I see the random internet hate bandwagon bashers are out in full force today.

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

That shouldn't matter at all. This isn't a fucking popularity contest, it's a tourney where WE, the fans, should get the best games possible.


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
When I think of something else, something will go here

But what is the best game every played if no one wants to watch it?




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.

Since there's no way to tell WHO actually did the votes, it's basically Avilo's word that he didn't versus uservoice's evidence that all his votes were rigged.

I don't understand how anyone could think this is a good way to look at it at all.

It's a fact that the votes were rigged. No one is disputing it. 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.

Its not about getting into the NASL, it's about his name, and now it's completely trashed. 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

I kind of agree that there does seem to be favoritism towards known players. 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.

This whole elitist tournament is only right. I have never heard of Avilo (and I follow the scene pretty good). And just from the application videos in the NASL App. VOD thread I can easily name 50 bigger names all of whom Im more excited to see. Although this is ofcourse a personal preference.

Anyways, Xeris gave Avilo a public apology. Wtf more do you want?

Why do you think the hate is random? 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.

I think that it's funny that Avilo is trying so hard to get into the NASL and is denying all of these claims and acting offended even though (in my opinion) he still is the one who cheated to get himself all of the votes.

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.

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.

Why is anyone under the impression that Avilo was penalized for having fraudulent votes? He was on a standby list (not one of the 50 players) because of his massive popularity in the polls. The fraudulent votes were removed. Now he is off that standby list because the votes weren't legitimate.

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....

Avilo, I'm sorry my first pm came off as accusatory. I clarified my position. Again, we're not accusing you. I'm really sorry that you feel this way.



You obviously did accuse me, and said that the owners decided to remove me from consideration of being in this tournament and/or the standby list. 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.

Every time xeris posts I dislike the league a little more. 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.

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.

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.

So far I don't see one shred of proof you have more then 43 votes.......

You've gotta be kidding me. Your type of logic is exactly why this bullshit needed to come out. I'm not a goddamn cheater, in ANYTHING. Nor have I ever had a history of cheating in ANYTHING.
