Hey Avilo, just ignore those trolls I would be upset in your position as well and it seems there isn't much you can do but just to let it go. Though I would like to see sincere apology from Xeris | ||

Is Avilo > Incontrol in tourney placings? That would surprise me if true I know not offline because Incontrol is top 16 in MLG rankings and pretty sure Avilo's not. Also alot of fans want incontrol in, he's got a lot of fans (as well as haters unfortunately). So in a sense it is a popularity contest, they want good players who have a good fanbase as fans are what brings alot of viewers. So I expect to see some questionable players get in due to their popularity more so then skill but I think overall most of the players that get in will be good. Can't wait for player announcements to start and sucks this "voting" thing had to happen I didn't think it was going to be used really at all but turns out it is which kind of surprises me ![]() | ||

So you'd rather watch incontrol lose a one sided game rather than someone else (avilo) play a solid game simply because avilo's jokes aren't as funny as incontrols? I love incontrol, but the elitism in this league is simply retarded. | ||

The number might be in dispute, but that's not important. It's not in dispute that at least about 18,000 votes were rigged. Is there any evidence that avilo is responsible for the rigged votes? Absolutely not. That's all you've got is motive. But then there are alternate explanations, like this whole "let's spell Athene on the front page" thing and haters of avilo who just want to screw with him by giving him fraudulent votes (he has gathered plenty of haters just because of his passionate posts on teamliquid.net). And you've got avilo saying he didn't do it. Now look up again at what I quoted at the start of this post. It doesn't make sense to say "it's avilo's word against uservoice's evidence that votes were rigged." That's all you can say is "We've determined that votes were rigged. We've got an accurate vote count now. We'll work from there. We were unable to obtain any leads or evidence that might point us toward the culprit so unfortunately we won't be pursuing it or taking any actions against anyone." In my opinion, Xeris/NASL should apologize to avilo and NASL absolutely should not penalize him in any way. I couldn't have said better. Good luck avilo. Hopefully your name won't be too tarnished. | ||

If he wants to join a tournament in the future, even if he becomes 10x better, everyone will know him for this. Avilo if you actually didn't do this, im sorry this shit happened to you. It's retarded.....and if you did, well fuck you. lol It's not the NASL that's trashing his name, it's himself and his responses. No one calling him out is doing so over the voting stuff, only for what he's doing in this thread | ||

But at the same time this league is a chance to make sc more popular in north america and there really is something to be said for watching people you know. I'm torn. | ||

You are being completely respect-less towards xeris even after he retracted what he first said, apologized publicly(which you did not at all deserve) made it clear that you are not at all getting punished for someone trolling your votes. I am pretty sure if this had happened to any other player there would be no hate, because there would be nothing to hate, because they would not make a big deal out of this throwing tantrums and in general just acting like you are losing out on some sort of god given right to be in the NASL, or that Xeris has somehow tainted your family name for generations to come. The posts and attitude you have shown in this thread alone has tainted your reputation 10 times more than Xeris ever could with any bucket full of accusations. | ||

Who cares about Avilo enough to award him votes he doesn't deserve? I sincerely doubt that he doesn't have a single fan that is that passionate about him considering I've only heard about him from his own efforts to promote himself and when he's bmed players that play him on their streams. | ||

At least the two things I wanted to hear from Xeris, an apology and clarification that he's not being penalized in any way, have now happened. Not to be to much of a suckup, but always love your logical approach to threads like this. A bit of a silly situation to come up and a shame it went like this. Hope NASL will do well though and wish Avilo the best in the open tournament/standby. | ||

The only beef anyone should have with the NASL in this matter is the initial accusation that avilo was in fact the person responsible for the trolling of the polls. He's owed an apology MAYBE but no penalty was enforced on him.... | ||

You told me this via email. And I continually have tried to contact you or the owners to tell you that I never have hacked or cheated these friggin polls, let alone done any of that in my past 10 years of gaming and so you guys started to just ignore me, and dust the issue under the rug. Thanks. You should probably accept the apology at this point. Xeris made a mistake in judging you it's true, but it's also a understandable one; you had a lot (20K?) fraudulent votes. If you ran a poll and found someone had that many false votes, you would likely too make the hasty (but incorrect) assumption that they cheated. Xeris made the same initial but incorrect error in judgment, and has now apologized for it. | ||

Avilo has a point when he says it's elitist, and to say the prize pool should make it that way is bullshit. I'm curious if incontrol will have to "earn" his way through online qualifiers. Afaik avilo > incontrol in terms of tourney placings (even if online). I agree with this post 100%. So power hungry and elitist. Like post your NASL application video, why should you be in the league blah blah those videos are all awkward. Fan voting (that doesn't count? or does it?) and digital video application/intervies.. it just seems like a popularity contest where the people in control... are just eating it up. Getting sooo old. | ||

I love incontrol, but the elitism in this league is simply retarded. You claiming that Avilo is better than iNcontroL is funny. This whole thing is getting blown out of proportion. Xeris apologized for his poor wording, and Avilo is not in anyway getting punished in an unjust way. They removed the fraudulent votes and that was it. Avilo going on a slandering spree and trying to martyr himself for whatever 'cause' he is currently taking up is doing nothing but making people dislike him more. If he wants to get into the NASL he can play in the Open Tournament like everyone else who is not being invited. As far as being elitist? Of course it is. It's an invite tournament, where only the best of the best will be invited to play. The poll is nothing but a popularity contest and has little to no bearing on the invites. To claim that he got screwed out of a slot in the NASL is stretching the truth way too far. This matter is pretty much done, and Avilo is only making himself look worse by dragging it out. | ||

Didn't you do that exact same thing in your "NASL: What's the deal?" blog, where you publicly accused the NASL organizers of having an "anti-avilo" agenda before you even spoke to anyone about the problem of your votes being removed? You said in this thread you knew the votes were illegitimate, but you argued in that blog that they weren't and that: It sucks they accused you of cheating with no real evidence, but the way you trudge around with this persecution complex while simultaneously doing the things you complain about makes it really hard to sympathize with you. Hey, when i'm getting mocking PMs and such that they "misclicked my entry and deleted it -oops" stuff like that...even look at the title of this thread...they even have to randomly mock me with the title. What have I ever done to them personally? Nothing. And yes, there is nothing wrong with me getting votes. Lots of people voted. We all know I didn't have 23,000, but I certainly had more than "43" but it doesn't matter, they can put it at whatever number they want, and in the end that doesn't even matter too. I'm not trudging around with a persecution complex. These guys have continously mocked me via PM/email subtly, and even this thread title is a subtle mock which I guess is very professional of them. And apologies are real easy to come by when you need to save face. | ||
