Meet David Juan Chester Blowe, better known as Avilo.

663085


Avilo is a 31 year old StarCraft 2 Terran player, who has been playing the game since at least 2011. He's extremely (in)famous among the community of the game, but while most, if not all players are mainly known for actually being good at the game, with a couple being better known for being creative in how they play, Avilo is simply known for raging and crying "cheater" whenever he loses, and talking shit to other players, while never having the actual skill to back up anything that he says. He has repeatedly called out even other StarCraft 2 streamers for hacking, with this video being one of the most popular ones, where Avilo even confirms that he calls people (in this case, the player he's playing against, JuggernautJason) hackers, while not even knowing if they are:

He is also extremely infamous for being a rabid "balance whiner", claiming that the reason he loses (when it's not his opponent stream cheating or hacking) is that the opponent's race is "imbalanced" (the game has three races, Terran, Zerg, and Protoss), although curiously enough, he seems to have little inclination to take a principled stand against it. He has always bashed Blizzard's balance decisions with the game in an extremely insane way, even calling recent buffs to Terran "placebo". Basically, if his race isn't made extremely overpowered so he can win every game, every balance change is shit to him and Zerg and Protoss will forever be "broken". This also comes from the fact that he can only play the game in a single way: using Terran's Mechanical units in such a way that he "turtles" (that meaning he never leaves his base to attack and builds so defensively that he ends up starving his opponent out), resulting in extremely long games.

He has attempted to go "pro" in StarCraft 2, with only two significant appearances. The first one was during one of the RedBull Battlegrounds tournaments, where he ended up being eliminated, and pulled his traditional balance whining while that was going on, you can see the first game here: https://youtu.be/in7UvLowKEQ?t=149 And the second game, where he forfeited because of the "unfair advantage" his opponent had in the first game, here: https://youtu.be/LFrLFPDEyjc?t=181

To explain further, and a small dip into Avilo's delusional mind, in the first game, his opponent built a Town Hall structure in Avilo's base, so he could use an unit's ability to activate its long range weapon in it. Avilo got enough units to counter the "proxy", so his opponent cancelled the building, getting 300 of the original 400 resources back. Avilo thinks that his opponent had no way to defend an attack with all his workers and units because he "killed" the building, and because he didn't notice his opponent cancelled the building, instead of it being killed, he calls it an unfair advantage.

His second appearance in a "pro" setting was during 2018's Nation Wars tournament, where fans could pick three players for each country's team through a vote, and Avilo's fans, plus many people who wanted him there just so they could watch his tard rage in a pro tournament, voted enough so he could get on the US' team. Needless to say, that alone generated controversy because of his general attitude, and his appearances in games was as predicted, he lost and whined about balance in the game:

Most recently, he tried to qualify for the official world circuit of StarCraft, WCS, and he ended up facing a player that has an habit of trolling him, mainly by playing under the name "<aivNA> Avilo" (Avilo plays under the "<aviNA> Avilo" name in SC2), this player is TheRiddler. Why is this remarkable at all? Both TheRiddler and Avilo play Terran, and TheRiddler decided to play Avilo's style. The result? The first two games (this is a best of 3) ended up being over an HOUR long, EACH, with the first one resulting in a draw because Avilo called it out as both players unable to win, despite TheRiddler still killing some of Avilo's stuff and having a "bank", this being an amount of resources where TheRiddler could allow some units to die, and he could replenish them. This alone caused controversy because the admin in charge of the game called in favour of Avilo, and TheRiddler got a warning the day after because of this. This draw was what caused the second game being so long, as it was a redo of the first game, on the same map. These two games lasted so long the ENTIRE BRACKET for the qualifiers had to be delayed for the next day, because their match was the only one left to do. They played the last game the next day, where TheRiddler took a 2-0 victory.

Now besides that, there isn't much else that can be said about Avilo in StarCraft 2 specifically, he's a tard who calls his opponents cheaters or the game to be imbalanced when he loses, and acts like a tough guy when he wins. Even if some drama has risen up because of him, what exactly would make him a lolcow, especially when one could dismiss this as simply a pathetic attempt at a persona?

