This is awesome. So many cool players!

Squirtle, Losira, Ryung, Salvation, Curious... I kinda wish the gatekeeper had stuck around in GSL though. He is a legend.

I find it hard to believe he couldn't qualify for the GSL again either.

Especially considering the code A qualifiers have gotten a lot easier

Well, he's godly at ZvT and noticed that all the Korean Terrans went to WCS America... There hasn't been a season with more than 4 Terrans in Code S this year until this one so the switch was understandable.

Stream views

Which, to my knowledge, doesnt help him because he ran zero ads during the game

He gained alot of subs especially later on in the game.

So in summary, why do I often defend avilo? It's the same reason many defend you, TotalBiscuit. The truth must be defended.

edit: Word Crimes

I think most people are annoyed because he delayed the game on purpose by pausing and trying to get the admin to force the draw while his opponent wanted to keep playing. Then pausing again close to the end for no reason at all beside annoying his opponents and the viewers.

After a while it was clear that he couldn't keep his base anymore but he had to wait until Patton fully broke through before finally floating for his draw attempt. Then when it was clear his units could be hit and he couldn't do anything he still stayed in the game wasting even more time. I never saw any attempt of him trying to win this game once he bunkered up. All that he was doing was delaying the inevitable. Ingame and with bm pauses.

If he honestly was waiting for a mistake of his opponent to capitalise on then he wouldn't have alt tabbed all the frigging time to check his messages.

Actually, it was technically possible for him to have a draw. When he was floating on the edge of the map, there was one tiny spot where his ravens were out of fungle range, and if he'd managed to keep them all in that one spot (which he did for a little while), he would have had enough PDDs to make his buildings invulnerable to attack from corruptors. He's actually had a three-hour game end in a draw in this exact fashion before via stalemate detection, so it was not unreasonable for him to expect to be able to pull it off again. He knew that he had enough ravens to continuously keep enough PDDs spawned to allow his vikings to defeat all the corruptors without taking any hits (similar to the previous 3-hour game), and had he been able to keep his ravens/vikings in that one spot that was outside of fungle range he would have forced a draw via stalemate detection.

No defence of the outrageous bad manners and gamesmanship? Or are you going to keep up the façade that Avilo is really well-mannered..?

Way to ignore absolutely everything in my post and make a one-liner response. Where exactly did I mention his manners in my post?
My post was about the actual situation in the game, which is similar to a game he played in the past that actually did end in a draw. And the key element they had in common was Terran floating buildings over impassable terrain with enough ravens to prevent corruptors from ever being able to engage them and kill the buildings.

Wow, is the aftermath of that awful avilo versus guy who lost to Protosscarlett game still going on?

Oh and Neige is Terran now? Wasn't he Protoss in Brood War?

EDIT: Wait, never mind, I'm an idiot. I was thinking of Snow.
