Can you fill us in on what your achievements are that are better than the elitist BW background players compared to the other people who are probably being considered?
Maybe you have better achievements in SC2 then Nada? Idk. I actually have never seen you win a tournament, not that I have so I can't say much, but your argument lacks some stuff.

All I can say is that you NASL guys should have chosen your words more wisely when talking with avilo. The first few PMs does have an accusing tone and I can understand avilo being upset about being called a cheater/hacker.

Pm's are THEN, NOW is the final ruling which is what he posted, which obviously overrules whatever has been said before.

I've never "exploited" anything in any game random troll. Don't try to de-rail this with stupid arguments about "scvs moving to a mineral patch stacking themselves is an exploit."

Why are people being so disrespectful towards Avilo? I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding and everything, but even in this thread people are calling his stream crappy and laughing about how only 43 people actually voted for him. The guy didnt do anything wrong as far as i understand? I am just a little confused. I guess it's just people being idiots or whatever?
Random people bandwagon on pointless internet hate because it makes them feel special. I haven't done anything wrong indeed.

These awesome NASL people, apparently from what Xeris has emailed me and told me, I have been deemed a hacker/cheater by the NASL and was completely removed from consideration due to fucking trolls on the internet that are out of my control. And when I am PMing/Emailing with no responses, no contact with the owners, you can see why I have a right to get upset.
Jesus christ, man. Your claims are ridiculous. There is no evidence that you got these supposed "500+" votes, and now you're accusing the NASL of unprofessionalism and you're judging one fucking line that they said to you as the whole of what the NASL thinks in this situation, even though they just made a whole goddamn thread to clarify their standing.
Bottom line is they removed you because the large majority of your votes were illegitimate, get over it.

At the rate he's going on, soon Avilo will have more posts in this thread than he did legitimate votes.
|
dem 500 DIEHARD FANS ...turn out to not care at all
The votes don't even mean anything. Avilo, you can't even be in the league yet because you don't have a team. This shit was pretty obvious, and you still manage to complain about it and look dumb.
|
i think the OP did its job no point in keeping on. NASL doesnt owe avilo anything. Get over the soap opera NASL doesnt need this stuff in it.
|
Avilo it was not Xeris, or NASL even, that went through the votes and declared how many were real/fradulent, bitching about NASL will do you no good here.

Well, if you would read, they have indeed accused me of hacking/cheating a poll that doesn't matter, as well as said via email that they are removing me from consideration period from the NASL because they are saying i hacked/cheated the polls.
Bottom line is they have told me they removed me because I cheated, when I certainly have not hacked/cheated anything. They can backtrack all they want now though.

If nothing else, the respond time to this is great and keeps us in the loop. Communication is probably the most respected part of starting this new league and hearing from you this quickly earns a ton of respect from me.
I was wondering myself who was voting for avilo so greatly that even players like Liquid players were not getting top notch, and just attributed it to having idra and artosis vying for him, but guess that isn't the case after all.

People shouldn't get caught up in the details. People will try to focus on the negatives and claim that is the damning piece of evidence. It doesn't matter.
Should NASL remain professional at all times? Yes, but they're also human and Xeris is not a robot or a man with a fleet of secretaries responding to every email or phone call. I would have a hard time reacting to Avilo in Xeris' shoes. How long do you have to spend on somebody that, quite frankly, doesn't matter?
A response of, "There is no way you're getting invited to the NASL unless 50 people die." would have been very rude, but also accurate.

The way I see it, someone figured out how to screw with the voting system, went on teamliquid.net, found avilo's name whether through a post or his stream, and thought it'd be funny to fuck with everyone by voting him to the top of the list.
Avilo isn't a notable enough player for him to be very high up on the list anyway; I don't understand what all this bitching is about. He had his twenty seconds of fame, and it's time to laugh it off and go on with life.

By far the most reasonable idea presented in this thread.

That doesn't make the past irrelevant. In the real world, unprofessional correspondence isn't usually erased by a quick "oh by the way, I meant something completely different to what I said".

I thought votes didn't matter, but regardless it's not like Avilo will make it in anyways.

What the hell is your problem? What is with this random bashing, look at wtf is posted and going on. If you were in the same situation I would support you because it's absolute bullshit that they told me I am being removed from consideration and accusing me of cheating/hacking their polls.
Like jesus christ, they say the poll doesn't matter, but then they go and tell me they are removing me from all consideration and that I am a hacker/cheater?

I just hope this isn't a sign that TOP KOREANS aren't on the list.... because if Avilo was ever considered, it would only be because he is from NA.
He's exactly the type of talent we got in NA.... which is why NASL should have TOP KOREANs!
Sucks to deal with this type of stuff though as an admin..... you know who is really manner? Top Koreans!
:D <3
He's probably a bit better than some of the players who will be chosen, the tournament won't be better or worse without him or anything, but he doesn't have things like a BW pedigree making him a lock for an invite tourney. He's kind of the poster boy for those players who could potentially make qualifiers but never make invitationals

to quote Xeris from the OP:
To clarify: We are not accusing Avilo of cheating. It could have been him rigging the votes on the poll, or it could have been someone else rigging the votes on the poll. Either way, all the fake votes were removed, and the remaining, legitimate votes are... 43. So, Avilo was not removed from the poll, but his fake votes were.
to quote Xeris a 2nd time from the OP:
Once again: we are not accusing him of cheating. There is NO WAY for us to know exactly who gave him 23,000 votes, but they were fraudulent votes.
surely initially they did, or at least appeared to, but once the facts came out about your fraudulent votes it's clear something was incorrect

I don't like avilo. He complains a lot.

PMs: "Ah, you were removed from the poll by uservoice. We investigated fraudulent voting and your votes were illegitimate. You used the same account but changed IP's every time, which was pretty funny. ".
But, I can't really take you seriously anymore. He has every right to think he was accused of cheating.
I think avilo is getting the short end of the stick here. And how can anyone believe he has only received 43 votes? He is definitely known well enough to draw more than that

I dunno. I think you made the right decision to remove Avilo from the voting. However you did accuse him of cheating in private, and even worse, now you've done so in public as well. You can't say:
"Ah, you were removed from the poll by uservoice. We investigated fraudulent voting and your votes were illegitimate. You used the same account but changed IP's every time, which was pretty funny. " And then try to argue that you're not accusing him of cheating. Wishing doesn't make it so. You can't even argue that statement as a typo.
Seriously, you folks need a PR guy. The league hasn't started yet, and you've already made a series of rookie PR mistakes. I gotta give you guys credit for the transparency, but stuff like this makes your organization look very unprofessional.
