If TLO plays one game as Terran I will put $50.00 into the pot.

I think Avilo should accept; 1 in 5 with those units should be something he can accomplish. Accept the challenge Avilo.

Avilo wont play TLO, he's too afraid. And i dont even mean that as a dig against Avilo, its just the truth. I'd like to see it happen of course, but even though Avilo puts on a big show about how great he thinks he is, I'm pretty sure he knows TLO & players of that caliber are way out of his league.

fun initiative, but avilo thinks like a conspiracy theorist - their strength is twisting logic and reality to appear favorable toward them, and there are no conditions you can establish which will cause people like him to concede their own guilt or flaws. outside of putting his paranoia on display for people to laugh at, it wouldn't accomplish much else. and avilo is good enough at making a clown of himsrlf without TLO's help

id watch it though lol

Losing to only basic units would just feed the delusion of zvt imbalance. TLO's T vs avilo's Z would be better to disprove imbalance.

Avilo won't accept it and honestly I wouldn't either.
If you play in a showmatch where your opponent has such a handicap it's clear that the only purpose of the showmatch is to make fun of you.
If he loses he'll be completely embarrassed and if he wins he gains nothing because everyone will (rightfully) say he won only because of the handicap.


To be fair the skill difference between them is such that any challenge format would be silly.


I vaguely remember something with a cool format between scan and kogeT, scan had to win like 15 maps in a row to take the showmatch victory

Lol Avilo.

He'd be a fool to accept this though (so he just might), unless he really wants the money (600 bucks is 600 bucks), he has nothing to gain and all his dignity, whatever that even is for him, to lose.

I think Avilo would have a better chance winning in a TvZ to be honest. Avilo's zerg is only lower master while TLO used to main Terran at a pro level.

This should happen. If he loses, so what, TLO has been a far better player than him anyway even with the conditions in place. And if Avilo manages to win, $600 ez.

It would be a lose-lose situation to stepping up and doing it.

Funny following this topic, it began as everyone saying it's a bad idea for TLO, and has shifted in to now everyone saying Avilo would be a fool to accept it...

The odds of that happening I would put at 1%. Avilo is awful when compared to pros who play the game. There is a reason he's always low GM. I would be shocked if TLO didn't 5-0 him. It's really not hard to beat Avilo.
When I think of something else, something will go here

With these limitations you could quite literally build a couple of cc's infront of your base, make turrets everywhere and camp in your own 2 bases whilst building to 200/200 pure tanks and thors, as the terran ground mecher. After that you can slowly push forward to a 3rd and a 4th. And sit back while the zerg throws useless army after useless army at you until all his 9+ or whatever bases are dried up. I know people like to think of Avilo as the far inferior player but there is no absolutely no way he would lose to a zerg 5 times in a row that has no tools to deal with a maxed out ground mech army.

I don't really see what TLO's is trying to do here apart from acting like a clown for our amusement (Admittedly this is funny). Even if he were to magically prove his point (even though it proves nothing even if he were to win 5 times) that Avilo has no business saying anything about the game, that would just mean that everyone who isn't atleast top 100 gm doesn't have the right to say anything. Which would also include the developers of this game.

It's a bad idea for both players if they cared at all about their reputation. But TLO has thrown that to the wayside lately in his crusade against Avilo's very existence. Avilo's reputation has always been in the gutter....So sure why not.

I'm not even sure what he is trying to prove with this.

That he is better than Avilo? I don't think anyone doubts that.

That he strat is imba? Wouldn't that just gave the reason to Avilo?

That mech is not viable in TvZ? Same thing as above.

I mean, I can see it for the money if avilo accepts the challenge but not if hes trying to make a point.
