Meet David Juan Chester Blowe, better known as Avilo.
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
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:
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/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/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:

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.

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?
