So him being on the list ahead of
29. Seeker
30. BigFan
31. VoganRL
32. Swampflare
was just a clerical error?

Are you sure the mistake wasn't going "My tournament my rules" and accepting yourself after the countdown was at 0?

User was temp banned for this post. Vote Bigfan in group F. Down with DieuCure! I know some people are not aware of this specific emotion, but ... .. it's called passion!DieuCure is a guy that cares about the game. A lot. Unlike 99% of other posters. He lives and breathes with it. He gets highs and lows like no other from it. Yes, he makes angry remarks, but that's just because he is so invested in it. This is a fan site. Vote for the big fan which shows it by actions, not the one that tries to fake it by nickname!!!
Lol. To think DieuCure is a more hardcore fan then BigFan is one of the craziest things I have heard. Low tier emotional posting is where we all started on BW staff. We've evolved to levels of dedication to this community that have been consistent for the better part of a decade. BigFan amongst us has done better then most in keeping up his consistency as a TL worker too. So hands down, there are few who come close to him when it comes to caring about not only the game, but community.

Fuck me. You're right. I may have to re-tally the votes to see where I messed up.

A vote for DieuCure is a vote for the people. Down with the bourgeoisie!

Anyway, let me be clear that while I appreciate my friends' crusade, I don't think you should make youself much trouble because of it and under no circumstances should you alter the already running contest.

Thanks BD. It feels like I've been working for TL for decades at this point. Just so much stuff going on all the time ^^

You realize that if you go off actions, DieuCure would get roasted from every perspective haha. I have more posts in just LRs during like 2012 or 2013 than he has posts on all of TL and have probably posted more emotional posts too that didn't bash my game of choice. That doesn't take into account other staff contributions of which I've lost count of.
So, where's this passion you speak of????? Calling a game a joke is an insult or maybe, just maybe SCII is a joke game? 
I mean, sure, if you're someone who believes in DieuCure's own words, vote for him by all means! :D

Now it gets into the heated part! I fear there is a danger that some people do not understand what some of the names mean.
First of all, let's look at mizenhauer. Maybe some of you know him as the "guy that said Rogue is a patchzerg" , but how many of you realize that he is the literal backbone of the SC2 reporting on this site? That without him there would be just a tiny trickle of articles? Just behold the incredible, not even exhaustive, selection from recent times where he contributed text (sometimes whole article, sometimes a part):

In addition to this, I believe he also did a lot of the recaps that are posted simply under "TL Esports" without personal credit, which means that he watched, wrote down and twitch clipped a metric shitton of games for the enjoyment of you all.
For a completely orthogonal contribution, I would point to his community casting work. Maybe some of you think that the LRSL series of tournaments (concieved and extensively run by another competitor Ej_, and then taken over by yet another competitor Durnuu!) is just something silly that a bunch of idiots do to pretend to be real SC2 players, but in fact it is a huge cornerstone in building up the community (it surely helped me immensely to really get any connection with people here). Anyway, it was mizenhauer who casted most of the matches in all the incarnations (heavily supported by luolis, who we sadly somehow forgot to nominate). Unfortunatelly, many casts got lost to the twitch abyss, but lately he is careful to highlight them, so you can (and should) head to https://www.twitch.tv/mizenhauer/videos/all to see examples of his work - and also the man in person!
However it's not only mizenhauer you should pay attention to in this competition. I have already mentioned Ej's and Durn's key roles in running the community leagues, but that's not even all they do! Together with another key community member, Elentos, they watch literally every SC2 game out there, including the most obscure tournaments in the weirdest corners of the internet and then produce these marvelous selections:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/535259-the-best-games-of-june-2018
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/534286-the-best-games-of-may-2018
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/533372-the-best-games-of-april-2018
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/532866-the-best-games-of-march-2018
These four: mizenhauer, Ej_, Durnuu and Elentos are an exquisite collection of dedicated and hard working SC2 fans. Their encyclopedic knowledge of any game that ever happened in the 8 years the game is played is absolutely stunning and the amount of time they spend talking about every single aspect of strategy and pro scene is overwhelming.
On top of that, they are also pretty fine blokes.

I'd like to thank my campaign manager Opisska.

Not sure you can promote mizenhauer when it comes to versus Seeker. Seeker has been translating SC2 articles for years and has been running Liquibets2 flawlessly for years. Both are great community members in their own way for sure, but if you really had to dig deep on both these guys, seeing everything Seeker has done for TL is just mind blowing.