Enter Maria

Not much is known about Maria, only that she is Italian, and worked for ESL Italia until Avilo got involved. On July of 2017, Avilo started talking about how he was in a relationship with Maria, and when people on his Twitch chat started doubting him, he decided to try and get Maria on chat to prove it that they were a couple. She never did, and on a stream on the 31st of July, Avilo went through a complete breakdown, live, in front of many viewers, where he cried about her lying and demanding her to show up on Twitch Chat:
https://streamable.com/as7hz

This went on for FOURTEEN HOURS on the first day, and then went for another 4 hours on the next day. Eventually, Maria showed up, but not on his Twitch chat, and most certainly not saying they were a couple, in fact she was stating the opposite. This ended up catching the attention of Destiny, who spoke to both of them live on stream, and at some point, Avilo got so delusional about what was going on, that he started saying Destiny was in cahoots with Maria to fuck him over. You can see his entire conversation with both of them here:

The first, fourteen hour long breakdown, caught the attention of multiple streamers, by the way, including another StarCraft 2 streamer, MaximusBlack, who decided to bring this glorious moment to everyone on his stream:
https://streamable.com/hxf03
https://streamable.com/x36pi

During all of this, Avilo started calling out various staff of ESL, calling them the "ESL admins", and also talking about how people in a Skype group tried to convince Maria to cheat on him. In the end, though, Avilo got banned from Twitch for 24 hours over this. We didn't hear him talk about this again...

Until November 2017, where Avilo started crying about her again, and this time the tard rage was real (warning, really fucking loud clip): https://livestreamfails.com/post/10059

This didn't last as long, but after that, Avilo had various moments where he'd either talk about it on stream, or on his Twitch Chat, and eventually... He got the police called to his house, several times, and while it was speculative at first, Avilo confirmed it on stream later on.
https://streamable.com/kzxbc

So Maria didn't want to have anything to do with this guy, she wanted him to stay away from her and stop talking about her, if the calls for the police to go to his house weren't a big enough hint. So what does he do? HE FLIES TO ITALY TO TRY AND MEET HER! Unfortunately I don't have an archive of the video he made while in Italy, which was on his Instagram, and which seems to be gone now.

After that, there's only been a few mentions here and there, where he's spoken about her cheating on him and whatnot. Though on April 25th, he made a post where on June 30th, he'd post all the truth about the relationship, and the "voice mail" that he got from Maria. Did he deliver, though? Nope. Nothing at all.

He kept his attitude going, until this July, where he got yet ANOTHER ban. This time a thirty day long ban from Twitch, with the reason Twitch gave him being using the word "faggot" and the term "dumb whore", implying that he went on another rant about Maria on that day. Interestingly enough, the reason Twitch gave him for the first ban was also for him saying faggot. Most of the tweets he was spouting right before the ban were gone, but you can see what they were here:

http://archive.li/0Emm5
http://archive.is/NzMcI
http://archive.li/jpxJ2

His ban ended on August 13th, though he didn't show any intentions on changing his attitude, and since then, he's been his usual self, talking shit during stream and on Twitter, while trying (and failing) to enter tournaments. That is, until December 2018.

Harassment of Atira

In December 2018, Avilo grew interested in a female StarCraft 2 streamer, Atira, and while he was mostly quiet about that in public, he proceeded to get quite obsessed with her during January 2019, having joined her Discord, and after a spat with another SC2 streamer and getting muted for it, he went into a full tard rage, demanding mod status so nothing could be done to him:
663087

This kept going, with him making it public by bringing it up on Twitter, and then doing a whole exposé on the whole matter. He also harassed Atira while she was streaming, PMing her in StarCraft 2:
https://streamable.com/wuxfa

Unfortunately I didn't follow this much and didn't hear about it much, until February 10th, where it was revealed that he was banned from Twitch again, and after a quick look, it seemed he was still harassing Atira, driving another SC2 streamer to ask for support against him, which drove him to immediately expose himself as the one causing the trouble for Atira. Additionally, there's a ton of screenshots of his behaviour being revealed on StarCraft's subreddit.

At the time of writing this, he's still trying to spam Twitch's Twitter to get them to unban him, but considering this is his third ban in a bit over a year (24 hours in August 2017, a month in July 2018, and now this ban), it's safe to say it's permanent.

It'll be interesting to follow what he does after this, he's tried to post videos on YouTube when he was banned in 2018, but that didn't seem to do very well, so it's safe to say he's possibly fucked himself over completely.

There's been wide speculation within the SC2 community, from all of his actions since 2017, that he suffers from some mental illness, and considering his rampant delusion regarding any topic, that being StarCraft, Maria, or Atira, that's not that long of a shot. Some have called him schizophrenic, while others just calling him plainly insane or psychopathic. Regardless, he's the main lolcow of the StarCraft community, so a thread is possibly warranted.

I'm seeing archives for individual tweets, but not his twitter as a whole.
 
