Now, I have the utmost admiration and respect for the work of ZeroEmpires and BBQTurkman on promoting AoC, but let's think logically: most of their viewers are noobs (which is great because many of them surely started playing AoC again because of Zero's and BBQTurk's awesome work), they probably heard of DauT, Chris, Viper, but most likely never heard of Bvirus, Edie or Falchenschrei.
Personally, I can't imagine so many people would run to AoCZone after hearing about a 30$ event on a youtube channel and would have the work of registering a new account just to vote on players they actually never heard of.
'Most of their viewers are noobs, don't have an account on AoCZ and only know Daut, Chris and Viper'... ?
Get off your high horse, please.
