It is most likely that NASL only ever tries to contact people on the day of their game if they fail to show up. In which case they just assume that PU was going to show up despite the fact that he publicly announced that he can't reschedule his NASL games due to work, and he is stepping back from gaming. Which is where the "middle school break up" analogy comes from. He drops hints to other kids at school about how he's focusing on something new, but he never rings up NASL and says it's over. Which is why he's getting all the hate. I honestly don't know how you can defend his situation. He's shit all over the opportunity NASL gave him, and not had the decency to contact them. The fact that Geoff has a skype call with him on another show is totally irrelevant - Geoff isn't representing NASL on Inside the Game, and made no comment when PU started complaining about NASL not changing their schedule to accommodate him after he signed up to something new which conflicted with his prior NASL agreement. Geoff isn't obligated to seek him out outside of work hours to tell him to get his shit together, in fact it would be unprofessional of him to do so. The blame is 100% with PainBurger. | ||

Oh god, I was reading your comment seriously then read the last sentence and burst out laughing. | ||

Dude, that thing you did right there... is your assumption. We can't work with assumptions, and we don't have information from both of the parties, so we work with the next best thing, information from one of the parties. Information we got: NASL has been trying to contact PU for weeks, with no success. Partial conclusion: 100% Painuser's fault. I will reserve my final conclusion until I hear from PU himself, but things aren't looking so bright. And one more thing, you can't do that thing you just said, you just can't. I can't tell my employer "hey, I quit my job. Didn't you see me on the News yesterday? I told everyone so." That's fucking ridiculous. I MUST send a formal letter directly to them. God the amount of ignorance here is mind-blowing. Seriously do you people have a job? Can you pull these no-show moves in your job? Tell me I will frickin' throw away my IT job for that. | ||

I have heard and felt the same mentality before in jobs and various tournaments. You're missing the point. PainBurger is 0-7. No one is complaining because he gave up on the tournament (although some question why you would ever pass up an opportunity to play the Emperor, regardless of any other factors). People are angry because he didn't contact them to say as much, thus wasting the time of the entire NASL staff and ruining Boxer's night's sleep. | ||

I agree about the last sentence, and I'm disappointed as the next person, but to say NASL has been going out of there way to find out what is going on with Painuser is simply not the case. | ||

If PainUser has beef with NASL, I'm not going to hold it against him (although I have no reason to believe he does), but I do have a problem with fucking other players about. EDIT: The above said, I do disagree with you, and agree with Cloud above. The guy knows his shit. What about the fact that we were predicting today's game was going to be a walkover, I mean, us fans don't even get excited over the fact that Boxer MAY play anymore, because we're so used to InControl not following through with his promises: On June 02 2011 21:09 iNcontroL wrote: W/o should have been announced. We discussed it and it was supposed yo happen no idea why it didnt What a load of bullshit, he said they'd be announcing them at the beginning yet they just hope we forget about it. I for one regret spending 'a small price' (which isn't small at all compared to say GSL) on this tournament and will definitely not be buying next season, if there is another season. The fact that MGL took so many viewers just goes to show that when there is competition in the market the shittier product will suffer the consequences. | ||

Anybody that plans on boycotting IPL2 because of this needs to realize that we need to support IGN's tournament, regardless of the casters. If you want E-sports to grow and suceed, you need to keep moving forward. | ||

Let him try to become one of the better casters. Honestly, we do need them if we expect this sport to grow. A lot of people have made mistakes and come back stronger afterwards. Anybody that plans on boycotting IPL2 because of this needs to realize that we need to support IGN's tournament, regardless of the casters. If you want E-sports to grow and suceed, you need to keep moving forward. Good attitude. We need more quality analyst/ex-player casters. Too many random play-by-play casters who just jump on the SC2 bandwagon without really understanding the game. | ||

Have the dignity to at least represent yourself on a consistent basis. Hell, people don't talk about qxc's 0-whatever at IEM anymore. Damn, poor Boxer. | ||

Anyone with a chance at going through is all over it. In fact the finals part of NASL is going to be ridiculously stacked. Just look at these players (people with <= 2 losses taken from the standings page, so as at the start of this week, may have changed a little this week but it demonstrates my point) SeleCT Sen July Ret Squirtle Boxer Morrow Strelok KiWiKaKi Fenix Moon Zenio ACE IdrA NaDa Sheth SjoW White-Ra Who is the weakest link? Moon? Who else? This is going to be an epic finale. I think when it's played out, the early missteps and the walkovers will be long forgotten. | ||
