Let's rewind the clock a year. *Mothership and archon toilet is dominating "Just don't let protoss get to this point because it's GG if you do" "That's the most retarded thing you can say about this, so it's fine as long as you kill the protoss before he gets a death ball with a mothership?" - Idra | ||

It hard as hell getting any kind of context. This. Avilo at the end was making absolutely no sense and was barely even understanding what Idra was saying. If he was actually giving a decent debate, then maybe i would feel some more sympathy for him. But in the end there, his logic was so flawed and he wasn't even listening to what Idra was saying and just kept repeating "so you agree with me." | ||

This year his results have been bad yes, but he actually has results (which were obviously 8 months or so ago now) but still a lot more results then Avilo. He has a few tournament wins in big lan tournaments that again Avilo doesn't have. The difference between them is quiet big lol. | ||

Don't give me "the chat wanted to bring him on". JP didn't have to actually bring him on, all of hosts are more informed than the chat on Avilo's background. Avilo should never have been brought on period, and it could have gone much better than it did. All in all i feel bad for the guy, he gets invited onto a popular show basically to get shit on. | ||

IdrA being IdrA of course, so, he just shitted on him because he did not want to respond to his arguments rather than just sticking to his arguments that Avilo tried to prove why they are "kind-of" wrong. The reality is avilo doesn't really know shit. But then again neither does Idra, nor anyway sitting on that show. | ||

PS: Thanks QXC for coming on the show and making sense, even if you have to hold back. | ||

The ONLY reason that guy was brought on was because JP knew Idra would trash talk him, there was a 0% chance it would be a worthwhile discussion and that was known ahead of time. That's just a fact about the show, if you're watching SOTG for rational balance debate you're very very misplaced. I thought the IdrA and QXC debate was pretty good. Both were rational and had good responses. But yeah, the Avilo thing was inevitable, and a waste of time, imo. | ||

He actually lets idra finishes talking unlike certain mad baby that loves to interrupt people and call people bad when he has NO RESULTS just because you can't fully grasp his points doesn't make it invalid. Sure, he overexaggerates, but many of his points are what terran feels right now did you really argue that idra has no results?.. REALLY? idra as bad as his slump has been is still one of the most succesful foreigners to date, whereas avilo hasn't done shit | ||

Putting words in someone else's mouth so you can agree with them is not being rational. this escalated after idra constantly interrupts and ad-hominem attacks. Idra pretty much directed the debate to head this way | ||

Stop listening to a vocal minority on twitch chat, or if you absolutely have to invite avilo in for entertainment purposes, don't be a fucking beta about it and boot him off mid-sentence because IdrA got massively flustered. Ugh. | ||

To paraphrase Idra himself, being king of the special class isn't a big deal, and Idra would have a hard time even making prince as of late. | ||
