Remember back in the day when I used to make a poll for every season about who people wanted to see commentate the champion match? Well that stopped happening every season for some good reasons, but I'd like to make another poll now to re-check the community's current opinion on this.
I'm going to make a poll with every person who has ever commentated anything, or expressed any interest in commentating anything at any point in time. There will be lots of names on it and I'll probably have people pick their two favorites or something. If you would like to be added to the list, let me know (this means either PM me or reply to this thread). If you are on the list and would like to be removed, let me know. Yes, there are some people on here who aren't active on the forums anymore; I guess you are allowed to consider that when making your choices.
I'm going to keep the results of the poll private, at least while the poll is going on and maybe afterwards (the mods should be able to see them anyways). I don't want someone who ends up getting a bunch of votes to feel a sense of public obligation or anything. I dunno. I haven't given it all that much thought, but I remember the first time I made a poll like this I had made things "too public" and had to re-do them so we're starting this time from the other end of the spectrum.
It's not certain who will be playing in this season's champion match yet, since the season isn't over. I think for the purposes of this poll we should just assume that everybody is available to commentate and not worry about people being unavailable because they're busy with something, like playing Dominion in a high-profile match worth casting. The point of this is to have a complete list of who people want to see casting stuff that is current, and wouldn't just apply to the upcoming champion match.
EDIT: If you want to be added to the list, I think I can still do that while the poll is going.
There are a lot of people in here, I made it so you can pick up to 5 people. This was somewhat arbitrary.
I made it so the poll will be open for a week. That means it should close on Friday, Feb. 2 at about 1700 UTC, I think? -- EDIT 2: oh hey look at that, the poll tells you. Technology is great!
