After all the drama around the voting system, Cyrene won third place in Star Rail Awards
This was positively a shitshow on the CN side, particularly between the Phainon and Aventurine fanbases and accusations of botting levelled against each other, controversy about devs' alleged favoritism for other characters (including Cyrene), along with subsequent intense competition and fan infighting after devs activated cloudflare (which led to a lot of vote gathering, strategic voting and just a lot of unnecessary drama imo). I think it's safe to say that, starting from the preliminaries, there was a lot of botting involved for a lot of the top characters here (particularly the top 4), but it is what it is and the devs released the official results.
Reminder that this is a famous yearly CN poll (in which one could vote outside of CN though) but that it is unofficial and they're not affiliated with miHoYo.
P.S. Someone on X did the calculations: after the Cloudflare was activated (note that this was done quite late during the finals though), which meant after the moment people were completely rendered from botting the votes, the one who was receiving most votes organically (i.e. non-botted - assuming Cloudflare was able to completely work) was Phainon by an enormous margin, followed by Aventurine and then Cyrene.
