how the fuck do you people justify calling EG/sponsors? he wasn't even treated that bad compared to how they treat Artosis sometimes. He talked a ton of shit about SOTG for not having a Terran, and then suddenly acts like the victim once he sees the community starting a storm. Pathetic.

quote's from his twitter (he talked even more shit about SOTG in this thread when he demanded be on):

to this..

Oh you were digusted Avilo? Maybe you shouldn't have talked so much fucking shit about SOTG and its hosts.. example:


HOW do you people not understand that AVILO is not the victim? he wasn't completely innocent when he got on the call? He had said beforehand things like the above (that iNcontrol is a bad player), and that SOTG is a joke.. this community is pathetic and needs to understand the context of a situation before you contact sponsors/teams.

I'm going to condense my responses to a single post because despite what some of you may like to believe, this isn't about me or even avilo at this point. It is about the general lack of respect shown by individuals who want to represent professional eSports.


@farvacola, trust me your hypothetical Angel of Death wouldn't tell me anything I don't already know. Still I won't waste my time always searching for those wasted years.

@Bashion, there's a difference between the general ladder rage of insulting people and having a superiority complex that makes you sincerely think you're entitled to hold 99% of the StarCraft community in utter contempt.

@iGoTThiZ, even if my complaint to EG sponsors (which for the record I haven't written yet but will after the holiday on the 4th) was so incredibly persuasive they all immediately dropped support and EG had to disband immediately, the only trouble any of the players would have is deciding which of the dozen offers from other teams to take.

@darthfoley, stop posting? no u! lol

@elmizzt, oh, uh, about 11, sir.

@RedBlack, Keep it up and I'll write your sponsors too. For those who didn't look it up, "twonk" is a derogitary term, roughly equivalent to idiot. More insulting than berk, but less insulting that gimp. Sidenote, it's a shame "berk" is less insulting because it's certainly more fun to say but I guess it's too close to "jerk" to catch on.

@freakhill, mentioning Orb brings up an interesting comparison. iNcontroL can, for example, say he would punch CombatEX in the mouth and knock him out and he would do so to further eSports. Well yeah it's big talk and he probably actually wouldn't do it and he'd have a strong defense of being provoked even if he did but thank God he didn't call him a nigger! He can make lewd jokes about a former pornstar because hey former pornstar, and call avilo a shithead because no one's confusing avilo for White-Ra or Sheth, and tell a large section of the StarCraft community "Fuck you forever" because what do we matter (most of us aren't even Masters level players!) and it's all good. SirScoots approved. Buy an EG shirt! But heaven help you if you use the N word. A year ago. To some random person online who probably isn't even black. EG has standards and don't let anyone ever tell you different.

Weird, you seemed to have missed all the times avilo was interrupted.
And can we skip the follow-up "But then avilo twisted IdrA's words!!!111" whinge?

I'm not whining. I don't care. Clearly you do. You may have failed to read the part where I said I had never watched SOTG in the past.

The fact people can get so worked up about shit like this (and be so "proud" to "do what is right" even though the majority think it's wrong) is mindboggling to me. You seem like you're 16.

Hi everyone. I'm back. Hope you didn't miss me.

During my unplanned time-off I decided that I am going to contact EG's sponsors. I expect apathy from them, ridicule from EG, and scorn from the "Don't kill eSports" crowd. So be it.

IdrA and iNcontroL have shown an unrepentant attitude of disrespect toward all but a handful and SirScoots is okay with this. While this is nothing new, it has reached a point where I am no longer interested in them or their events and that is something sponsors should know.

Don't worry anyone. I'm just one guy and I will recommend to the sponsors that they continue with eSports but that they should and can find better teams and players to support. And don't worry EG fans, even if all the sponsors were to leave the team, I am certain they will continue just fine from shirt sales and stream revenues.

I didn't watch IdrA's stream much since he never seemed to commentate or interact with viewers and there was often something wrong with his audio that made all the songs he played sound like a broken washing machine but iNcontroL had been moving up my list. Hard to hate a stream that plays songs by In Flames, even if it tended to be the new stuff.

Whatever. They won't miss me and I won't miss them and I don't expect my letters to their sponsors to have any effect at all. In fact, I encourage EG to print this post, frame it, put it on the wall, and drink a toast to me every time they get a new sponsor.

Still, I'm surprised and disappointed that for all the "let's build eSports" talk I've heard from iNcontroL, he, unlike Sundance, doesn't get it. He says the last two SotG episodes were bad but it doesn't look like he understands why people are complaining. You got a lot of growing up to do, buddy.