This guy is a huge drama magnet in the SC2 community, he may be a localized lolcow but he's definitely a lolcow. He's the pro-gamer equivalent of someone like Narcissa Wright in the speedrunning community (with less transgender but the same amount of mental illness)

2007 isn't the only year this guy didn't see any action.

This part isn't terribly surprising (although nice and juicy), he's a "pro"-SC2 gamer without a team or sponsors, who's a known toxic entity to the entire SC2 community. It's virtually impossible to be a pro-gamer without sponsors, because if you try to do that shit with a full-time job you're gonna get demolished by people who have more time to practice.

Although the fact that he lives at home makes the 23k debt a little more surprising, that's a lot of gaming chairs or whatever the fuck you spend 23k on when you have no bills.

Avilo's been awfully quiet on his Twitter, only retweeting posts from that one game he claims he's the best at:

upload_2019-2-16_3-56-47.png
His YouTube has been seeing some activity, though, uploading videos of that same game, with very little results in terms of views, and the likes/dislikes are not going in his favour:

I'm guessing he's been told the ban on Twitch is permanent, and he's trying to get something done on YouTube as I expected. This is a first in him being so quiet, but then again this is the first time he's actually had some actual consequences, so it'll be interesting to see what happens from this point forward.

Huh. It's the StarCraft version of Verlsify.

If there's no pro circuit for that new game he claims to be the best at, the boast kind of falls on deaf ears. It seems like he's trying to desperately make it appear that this game is relevant so he can act high and mighty and possibly be invited back onto Twitch as a pro streamer (though that's never going to happen again).
You can say you're the best at a game, but the truth is unless there's official tournaments and standings (like there are for StarCraft) that doesn't really have any backing.

This guy just seems like he's really angry that he couldn't master any race other than the most basic one, and because of this feels the need to cut down those with higher skillcaps in the name of 'balance'. Part of me thinks these cheating accusations are all just formed out of rage because he never learned how to counter a Photon Cannon Rush.
 
Update, he's been unbanned:

668630
EDIT: Of course, he's very classy (Archive) about it. And yes, he used to have a bunk bed up until a year or two ago.

669008
And he immediately went to attack a streamer (Archive) that called him out on the harassment of Atira.

669049
I decided to look into the "harassment" Avilo is crying about, and got these clips from the stream:
https://streamable.com/o6j4w
https://streamable.com/j9xlv
https://streamable.com/8gakt

This is the same streamer that posted this tweet (Archive), and in the clips he's saying exactly what he did, he didn't mention Avilo, instead Avilo was the one that immediately said he was the one being talked about. This is the same situation in the OP.

669036
I knew he wouldn't stay quiet for long, it's going to be fun watching what happens.

He posted a few tweets about how he's being persecuted by the haters:

673700
https://twitter.com/avilosc2/status/1097598325199724545 (Archive)
673701
Atira has also been posting tweets about how narcissists act (Archive), it doesn't take a genius to know who she's referring to:
673704
That top tweet actually had two replies from this one account, obviously a sock from Avilo.
673706
Additionally, I got some pictures from someone in an Avilo Fan Discord Server, where both Atira and Avilo spoke. Avilo showed even more of his deranged behaviour, and Atira found out that Avilo was telling people they were in a "relationship" in his Twitch chat. Finally, Atira said she called the police on him before leaving the server.

The last screenshot mentions him sitting in Atira's chat, so I decided to check, and sure enough, he's there, watching:
673730
Finally, a minor note, but his debt case (could be his father's, though, since they're both David Blowe) has been dismissed:
673732


EDIT 20/03/2019: Fixed the Streamable links since embed was broken by XF2.

Bumping yet again because there's been some development. It seems Avilo decided to bring up drama with Atira again during his stream yesterday. I've obtained a clip where he showed some phone messages between himself and Atira: https://streamable.com/pq0ow This clip comes from this stream right here, I've downloaded it and attempted to upload it onto Mega, but not having much luck right now: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/397507044

To put it simply, he stops playing StarCraft entirely simply to discuss the drama with Atira and show a bunch of stuff, and especially showing his Discord conversation with her, with her being on a different Discord account that is visible in the stream itself. The Discord stuff starts at 4:30:00, and the clip I showed at 3:13:05.

EDIT: I have managed to upload the entire Discord chat part:

Part 1: https://streamable.com/tk102

Guy is quite literally deranged. I feel quite bad for the women involved, feels like he could snap at any point. He does seem to genuinely believe that he was actually dating Maria, so feels like that could end up horribly for some unfortunate lady in the future.

