The voting procedure for the E-Stars 2008 in Seoul, Korea have been finalized and the results have now been published. In the voting, the fans got to vote for the players they wished to see participate in the tournament.
The E-Stars Seoul 2008 Continental Cup in Korea is scheduled on the 27th of July. Also, the Asia Championship and the MSL Grand Finals, which are also organised by E-Stars, are also scheduled for the very same weekend. During the recent weeks, fans have been able to vote for which three of theirfavourite Asian and western players they'd wish to see participating in the event. Somewhat surprisingly, Russian Happy won the European voting with almost 200 votes more than the legendary Orc Grubby. As for the Asian voting, it was no bigger surprise that Sky and Moon were the dominants of the list.

The votings are not, however, the only factor that matter in the player selections. Although it has a 50% effect, last years achievements also plays an important role as well as the E-Stars committee's opinion. Until these factors have been taken in to account, there will be no final list of participants.
More information can be found on the E-stars website (see link below), but there's still alot of information missing which, hopefully, will be released soon to fill the gaps. GosuGamers will keep you posted.
