First off, get in contact with him, he better have a good reason OR ; Give him a permenant warning or a ban from the next NASL. People need to realize: PAINburger TOOK SOMEONE ELSES SPOT. If it had not been PainUser there, someone else would have had the chance to compete and win 50 000$. To be given this chance and then to shit on the competition and your co-competitors is inexuisable if you don't warn anyone in advance, that's just bullshit attitude and had I been Geoff I'd had a godamn rant about how this is just pure shit from PainUser and an insult not only to the tournament but everyone in it and most of all everyone who didn't get a chance to be in it. | ||

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. I think the LAN tournament is going to really great, but I think they should look at a way of adjusting the format so that there are less walkovers, and they have more excitement and momentum going into the finals. I don't know the best way to that, but there has to be a way. | ||

It's the attitude of a small set of people which leads to these bad situations. Now NASL will have to take a less idealistic view on their players and might have to think about possibilities about punishing bad behavior or making a difference in a 8th and 9th spot. Players like qxc who keep fighting show real spirit. | ||

When he accepted his invite into the league, he committed to showing up for every match, every week. If there was going to be any problems for a given week, it is his responsibility to notify them (I'm sure all players were given very specific instructions on how to do this given every other player has done so). The notion that players are not given notice is absurd. They have already stated that they send everyone an email every week reminding them of their schedule. Beyond that, they do everything to get a hold of you on the day of your game if you have somehow forgotten. Geoff somehow taking any of the blame because he is on a show with PU is silly. Do you really think it is Geoff's responsibility to get the scoop on every player every week? The guy is the caster...clearly that logistical stuff is someone else's responsibility. He's probably not even privy to the vast majority of the behind the scenes stuff going on unless it becomes his job to inform people on the stream. Three weeks. There is no excuse that would be good enough. There is no need to hear PU's side of the story other than curiosity. He made a commitment to the league, the fans and the other players from the start to see the tournament through and he didn't fulfill that. If that wasn't bad enough, he didn't even show them the slightest bit of respect in informing them of his choice. Those trying to defend PU or spread the blame must have some seriously questionable ethics/morals going on. | ||

NASL's system is also inherently flawed in that if you know you have NO chance in qualifying (such as in the case of painuser) for the finals there is no reason to play unless you're just trying to knock a specific player further down to help someone else. Having a full round robin in the cast of MLG is very important because every game matters even if you lose the first 3 of 5 matches because someone might go 0-5 or 1-4 and then you find yourself ahead of them. Hopefully we get some revamp of their setup. I am also finding myself less and less interested in the weeks now that I know certain players have no chance. For this I just watched the IdrA and Zenio matches because of this. When there is so much content going on having matches that actually matter is important otherwise people might as well just watch some livestream for $0 | ||

As far as I'm concerned, if he got hit by a truck tomorrow I won't care nor shed a tear and neither should you. PainUser has just demonstrated how worthless he is. | ||

I disagree, Every other sport is like that. If players/teams stop playing in the regular season of NBA/NHL right at the point where they realize they have no chance of advancing into the playoff, the whole league will fall apart. But this doesn't happen simply because the players and the teams have sportsmanship, care about their reputation, as well as following through with their contracts. | ||

Painuser is giving free wins to Boxer and Zenio these last 2 weeks, who are fighting with Idra and Sen for top 2 spots. | ||

The key difference is that NBA/NHL players get paid, even if they lose, by their teams for participating. Now we know one of the reasons why the NASL demands players be part of teams to participate ... there needs to be something holding them accountable other than the NASL. | ||

I like how TLO steps in for Cloud vs Mana according to the OP  EDIT: Oh and just read up on the Painuser thingie, pretty BM to do that to the Emperor of all people. Who would not want to play Boxer just for having done so? | ||

They've probably already recorded the next weeks games id imagine. lost ALL respect for painuser. Fair enough his record wasnt good, but you can still play the game or at least notify NASL | ||

Saddest thing there is: this won't even hit him that much. Personally, I'll definitely boycott all of his casting because of this. (he's trying to get into casting, as I understand) | ||
