Are people that either worship or pick on people with mental issues really a majority in the sc2 community? | ||

Wasn't there that whole drama where he went crazy because he thought he had a gf but didn't? | ||

Oh yeah that happened, thought you were talking about an actual medical examination though. Anything that we know about avilo that he shows on stream or Twitter can just be an act. | ||

I don't remember it very well, but I remember reading drastic things about the way he acted, something like crying for hours and and delusions about conspiracies against him? Seems a bit much for just an act, though maybe I'm just remembering wrongly. | ||

Otherwise it's just the perfect excuse for all the bullshit he pulls. | ||

He is honestly passionate about going to NW and is popular enough to win the vote. He probably even created a portion of the hype around the event which everybody should be happy about. This is exactly how it is supposed to work. Frankly, the complaints that I would find most justifiable are by the other contenders who didn't get voted into the top three. But instead it's mostly people who are pretty much uninvolved but, ironically, all the more toxic. And I could imagine that even to the players who did make it through the voting it is probably annoying that most of the NW 'hype' is just people complaining about one particular person being voted for. Also, if he wins a match or not is beside the point. People voted for him because they want to see him play. Probably a number of players will not win a single match; it's a completely normal thing to happen. | ||

I don't think he does, He can be intelligent when he's not playing his "character". Agreed, people just like him or dislike him for how he displays himself on stream and in the public and that's completely okay. At the very least he put in the work to get the votes with his rap and 24 hour stream and I can respect that. The vote is just a popularity contest in the end. I voted JonSnow, but he certainly could've done more to get more votes. | ||

But it's nice to see that our community already forgot that and condoned his behaviour, wohoo let's go mech god! I expected more professional behavior from you given you are an administrator for a real business. Shame on you. | ||

Nationwars is entertainment first, people vote for whatever person they think will produce the most entertainment. If anything blame the system and nationwars itself, it's a popularity contest, even strengthened cause you can vote daily. If a serious competition was first priority there would be a qualifier. | ||

Avilo harrassed and stalked a person, to the point that she had to cut ties with everyone in this scene, and everyone is acting like that was no big deal. Shame on me for being passionate about this.

That thread on Reddit bashing him for even being in the vote for example, and Rifkin's retort to his "rap... Not to mention the other thread here about Avilo chat people using VPN to manipulate the vote... Oh and Winter's anti-Avilo campaign in his stream of course! All that stuff generated a lot of attention = a lot of PR for Avilo. Any PR is good PR. And on top of that the haters end up coming off like worse people than Avilo himself, only succeeding in generating sympathy for him instead. Lol. Untrue, Avilo was always winning the poll since the very start of the votes. If anything, people calling him out made JonSnow closer | ||

Untrue, Avilo was always winning the poll since the very start of the votes. If anything, people calling him out made JonSnow closer Sorry but that is actually incorrect. Avilo was clearly behind both Mcanning and JonSnow about 3-4 days ago, I believe after Winter's stream campaign. Then the VPN thread happened, people began talking about Winter's campaign, Avilo posted his rap and Rifkin replied. At that point Avilo began rising in the vote surpassing even Mccanning who I believe he had always been behind earlier. Of course we'll never know exactly what caused what. But my bet is that the anti-Avilo campaign generated more sympathy for than against him, because people started feeling that his opposers were going too far. At least that was the case with myself. Oh, and I just found a Reddit comment by CatZ basically agreeing with what I'm saying, well worth a read for many reasons (he has several more very good comments in the same parent thread): https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/8100sx/please_dont_vote_for_avilo_to_represent_the_usa/duzwy8m/ | ||

EPT
you might not wanna open your mouth too much more, you already make ESL italia look like enough of a joke and if you want me to illuminate people on IEM Katowice over a year ago i can surely do that. The event that you travelled with my gf to back then.
