 8. Elazer Invites: Serral, Neeb, Special, Time, fan votes: Elazer, Heromarine, Showtime, Reynor All is well, I can see why some people might feel Scarlett would have a better shot, but it s pretty close either way. | ||

Yeah only Fantasy is a bit off for Korea but the rest is fine | ||

If it's one of the later two, Dark maybe would need to prove he's good enough for EU ZvZ or he's out rather fast. Last 2 times it was fully random instead of forced GSL vs World. | ||

You need to actually promote and introduce people to SC2 for there to be any benefit, not just tell them to go to a website and vote. It isn't like a youtube makeup tutorialist is sending people. These are people that follow games online and are active enough to take actions and time based upon the requests of someone they follow. These types of user bumps and stuff can really help the corporate part of sustainability for our community. At this point, anything that we can do to drag eyeballs to our sport is good. Also, everyone complaining about Chinese voters .... language barrier and internet islands are why they are always under reped in international events. They have a billion people. A day may come, were we may rely on them to keep the game alive. Elazer - I think you are a talented and creative player. You better be fire in korea because you made a lot of anti-fans on this one. Not me ... but yeah. | ||

It's close to the possible worst bracket Dark could have(Serral is missing), how laughable would it be if Elazer beats him(probably the best chanche he has against non Fantasy koreans; to be nomatched, Elazer should have been paired with Maru, TY or a Protoss while Dark was beaten by him in the past and EU ZvZ can be a thing). I personally wanted to see Reynor against soO and Special vs TY, but Serral against Classic and Maru could theorically happen so I'm content with that. | ||

I agree with you. If he just said, "This is my livelihood and I will do anything to get a shot". Boom. Done. Respect. Complaining about "I haven't earned fans" is wack. | ||

I honestly think Elazer has better chances against Dark than against any Korean Protoss and most Korean Terrans. I hope Fantasy can beat Classic like he did in some online cup lately. | ||