Surprised that Twitch unbanned him though, he got three strikes within more or less a year and now keeps doing the same crap.

Maria actually lost her job at ESL Italia because of the drama he caused, if I recall correctly. Doesn't help that a few other ESL staff got harassed by Avilo because of their connections to Maria, when he kept saying that she was cheating on him with an "ESL Admin".

Editing to not bump so soon, I found the video he posted on Instagram while he was in Italy, where he waited for Maria to appear: https://streamable.com/8u1ix

Update 4/15: He's banned again.
726478

There's a case against him now, as well. David Juan Chester Blowe been charged with harassment and recording without consent. Summon to court was issued on the 11th. Session will happen on June 12th.

4/28: Avilo has been radio silent since the 12th, since he got banned and served, however I've obtained some more info from that one Avilo Fan Discord. Atira showed up there a few times, and it seems she had some info on Avilo's reaction to being served:
740675
Secondly, it seems his posts (or someone named Avilo) on a site named rgif.is, which seems to be an incel board, were discovered:
740684
This caught my interest on something I found out a while back. If you search for Avilo's usual avatar, you'll find it being used in another incel board, truecels, which is the one that he said was a mod of.
740688
And yes, that's the Farms you see right there as well, it seems that we might have had Avilo in our midst, or at the very least someone who used the same avatar as he did: @LegionareTenta. I'm taking this info with a grain of salt, but Avilo's behaviour and all these connections make it somewhat credible.

EDIT: Avilo seemed to have joined the Fan Discord under an alt named Stimpack, and he DM'd one of the mods to talk about himself and Atira. The mod screenshot as much as he could since he was warned that Avilo would do this, and you can find the compilation here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11AkeCaUq3ncfjmtpidSv2RyfcJlC9l42GVWdz-XpoRg (Archive)

6/4: Avilo has resurfaced after a month and half to post this (Archive):
1559626605859.png
Nothing much new about his case, just a few updates. His court session is still scheduled for next week, so on/after the 12th we might see something new. I don't expect anyone to go there and actually record/write down the session's happenings, though.
1559626669309.png
EDIT: It seems he's taking part in the latest WCS Challenger Open Qualifiers, too. Since this lasts until tomorrow, I guess the court session doesn't impact his presence (especially since it's online so he can play at home), however Twitch streams will not be allowed to show his games or anything including him, as Twitch considers that a way to evade bans, and since he's been banned for over a month, it's likely that his ban is finally permanent.
1559627019502.png
Never mind, after looking at the complete bracket, he lost already.
1559627093933.png
EDIT 2: Oh hey it's the fifth year anniversary of one of his two major tournament appearances (Archive).
1559685207131.png
EDIT 3: He's apparently still in. He's in the Losers Bracket of the second Qualifier for WCS Challenger (Archive):
1559767789902.png
Of course, this is causing him to grow overconfident again (Archive), even if he's beating a bunch of nobodies.
1559767901217.png
He says this (Archive) even though his presence could very well cause Twitch to force WCS to take some measures to ensure that he's not seen on stream since he's banned. And his attitude remains the same, of course, to the point he's actually exposing PMs of him calling another player a pussy and actually getting warned that he can get DQ'd for it, which would be hilarious.

EDIT 4: It seems some of his games WERE streamed. Right now all eyes are on his second game with NoRegret, because it ended with NoRegret dropping some banter:

Because it's Avilo, the community in general ended up siding with NoRegret on this (Archive), except for Avilo fanboys:

1559769225529.png
1559769296889.png
1559769488159.png
EDIT 5: And he's out. No posts since his gloating on Twitter, likely that he's going to be quiet again until the court date, then we'll see some new stuff.
1559805891021.png
EDIT 6: I've encountered a video of one of his games from the Qualifiers of WCS from January, where he rages about a unit in StarCraft, a unit he's complained about for years now. There was a Reddit thread about it (Archive) as well, and of course the community in general sided against him.

6/12: I should have bumped this last night, but alas I forgot.

Avilo's trial begins in 3 hours. I'm not expecting anyone that's interested in him to be attending and writing down what's going on, but perhaps his "fan" Discord server will have someone watching. Either way, we have the case file to inform us of the final result.

Holy fucking shit this is hilarious. Idiot comes here to recruit personal army to dox, get's doxed.

Unless he was extremely clever by using the name of the person he actually wanted doxed. That'd be a different kind of funny I guess...
