How many have hate voted in one tourney in response to the other tourney's loss, or how many of the lower tier characters got a boost just because a higher tier character from the same series was participating in the other tourney?

In all honesty, despite having different demographics and a thousand miles separating them, j-moe and k-moe are inexorably linked for some reason. Starting at around the same time doesn't help things one bit either.

Compare this to I-moe, where Korean particpation are relatively low and Japanese are practically non-existent, on top of the scedule finishing soon after the main moe tourneys are starting.
Korean participation isn't that low - they make up a good 15% of the population. (estimated. Have to check IPs sooner or later)
