Which team should represent Europe at Intel Extreme Masters Sao Paulo?
In a Facebook poll of 2,575 respondents, 77.2% chose “Team ALTERNATE”. How we count
This wasn't a race — it was a margin holding steady for 27 straight days. Team ALTERNATE opened at 75% and closed at 77.2%, a 2,575-vote landslide that fluctuated by barely a point in either direction the entire way. Lemondogs never found a foothold: 588 votes, no surge, no late rally, just a fixed gap that time didn't touch.
The dominance was geographic, not just numeric. Team ALTERNATE topped nine of the ten biggest voting countries — Poland, the US, Germany, Sweden, Portugal, the UK, Brazil, the Netherlands, Denmark — leaving Lemondogs with a single pocket of support in France. And this wasn't fan-club stuffing: only 22 of 2,575 voters identified as fans of either team at all.
