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? You bitch about everything and like to pretend you had more than 43 votes and a "top level player", as if the people in NASL are trying to work against you. And yeah, the poll doesn't matter, but that didn't stop you from making a blog about it, or calling the people in NASL elitist, assholes, and everything else of the like. If I was in the same situation, I wouldn't try to make such a big deal of it and try to look like a victim. It's not that you hack or whatever, it's that you complain and are so negative towards NASL that this starts to happen. | ||

Did he contact you to say that he thought he was being trolled? or was he willing to take advantage of the situation so that he can get into NASL? Very good question. Also Avilo, if you read the thread you will see they say they don't know who cheated the system, but when the frauds were out, you had only 43 left, so the reason you were picked was not the case anymore. Seems pretty cut and dry to me. | ||

So he made this thread b4 I made it myself essentially. as several people already pointed out, your also being removed from the standby list because they used that list in relation to how many votes you got. Turns out your votes are fake so your off the list because you aren't in even the top margin of voted in people. Keeping what I said in mind please kindly get off this martyr position you have about elitism and what not and realize that this is the internet. | ||

I don't think that's a good line of thought to focus on at all. Nobody should be held accountable for the actions of others in a situation like that. Anything can happen on the internet. | ||

1) He is accused of doing and mocked 2) He didn't do 3) Bashed by community You guys are crazy. I wasn't a fan of avilo before this but now I think I will be. Going for it without a team and everyone bashing him constantly, good for him. | ||

Also 43 votes on avilo seems low to me, since i'm sure he already had more then that from people over at gr.org alone. Perhaps they should just do it fair all together, that basically means only invite Idra from NA and some of the top guys from EU and rest koreans. Then you have the real top 50. I honestly hope iNc isn't invited either; he hasn't shown himself to be top 50 in the world or close yet at SC2. That said, he's not really part of the discussion at hand. | ||

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? If you read basically any post on him from this thread it should be pretty easy to see why people have a negative attitude towards him. I am honestly starting to think that he is just trolling. As regards to "accusing" him of hacking\rigging the vote them said. There was 1 sentence that implied that in the first PM, and it has been retracted. And its pretty apparent regardless of what he has or has not done to be slightly suspicious, I mean assume your house is robbed and you see a guys car outside with all of your stuff in it, is your first thought\reaction that someone took all your stuff and put it in that guys car to troll you? The only reason people do not believe it is avilo is because it is so obvious that nobody could ever be stupid enough to think that they would get away with it or whatever. But then again this is the internet so you never know. | ||

Jesus. So much sense of false outrage. Did they accuse you to the public of being a hacker, cheater, or shady individual? No, Xeris dealt with you through PM's in a manner that wasn't ideal, but hardly the insult you're making it out to be. Also, you want the NASL to be fail. Your repeated spiteful comments in this thread and others are 100x less professional than Xeris' comments to you. | ||

In reading the entire thread so far it was made clear by xeris multiple times that it could have just as easily have been someone else. I don't understand what you're not seeing there. | ||

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. | ||

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. Absolute truth. The NASL owe Avilo an apology. You straight up accused him of cheating with no proof. He has every right to feel hard done by, he never claimed to be a shoe-in for a spot in the top50. But to be turned down, called a cheater, AND removed from the standby list is a completely disgraceful thing to do to someone. I am not a friend or fan of Avilo, as a relative noob to the sc2 scene I have no idea who he is. But fair is fair and you are in a position which holds some sway with the community just by being a part of the NASL organization. By throwing out that accusation (and yes you did accuse him) you have branded him as a cheater and cry baby forever. He will never hear the end of this. Its extremely unprofessional and really does not bode well for the future of the NASL. edit: Tyler beat me to it. Perhaps his name will lend my point some weight. | ||
