>>8248301If you mean the current available choices, 4 of them were previous medals (Watamage included, before Kaichou was added for the previous Cup). The rest were trends I've noticed appearing a lot universally on the board, regardless of thread or subject matter; they've also been chosen based on expectations of them making the roster anyway.
For example, I have no doubt a Towa representing player would make the roster, hence rather than clutter the next question with her there, I went and tried to see if anyone might want Pregnant Towa.
The only exceptions to that are APEX LEGENDS and IRyS, who I wanted to give a slightly more fair chance of getting in, given that they are new.
If anyone is truly upset with them effectively being given roster spots automatically, then I'll hold a referendum before the Cup and see if people want them removed. I don't expect that to be the case.
