Well, MLG is important, yes, and if I were seeing more consistency with Sonic afterwards, I'd probably think of him a little more highly, but... when we look at today's results for Sonic, and remove the one person who's been winning him money - Espy - we see kind of a pathetic character... .___.;
When we see one really large spike in results, followed by pretty mediocre placings, we tend to write those random "spikes" off as a result of standard deviation.
EDIT: Also, Steam, if you know you're being trolled, and you try to EXPLAIN YOURSELF to said trolls, well, that's not a smart move.
