During the Grand Finals of the 2014 Nations Cup sponsored by SY, the staff gifted us with one of the best things ever: pictures of all the players involved, as well as staff.
We decided to run our elections for Mister Nations Cup 2014 in the chat during the whole event.
There were 10 entrants, as China had more than 4 players.
Over the course of the event, a whopping 172 votes were gathered in the strawpoll.
As you can see above, the final rankings were:
1 - Abu
2 - RiuT
3 - James
2 - RiuT
3 - James
Abu crushed the competition thanks to his "gangsta look" (©K4tsuni), obtaining 65 votes which gave him more than 1/3 of the total votes (38%).
James was long the holder of the second place, but in the last minutes of the competition, the final call for votes made things move. Helped by the fact that the chat seemed to assume he was probably a dog, RiuT knicked the second place by only 3 votes (24, 14% of total!!)
James eventually had to settle for 3rd, and I am sad as I voted for him. He obtained 21 votes, which is 12% of the total.
It was very satisfying to see that no one got left behind, as every player got at least 2% of the votes.
Here is the full rundown of the votes in text form at ending time (around 19GMT):
1 - Abu (65 votes, 38%)
2 - RiuT (24 votes, 14%)
3 - James (21 votes, 12%)
4 - Paladin (16 votes, 9%)
5 - Mr_Yo (14 votes, 8%)
6 - F1re (11 votes, 6%)
7 - Goku (7 votes, 4%)
8 - Lovecheng (5 votes, 3%)
9 - Miss_xue (5 votes, 3%)
10 - St4rk (4 votes, 2%)
