I really dont think there is a need to cause more harm to his SC2 "career" then hes already done to it himself. Hes shown his commitment to his obligations or lack there of, there isnt any reason to do anymore damage, leave it be.
Definitely gonna switch to G, the only race I havent played yet. - TLO

What?

A guy is sick, can't play his matches, and you want to rally up some great crusade against him? Clearly its a lack of integrity disrespect for the community and competition, not like...a guy getting sick.

Next MLG should have a good ol' lynching party outside, I'm sure we can find some trees to hang PainUser's corpse from for such a dastardly deed!

While i agree that this is not a subject to worry about, NASL will deal with it, I do think that he is less deserving to be on inside the game...he said himself on the show that he is going to become more of a caster than a player, and the point of the 3 guests on inside the game is to get a terran, a protoss and a zerg perspective...but Painuser is no longer a competing player

NASL is a professional organization, and there is things that happen that the entire community doesn't know about if a player violates rules, IE not showing up. These consequences were also agreed upon by NASL and the players that signed contracts, so I am sure it is already being handled the way NASL intended it to be.

He just doesn't get invited to new leagues or tournaments where doubt exists about his ability to play through regardless of performance in future.

Problem solved.

If public humiliation or community action needs to be done, NASL will do it, please don't take matters into your own hands.

PainUser is working a full-time job now and doesn't have the time or desire to dedicate to pro gaing anymore so how exactly do you intend to punish him? Even if he were blacklisted by events (which he probably is now) it doesn't really matter seeing as hes no longer a player. Seeing as his full-time job is with IGN, the host of the IPL, you think IGN is gonna remove him from being an IPL caster? A player choosing to not show up for a match and dropping out of an online league doesn't hurt the credibility of StarCraft, just the player. Did you freak out when TLO dropped out of EPS as well?

Some other people have shit to do, where sc2 isnt the first thing. Who knows he probably had better more personal stuff to take care of. And besides he has been in the community a top 100 player and deserverd the spot. Please take your rage elsewhere. Just because people don't show for matches doesnt mean they don't deserve it. plus its the last week of nasl.


You're being an apologist. I take "E-SPORTS" less and less serious each time stuff like this happens. Probably had better more personal stuff to take care of? Get real, its a PROFESSIONAL event, would you accept it if a basketball player just...didnt show up to the game? Its not acceptable and frankly just makes all this stuff seem so childish, highschoolish, amateurish, etc. People pay money and apologists excuse them for basically wasting their money, great idea.

At the end of the day, its not that big of a deal, but making up excuses to their benefit is pathetic and in no way helps the integrity of the "sport" at all.


NASL isn't esports, it isn't a professional event. The only people who watch the NASL are people too stingy to pay for the GSL.

People complain about players not taking the NASL seriously. How can you blame them when the whole show seems so shoddy? Incontrol just massages his ego, gretorp shrieks like a girl, and they both have this horrific wannabe-tastosis vibe that's just offputting and forced. Their weird system of broadcasting a recorded show cast from replays is just bonkers.

Maybe that became a rant, but the point is, how can you expect people like painuser to take this tournament seriously when it clearly doesn't deserve it?

Hey, just to give you guys a heads up, he has strep throat. I work with him 8 hours a day, and he's been very sick. Sorry he hasn't played up to your expectations.

EDIT: He also had to cancel his appearance on ITG and EGMC this week because of his illness.

Or like the other 100 times over the last year since beta when a Player has had to no-show due to circumstances when he definitely can't make the match or tell anyone about it?
For gods sake, this isn't half the shitstorm that Artosis Vs Slush made in beta and that lasted like 2 days before everyone forgot about it until I just mentioned it...

That's a big over reaction man, if you don't know all the specific details I don't think coming out saying the community should somehow punish the guy, since you didn't mention (and catspajamas did) he has strep throat. It's up to NASL how they handle things like this anyways and not the viewers.
