Kind of surprising in my opinion that people expected the full 2.7k to go towards a single tournament. The balance changes aside, it's clear he put time / effort into organizing this. I guess I might feel shafted if I had donated to him for DH Austin, but then again, maybe he will do more of this balance test tournaments in the future, i'm a glass half-full kind of guy i guess  | ||

This will put an end to pylon under the ramp cheeses. This could allow terrans to rush protosses by building an ebay/a supply where they want to attack. The silly situation of the "tower rush with supply buildings" would just be reversed. | ||

Yet, he receives criticism from people such as TLO and other notable players for attempting to do something. Despite some of these changes being purely insane, at least he is trying to do something. For that I must give him kudos. To those who criticize someone for doing something they are passionate about, shame on you. You are a fucking joke of a human being to sit there and throw bombs at someone trying to rebuild the house in which you reside. Even if they suck at patching up the leaks, at least they are trying. The only reason those 500 dollars even exist is because the community wanted to help Avilo go to Dreamhack. If the donation tag said like, "Pay my bills for the month - goal: $700" far less people would be inclined to donate. But no, it was for a specific purpose, and with the number of people accusing him of being a scammer, he felt pressure to host a tournament. If all the rest of the money was spent on bills and shit, what was he planning before? To go to Dreamhack, then have no money for three months? Come on, you cannot be that stupid. There's no way Avilo would ever go to Dreamhack as a competitor, because it would force him to admit that some of his shortcomings are actually his own fault. You can't scream, "This guy is stream-cheating! We got ourselves a stream-cheaterino, people." or "This guy is a hacker. Oh my god, he's blatantly hacking. We got ourselves a hackerino, folks, he didn't even scan before moving his units." when the person is sitting across from him. The only thing left to do, therefore, is to rip on the development team at Blizzard, which he has consistently done to compensate for his own inadequacies. This whole thing allows Avilo to keep a majority of the money and avoid being labelled as a 'scammerino', which should be obvious at this point. He didn't even make the map. He just wrote down a bunch of changes with no consideration to ZvP to buff the fuck out of mech, with the ultimate endgame being that his tournament will draw enough publicity to create a mob that will demand Blizzard change the game, and hopes Blizzard will cave and implement these horribad changes into the game. He's always encouraged his fanbase to spam the battle.net forums demanding that Blizzard change the game, because he's already been banned from the battle.net forum for doing so. Avilo isn't even "passionate" about SC2. He just isn't good enough at any other game to even be considered competitive, so there's nowhere for him to go. All this talk of "saving esports" is a smoke-screen because he doesn't like the game, and wants to use his fame to bend the community in his favor to make Blizzard change the game to better suit the way he plays. Since he has absolutely no leverage, I can't imagine the developers ever listening to anything he has to say, since he has insulted them viciously. You know, the people who built the "house" you speak of. You know, the people who have put in countless hours to develop and balance the game. And it's easy to think of Blizzard as some nebulous entity, but in reality, there is a team that has an allotted budget, and have to work within the constraints of that budget. That's a reality that Avilo readily ignores to cuss out the people who made the game. But if you really believe that Avilo is donating 500 dollars out of the goodness of his heart for something he's just so motherfucking passionate about, then I would request that the community give me 5000 dollars so I can also host a 700 dollars tournament. The tournament will take place on a map that I will get someone to make for me, and it will massively alter the gameplay to suit my whims. But please, do it for the community because I've got all this passion and shit. | ||

Maybe he can confirm or deny that rumour seeing at its his thread. | ||

He never stated he is the most creative porfessionak player in Starcraft 2 (just like you're know for beign a crybaby, flammer, unskilled piece of...) 4) You totally dismissed any other non-Terran matchup in your proposed chages, is evident the sole purpose of this mod is to favor mech and not "balance". 5) You don't need to personally test a giant dildo if you know it will go up your arse to foresee the consequenses of doing it, The same for your claim "but you've not testes it bruhhhh". 6) You're the clown, the rat, the waste of the streamers. Your level of play is not enough to have advaced understandment of the game as this circus shows it, so tell me, how are you smart snough to balance this game? ^THIS SO MUCH - all six points | ||

its really nice to see, that hes making a tournament and im sure, that over 1k people will watch his stream, BUT if you put that much money on the line, you should really make sure, that there are no game breaking bugs in this mod. this needs time, so imo, this tournament should start in maybe around 2-3 weeks and not this weekend, so that it can be tested. | ||

Darkblizzard aka deathbringer is the one that coded the editor, i think it might be because of the new viking/hellion skins, i'll upload with changes soon. Thanks for pointing it out found out about it yesterday as well, for now try using base viking/hellion skins and it should work. | ||

$500 is a ton of money for an SC2 tournament, if you don't like the prize pool, please offer to help me find a sponsor for the tourney, or offer to contribute $$$ yourself. What i personally do with my bank account or what i do with money i earn from twitch streaming is quite honestly no one's business here. I was very transparent about my twitch DH donation goal and the entire reason for me making this tournament in the first place is to put back some of the money i earned on twitch to the SC2 community. Honestly you Starcraft people are acting like fucking spoiled brats. SC2 is a dead game comparatively to what it used to be, spending $500 of my income on an SC2 tourney is essentially like burning a pile of cash. But it is quite a bit, and hopefully the tourney will get a lot of views and prove a point that the game we all know and love can get bigger changes without the game being broken. There are a lot of good players signed up right now, and i'd encourage people to test the mod, try out the changes, i think this will be a really surprisingly good tournament with great games and the changes put into action will surprise people. Also, if anyone finds anymore bugs please let me or darkblizzard know. There should be a new version of the mod uploaded tonight that addresses the viking/hellion changes that weren't working. Also p.s. all the people that quite honestly are saying negative shit about my tournament are part of the symptom and problem of what is wrong with this community. Here and on reddit...anyone that tries to do ANYTHING or make any content, or do ANYTHING for this community basically gets shit on for absolutely no reason. It's no wonder most content creators have left SC2 - the negative fuckfaces keep driving everyone away from this game. Please stop it. | ||
