Meh, truth be told I understand players not respecting NASL - it's been a badly run tournament right from the beginning.

There have been some problems but I disagree on this. I think NASL has improved a lot and is bringing great games, casting, players to everyone on a daily basis and a very small price. As a player I have to say the organization has been extremely nice, only thing I didn't like was the very tight and rigid schedule but apart from this I have always been happy with the management of NASL and the way they always try to fix things in the best possible way.

I loved your interview with iNcontroL today. Great games against Sen!

He is probably just speculating considering that the majority of no-shows have come from non-Koreans.

Some people are putting more blame on NASL? Thats fine for now, technically this is NASL's league and they are ultimately responsible for putting on a show. Ofcourse, I do disagree and I think the majority of fault should be on Painuser.

Whether you blame NASL or PU, the damage on PU's image has been done. I'd be shocked if the IGN approves of this behavior as well which could potentially hurt his new career.

NASL has used this same response when they failed to get hold of Whitera and others who have been walk-over games. Frankly it is so unbelievable that I think there is more than just one side to these stories.

It shouldn't really be NASL's responsibility to get a hold of him in either case... he signed a contract and even if he didn't have the decency to get a hold of them or answer your phone/ e-mail once in 3 weeks? Even if they didn't try as hard as they say they did to get a hold of him, its easy to assume they called/e-mailed him once every week, thats 2 weeks to check your e-mail or phone history to call them back, which he didn't do.

There is no excuse for not showing up/ getting a hold of them for 3 weeks in a row. I'm probably more angry then I should, which is most likely due to the fact that he has now stood up and wasted Boxers time, but still complete dick move totally unprofessional/inexcusable


No, NASL should bear some responsibility to at least make contact prior to that matchups and confirm everything, especially with all the WO's happening lately. While it may be his responsibility as the player to show up and respect the contracts, it looks bad for NASL if he doesn't show up (which he didn't)


I'm sorry, I have to absolutely disagree.

If you hire a contractor to show up to work, you expect them to show up. The onus is not on the organizer to run around every week to remind them of them responsibilities, make them a sack lunch, wipe their ass etc.

I used to be a fan of Painuser after seeing HD videos with him in it and watching his casting. His safe way of playing Terran always intrigued me and I was happy with seeing him get 3rd at MLG Dallas 2010. If you ever saw some of the games he played on Desert Oasis, he was pretty fun to watch. I actually felt bad for him that he hadn't won a game in the NASL.

But now I would have to say he has lost a fan. I for one do not respect quitters. Him not giving warning to Boxer to me isn't terribly bad mannered (not as bad as MC being an absolute dick to Idra after the match) but it shows bad on his character not informing the league that he was done. We shall see if these acts make him lose all of his fans

No, they shouldn't... The player signed up to be in the league and is expected to show up unless other wise stated! End of story, does your boss call you every night before work to make sure you're going to show up the next day? No he doesn't because its your damn responsibility to show up or let your boss no you won't be able to show up!

No. PainUser all the way. His statement only implies there is conflict. It in no way implies that he's decided to give up or not resolve it.

What reasons do we have to doubt them? It's not like every other time they've claimed this the other player has come out and said "that's not true"

Exactly. If NASL lied the players would call them out on it. And it's not like anyone is claiming other players have been screwing around. Sure others have had WOs, but no one has done it 3 weeks in a row. And they have legit reasons (or so I'm assuming, because NASL hasn't exactly said anything contrary to that).

Also, thesundowners... are you from niagara or frequent the area on a regular basis?

Lol at all of the "there's another side to the story." No, sorry there's not. All other scenarios it was clear the player just scheduled badly/conflicting events/or something SOMEWHAT reasonable. This case (including last week as well if I recall correctly) it's just clear disrespect to NASL and the player(s).

What I have a huge problem here with, outside of the fact he was a complete flake who disappeared, is hes ruining the spirit of the competition within the league. That entire division he played in is now skewed with results that could have looked differently if the matches were played. In a league where rankings are ultimately determined by +\- wins, PainUser is disrespecting his fellow competitors by not giving 100% and creating a fair division where each match is taken seriously. If someone were to lose a spot in the playoffs because a player gets a 2-0 walkover in week 9, then I would be incredibly pissed at PU.

His actions do not only affect him, but everyone within his division. Thats why this is a big deal, and thats why he should be receiving this amount of negativity. Its terrible for NASL to lose out on final week matches that determine playoff spots, when the league is suppose to be at its most competitive state.

No, it's not NASL job to go through threads or listen to every broadcast for SC2. They`re all obviously busy themselves and all Painuser had to do was email them with the same information. Is that really difficult? Pick up the phone or send a text?

The same broadcast that a NASL employee is on? Maybe PU though he made it clear?

I feel as if everyone is just trusting one parties word here. I know that if I told a responsible employee/figurehead of a company that I was not turning up tomorrow or again that I would assume he would not wait for me to confirm it on the day.

By the way has anyone asked the question, "If PU was 5-2 in the league, would he still pull this disappearing stunt?"

If he thought he made it clear, after the first week or two or them trying to get a hold of him during match time you'd think he speak up and make it really clear? I do not understand why you try and defend him on this? if NASL was to take any blame in this its easily under 10% and thats being generous....
