That looks like awful design, order should make sense going from lower day count to higher count to perma.

Also pressing it or not pressing it is so binary, it needs more counterplay.

At least Avilo is funny. Part of his moaning is all about putting on a show. Much rather watch him than someone who has insane view numbers as soon as they go live and also a slow chat.....

As stated before viewbotting is a problem, not just in SC2,
here is a link to video of a popular LoL streamer addressing the issue and how the community as a whole can put an end to it, for those that cba to watch it even covers people viewbotting others streams in an attempt to make them look complicit and therefore getting them banned.

Avilo doesn't have the lowest level of play on the featured list. So starting a cleansing with him would be wrong. It's so easy to point fingers. I'm amazed that you haven't read up on basic human psychology of stigmata and scapegoating. If not to purge it from your behavior, then at least to limit it.

You know, I don't think it's about TL not having the balls to boot Avilo. It's probably about helping the sc2 scene and show more streamers and since Avilo does bring viewership, it's good for sc2 and that's probably why TL thinks he should stay on there.

We all know that Avilo breaks these rules quite a bit but since he brings viewership, who cares. Let him stream and let him be featured and it'll feel better for everyone who follow sc2 to see the streamlist and that people are watching sc2 instead of other titles.

How many people ever get banned on Twitch for viewbotting? Especially if they make Twitch money... let's be real here, Twitch makes some very shady decisions and never explains them anyway when it comes to some dubious individuals breaking TOS but still being allowed to stream, because $$$.

Blind trust in Twitch won't do you any good.


Then deliver the proof. That's all I'm asking.

I'm not saying he's not viewbotting. I'm not saying he is. I'm just saying, if you have that rule, you have to deliver proof. And I've never seen any. So saying "goodbye Winter" without presenting the proof is not furthering the plot.

There was actual proof Winters stream was viewbotted. It prompted the hilarious "I.. I.. didn't know.." post from the man himself. It was never proven he did the viewbotting but his stream certainly had bots in it.

Come to think of it, there was actually evidence him fucking up a bot subscription iirc.

From what I've read, there was no proof. There was some stats that might indicate it, but nothing close to what you'd consider proof. I haven't read whatever you're refering to that Winter himself wrote.

I expect Twitch will ban him if they have anything conclusive on him. And if not, they wont.

For clarity's sake, after winter's ban from our featured list expired and he was up for review, he showed compelling evidence that his viewer counts after attempting to purge his channel of viewbots was believable. His evidence was far less circumstantial than the proof that he had been botting. Of course, we can only judge evidence presented to us and there is no way for us to prove/disprove things independently without the cooperation of twitch. He also informed us immediately when he suspected he was being botted again (even before talk of it surfaced again). Again this isn't some final "we are definitely 100% right" verdict; we based our decision on the information we could acquire.

Here's the Reddit thread about the fake donation.
www.reddit.com
Here's Winters initial response.
pastebin.com

And again, Winter admitted to the viewbotting himself. The evidence was apparently conclusive enough for him to do so. It made his stream temporary unfeatured on TL. Temporary, because Winter claimed he wasn't the one doing the viewbotting and it couldn't be proven who was actually doing it so TL gave him time to get rid of the bots etc.

Edit: Just to make sure; I have nothing against Winter I just think there's a little more to the evidence than you do or maybe you didn't read everything I read.

Avilo doesn't have the lowest level of play on the featured list.
Are you giving me ammos ? ^^ Are you trying to say that avilo has a "high level gameplay" like he claims ? Do you the difference between good and high ?

@lichter
without the cooperation of twitch
And is there somekind of a communication between you and them ?
He also informed us immediately
It tends to prove good faith or an evil mastermind.

Masters is top 1 or 2% depending on the time of the season. That would be more than enough to call it high level in my book.

If you own a different book that needs better than top 2%, then that's okay. I think my book is better though. As 98% of the community (at least) would be able to benefit from watching a masters' stream.

And here I remain, doing streaming right with no viewbots, the right numbers, and still not featured. Yet, I see someone with compelling evidence ( winter ) was view botting and returns to the featured status, and I still see people like avilo who fall under the category of general assholery.

If this isn't a clear cut sign of TL simply out for the high streaming numbers, I don't know what is.

I'd love to see a study on Avilo. You know, like what % of games vs Korean pros has he played on stream without calling them dumb/stupid, a hacker/stream sniper or "only won due to imbal." Going from watching him play Jaedong and Parting, and hearing about Polt, I think he might be the only person in the world to be able to pull off that 0% feat.

Whether playing vs Korean pros or randoms, I can only recall seeing Avilo refrain from such actions vs Livibee. It would be interesting if there were a thread requesting players who haven't been a "victim" of such actions, at the hands of Avilo, to come forth. How big could the list be? Everyone likes to see impressive feats. Personally, I think Avilo's victimizing of others ranks up there with Neeb beating Polt and Hydra. Just as impressive if not more so. At the end of the day, views are views, and not everyone has that kind of talent. It's really not easy to try to justify why your opponent was hacking, every game. I mean, really, that can't be an easy sell.

You play 2v2 right? Maybe that's the answer.

+1. As an occasional ProTech viewer I have to agree. If you're still not going to re-feature him you might as well add "Not be ProTech" to the list of requirements if you are trying to be honest.

It's not my book. Top to bottom not bottom to top. That's how competition works.
to benefit from watching a masters' stream

You dont need to be master to stream an entertaining content.

@ProTech
Indeed, why not ?
You play 2v2 right? Maybe that's the answer.
I hope not. Combo armies are fun to watch.

That looks like awful design, order should make sense going from lower day count to higher count to perma.

Also pressing it or not pressing it is so binary, it needs more counterplay.
