Heh. I wasn't saying anything about this particular poll...
You just said you didn't think non-Koreans should be allowed to vote in this poll because "they view players differently." Maybe I misunderstood, but that sounds like you're saying something about this poll.

Flash and the other onemight wanna thank soO hyung for taking too many second places so that they can qualify

Having someone to qualify that is foreign fan favored for a tournament in Korea wouldn't be too cool to Korean fans imo That's a lot of speculation. I think everyone has their own bias and I wouldn't mind seeing the difference in foreign votes vs korean votes (or T votes vs P votes vs Z votes etc). However, it's only for 2/16 spots. I'm usually not a fan of viewer selected players, but with 5 times as many qualifier spots it doesn't really matter. If the fan picks are poor, they get eliminated in round 1 anyway.
Second, the reason any tournament has fan pics is... they want fan investment/hype because that usually ensures that fans watch. Now, it wouldn't deter my excitement or viewership if the popularity players were based on Korean popularity. However, other (foreign) viewers might be less likely to watch if that was the case. Since they are marketing the event to ALL fans it makes sense for ALL fans to be allowed to vote.

Not that I'm not happy to see Life as a votable option, but how the hell did he get into a 2014 "top 15" Kespa list? ...... And herO is probably being rewarded for PL, because Kespa can do that sort of thing. But Life?
I need to drink less coffee. I guess you´re missing out that the HotSix Cup is not a Kespa tournament, so i don´t think they should be able to reward any of their players for a good year or anything. The tournament is organized and produced by GomTV as far as the announcement says, so i guess they made the Vote list. --------------------------------------- 2 Question: 1. Could any Mod add the link to the outcoming of the Vote? After i voted and wanted to check the standings, i just got the " you already filled this document" page, but no link or anything to see the results again. 2. Is there any information how long the vote will be up? Does it may end before the qualifier, so the voted players don´t have to player the qualifier at all?
I'm not a mod but: here you go -> Results!

I lol'ed at soO (GSL Season 1~3 runner-up)

A total 43,000,000 won in prize money will be awarded to sixteen players English is not my native language but does this mean that all 16 players get money?
Edit:Grandfinals same weekend as IEM San Jose -.-

Voted maru. He is most deserving. No shine on poll grinds my gears.
|
LOL from the moment I saw this on facebook, I thought, "well it's nice that Flash is definitely going to win that vote" lol
|
FlaSh and Maru still leading the votes, with a very comfortable lead for FlaSh. I hope most players on that list make it to the actual tournament tho, and those players are great players... T_T Also, soulkey is listed here. Didn't he take a break from competitive sc2 ? Does that mean he's back ?

As it says "A total" I assume that it means that the sum earnings this tournament is 43,000,000.
EDIT: But I don't know if that means that all 16 players earn something. Probably top 3 are earning most of that.

Luckily its KR vs NA, so we should have about 22 hours of starcraft a day with no overlap there.
In the end, Red Bull/Monster wins?
EDIT: Or you know, Hot6ix. I bet this was intentional, scheduling things so we'd have to watch non stop starcraft and thus consume copious amounts of Hot6ix in order to keep up. Now only if they'd sell outside of KR.

Choose ONE player. Three Jin Air players + TRUE.

Also to be fair it would be more interesting if there were invites best on results in top tournaments like in Blizzard Cup: i.e. top ranking American region winner (Bomber), top ranking European region winner (MC) etc. I'm not really a fan of a tournament that's so heavily focused on korean region.
