when did avilo rise to fame and why are people listening to the bullshit he says?


He keeps pointing out obvious bullshit in this game where others choose to hide behind their monitors spitting around jealously.

Also, he mechs all day long in all matchups where others have already quit the game.


Like how late-game TvZ was supposedly unwinnable even before Snipe got nerfed?

He just says Terran is underpowered no matter what the state of balance is, broken clock right twice a day etc.


No, he says Protoss (and Swarm Hosts) is bullshit, which is common sense at this point for everyone who can look at a mirror with straight face.

You should rather not speak at all if you have no idea as is clearly shown in your second paragraph...


A low-mid GM player not being able to beat something with mech doesn't make those things bullshit.

That's the exact reason why. His understanding of Zerg is like instinct.

When Life first broke out he was the main topic of discussion in Korea and most Zergs (Nestea and DRG (I think) most notably) openly admitted that they wanted to play like Life, but couldn't. I don't know if that's the case now or not, but Life has always had a very unique and intuitive style of Zerg that is insanely hard to emulate.

You gotta play lots of Zoo Zoo Bubble to copy Life. No one has that much patience.

Also, to expand on this, Life's instinctively aggressive style of play is also what makes it difficult for him to beat players like Soulkey (back in WoL, anyway) that are comfortable playing a game of defense.
