I mean, the whole situation was a lose-lose-lose-lose situation all round. People would hate on JP if he didn't have avilo on SOTG, but idra (along with everybody else on the show really) would hate it. So JP decided to bring avilo on the show. Now avilo and idra go on and on and on, and unfortunately it degenerated into "you said this! no i didn't!" which is a sure sign of an argument gone to shit, so JP decided imprudently to just cut him off. But what else was he supposed to do? Let avilo go on and on and on with idra punching more cheap shots (he tolerated avilo a lot longer than I thought he would), awkwardly tell avilo that they have to cut him off because it was getting unbearable, or cut him off? Eh. Shouldn't have invited avilo in the first place, QXC was more than enough I feel.

Maybe because people who have actually followed him know his words have very little value in comparison to actual pros? He always balance whines in favor of his race regardless of circumstances. Take Grubby or Qxc as an example of people with actual knowledge rather than full on bias.

and lots of it has actually been touched on by balance patches... Many people downplay absolutely everything he says as complete bullshit, and that is simply not true. Often he makes very good points, which are unfortunately outshined by people who only talk about how he completely fucking serious he was when he said terran was fucking bullshit in that ladder game against a good friend of his. NAturally, there are some cases where he has been wrong, but that isn't even close to enough reason to shoot down everything he says

Nice snarky assumption that I haven't "actually followed him." Yeah, he can be over the top, but his analysis is often dead-on.

The cast knew how that was going to end
All of the viewers knew how that was going to end.
Avilo knew how that was going to end.

That's how it ended.

Utter shock among the community. .-. wat.

I am not going to justify either side because nobody is right here. It was a situation that should have been avoided but wasn't. However, I can't comprehend why people are blowing this up to be such a huge deal.

Avilo doesn't have the same understanding of the game that pros do, and I don't think anyone can deny that. That being said, I feel Idra was completely justified in being frustrated talking with him. Anybody would get frustrated trying to argue with someone about something you have a much deeper understanding of because a portion of what they are saying you know for a fact is not true. Idra clearly didn't want to talk to him in the first place because of this.

On Avilo's end, he knew what he was getting himself into and unlike a lot of what I am reading on here, he wasn't so innocent himself. He failed to accept Idra's opinion about any of the in-game situations he was complaining about and at one point was even putting words into Greg's mouth and interrupting him.

Could both people have handled it better? Sure.
Is it some complete atrocity the way that he handled it? I don't believe so.

In the end, he should have never been brought on. Hindsight is 20/20.

his posts/blogs/threads are always biased and would be considered by ANY notable pro as mindless balance whining by a mediocre player. he made a blog essentially saying TvP is unwinnable/unfair last month, and this month he is on to TvZ. he is obnoxious with the points he made in the conversation while for the most part IdrA was very calm, but with any legitimate high level point IdrA made, avilo would simply just counter it with a one-liner.

I can only fathom people liking him/ defending his points because they are ALSO generic terran-whiners who just move to the new flavor of the month thing to complain about.. in some ways they look to terrans like Avilo (who complain, all day, about everything..) as their King.

I highly doubt Avilo knows for certain what he's getting himself into a pure ridicule and bully. He even said so himself just a few posts ago, probably didn't think SOTG were enough of a jackasses to say those things right in his face

Yeah, I completely agree with you. They all are incredulously acting as if this is BIG news. When, in reality it's not like this would have turned out any differently. Unfortunately, the IdrA and Qxc discussion is being shoved away, even though it was rather good, imo.
IdrA fan for life, man. <3

I guess the problem starts with people talking about balance while using their biased and, most importantly, flawed experience with the game as evidence to support their claims. There are also quite a few definitions for balance in a videogames and I don't think anybody has ever defined the term for starcraft 2, that's why I think that people are sometimes uncertain about what they're arguing for or against. Is balance in starcraft 2 an issue about effort not scaling linearly or is it about a race having an advantage in a perfect scenario?
tl;dr
I think balance discussions infront of an audience serve no purpose other than providing an opportunity for drama.

Oh, you can. That was one thing I agreed with--for example...try very heavy bio aggression like MVPsc might do.

Okay so here is the situation so far

-Avilo askes politely in chat last week about coming on to discuss the current state of TvZ. Fans in the chat want him on because he knows his stuff



I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I really shouldn't disregard a post at all especially one with effort made but I stopped reading here.

You cannot be serious, you either aren't in the loop or haven't seen any Avilo posts of the past 2 years.


He asked politely in chat. He wanted to come on. The other members in chat were supportive of him as a whole.


He means you cannot be serious in saying that Avilo knows his stuff -_-' basic reading comprehension.

EDIT: And yes, your entire post is basically bias.... It's from Avilo's perspective or a fan of Avilo and is made to make literally everyone else on the podcast the badguy.


Please do not insult me. This was a big issue in this episode, Avilo brought up excellent points and idra told him to "shut the fuck up you fucking faggot."

Avilo is a very good player and he knows his stuff. His speech issue may hurt him getting out his opinions, but he is still one of the few tactical geniuses in the star craft community.


this guy is good at putting words in people's mouth

This community is so funny sometimes. Idra and QXC had a great discussion and both made valid points and even agreed with each other on some things. Than I'm guessing because that chat went nuts with CALL AVILO they'd called him and he just turned out to be some hardheaded kid. No matter what Idra said it was just flushed away with someone who wasn't listening and just stuck on one point. He's suppose to sit there and debate with someone who won't budge and twist his words.

this. the reason IdrA / others started flaming him is because he is so ignorant of actual discussion and just wants to get to the one-liner balance complaints. the fact so many people defend such an obnoxious, idiotic way to have a conversation is beyond me.. losing hope in the community by the moment.
