It was almost a draw, but zerg was able to chase him into a corner and he wasn't quite able to keep his ravens out of fungle range with his buildings floating in the corner. It was an epic game that went on for three hours and fifteen minutes.

If by "epic" you mean "Killing Esports one cut at a time"

Like him or not, Avilo is totally right when he says not to blame the players for that game. We could look back years from now and say that single unit (SH) killed this game.

Different people have different preferences when it comes to games, you know. We Avilo fans like our games long and our armies maxed, so

I've been completely overhauling the fanclub to improve it's organization. For starters, I've added several notable vods to the fanclub, including the VOD of that epic three hour game vs Patton! Click herefor a link to that vod.

Make sure to get your supersize popcorn and supersize rootbeer ready, because you're gonna be there for a loooong time. Enjoy!

Edit: I also added some streams to the list of livestreams that time out users who discuss Avilo in chat. If you get purged for discussing Avilo in a stream chat, please post about it here (preferably including a screenshot), and I'll add it to the list.

No, he lost the series vs Patton in the second round. He lost the first game to Patton because he went for an early reactor without having any units behind his wall-in and zerg was able to break down his wall with a 10 pool. Avilo lost too many SCVs to win that game. The second game was the epic 3-hour game, and he just barely lost that one as well. Still an epic game though.

Not quite, he coaches tennis part-time. But he streams every day for varying amounts of time.

Thanks man. I'll go nag him a bit and beat him with a club until he signs up. And then Arkansassy will do the same (he's a real huge procrastinator).

Arkansassy will be too busy today checking out the WCS brackets to make sure that there aren't any players in the Wildcard qualifiers with under 200 wins last season.

Also, I still find it rather suspicious that avilo's rank from last season mysteriously disappeared from Bnet and that blizzard claims to have the number of wins, but refuses to send him proof. Granted he laddered mostly on his barcode account last season, but it's just all too convenient for my taste.

UPDATE: ThePharside explained to me in a PM how the system works, which I appreciated. So nothing suspicious there.

Also: The names that I and several others found that were under 200 wins, avilo checked out himself in the actual online bnet and said they did have 200 (exactly).
