And honestly how easy do u think it is to forsee that u won't be able to play on the NA ladder, or that the euro ladder would lag so much. It's unfortunate but saying he doesn't care is ridiculous. Get real lol I forget exactly how many total weeks the season runs,but assuming its 3 months like posted above...taking a 1 week break is hardly manageable. 3 months is sorta misleading when you consider that is only 12 matches. Taking a 0-2 ( negative 2 points) for a week in a division with July, White-Ra, Sjow, and Incontrol seems very tough to come back from. This combined with his first week loss of getting 2-0'd by Moman who was a darkhorse into the tournament really puts QXC in a bad position. Now he has 10 games to find his way into the top 3 for his division and with the names on that list its not easy to do that. | ||

Yes, NASL runs for a long time, bug cmon now, Spring Break must be the most ridiculous excuse for missing a playday...like....ever. Also I'm not a professional athlete and just a random real-life-job-joe, and I can't even remember the last time when I had one whole week vacation (I think it was last year July though). Also QXC is even still studying, which is like 10 times less exhausting than having a job. With a tennis tournament you actually need to be present at the arena to play, with starcraft you don't so the comparison is silly. QXC thought he would be able to get on the NA server from where he was, but as it turned out he wasnt. It's unfortunate yes, and he probably won't be going on spring breaks anymore when he has an important match to play, but again it's not like he thought this would happen. Let's not blow this out of proportion and say he doesn't care and esports is gonna die. | ||

The spoiler said Darkforce>Moman 2-1, White-Ra> Sjow 2-1, iNcontrol>Cruncher 2-1 and Ensare>July 2-0 Because this was already streamed last night for North American viewers. What you're watching now is a re-stream for European viewers. | ||

So its defiantly not justinTV its on NASL end It seems the issue with justin.tv might have to do with this: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gp4t6c2jaVZIy4tolnKFMcdPUhxg?docId=1a2f6eebf38549379970883a66b242a5 Amazon's servers are having issues, and justin.tv is (supposedly) hosted on Amazon's servers...soo...it's entirely likely they were having service interruptions, and are continuing to. My point was that there was no need to point fingers directly at NASL when you have no clue what the issue was. Saying "So its defiantly not justinTV its on NASL end" with no reason for it is just spreading misinformation. | ||

Ok, maybe sc2 isn't to that point yet but isn't that the point of this league? To get it there. To be taken seriously and further E-sports. As a professional, being paid by a team and representing that team, how professional is it to miss any matches that you have committed to. Or am i wrong in calling qxc a professional gamer. If this were just some game being played for fun you would not see these posts from me. But there is big money involved in this and plans on growing it into a mainstay. Professional athletes take games off all of the time, in all sports actually. So, your point isn't too strong. Having said that, playing 3 games 1 night a week is more doable than a baseball player say, playing games 6 days in a row. That's when they take their days off. I am surprised at the amount of walkovers this early on, but I figured it would be an issue when considering the massive schedule that corresponds with the league. | ||

Players take weeks off throughout a season, teams don't. Since this is an individual league a player taking a break and not playing a game would be like a team not playing a game. | ||
