I guess the rumors about Painuser being a tool who stopped mid tourny for the last couple of weeks was true. Shame.

TLO got a tag in for Cloud? Nice.

If Painuser isn't called out on Inside the game, and if I don't like his answer, I won't watch the show anymore. Simple as that.

Ofc i'll still watch IPL2 though since that would hurt me more than it hurt him to miss

Wow Painuser at least tell them. Would have loved to see you against BoxeR =(
Next inside the game is sure going to be awkward lol.

iNcontroL was right to call PainUser out on this. It's extremely disrespectful to the league and the players. Along with the many top players who lost out on the opportunity to play in this league because he took up a spot. You don't see teams when they get relegated in the EPL not play anymore games because they can't stay up anymore. You play your games out and still try your best because it illegitimizes the league and is extremely unprofessional not to.

I missed it too but was able to get a perfect idea of what happened by reading the last few pages of this thread.

Basically:

PainUser hasn't showed up for his recent NASL matches, including the most recent match vs. BoxeR. Normally this would be okay, except for the fact that he hasn't made any attempt to contact NASL and let them know he won't be playing or that he has conflicts. All he's done is allude to not wanting to play anymore on a web show, but hasn't directly/officially contacted NASL. As a result, he's disappointed the viewers and the people running NASL, but more importantly he's inconvenienced The Emperor who was quite annoyed that he had to wake up at 3 AM and wait around for over an hour before they awarded him a walkover.

He hasn't shown for matches for 3 weeks. He didnt contact NASL about not showing. He has dodged all attempts for NASL to contact him. NASL has tryed emailing, calling, getting in touch with people he knows. Pretty much any way to get ahold of him to see wtf is up.
He pretty much disappeared, even though he was at mlg, and many other events. Hes even on inside the game.

Not only that but he is making Boxer, who goes out of his way to play from korea wait for hours, and still not show or give a reason why he didnt show.

Another reason people are pretty angry is the fact someone else could be in his spot actually competing and have a shot at the most prestigious tourny in NA.

I just read back a few pages, sorry guys.
That's a big shame from Painuser, especially when we catch him getting interviews at MLG. I wonder if incontrol stopped him and asked.

Thanks a lot!

It is a pretty dick thing for painuser to do, but out of what, 80 players, only one is doing this? The tourney is so long I'm surprised it isn't happening more. Obviously these players will not be invited back, but there should really be a backup plan of some sort. A player that is not in a division, who can play his share of games on short notice if someone is in danger of a walkover?

FYI, painuser has been a no show for the last three weeks, and no one from nasl can contact him. Boxer was up presumably at 3am to play his game and painuser is unreachable, so he was angry, understandably so.

Painuser is bad, Im happy that he is gone from the NASL now. Its really good news. Although its a shame that BoxeR got to stay up late and wait.

NASL will accommodate the players if they have good reason not to show up but only if they contact them before hand. PU just dodges, and has been doing so for 3 weeks straight which is highly disrespectful to NASL and other players.

No, it's a joke. ClouD used a build that was popularized and associated with TLO, the 6 rax all-in.

I don't understand him at all. Why wouldn't he just play it out? There is no shame in losing as long as you give it your best. This however is a shame and pathetic.

I really hope PainUser is dropped from all his casting assignments/shows and barred from any big future tournaments that aren't open registration. What a joke of a person.

Great day I really enjoyed you casting.
However I'm so disappointed by Painuser, I hope this has nothing to do with the fact that he is working for IGN.

So with the top 4 all winning, it means that Sen and Boxer have clinched top 2 and advance to the top 16, while Idra and Zenio clinch spots in the playoff round, yes? Pretty cool to see 3 Zergs moving on in this group.



No. If Idra wins, Boxer can not advance unless both Sen and Zenio lose. If Idra wins and Sen and Zenio wins (probably the more likely scenario), Sen and Zenio advance. Boxer advances if he wins.

Keep in mind that zenio is supposed to play painuser next week, so that will most likely be a W.O. as well, meaning Idra is kinda screwed either way


This being the case, Idra must be PISSED


I don't think Idra actually considered the possibility of PainUser winning against Zenio

PainUser.. worst behavior I have seen yet in SC2 (at least that I remember)

Yeah, it's really annoying. Especially this close to the playoffs. Fortunately liquipedia has been updating them semi regularly. Volunteers > NASL staff.

I'd like to see someone try to contact IGN and get Painuser off commentating. He has been completely unprofessional, and I think the majority of people would agree that his name is a Stain on the IPL.

---------

also can the NASL site update the standings? It's been a week, and not even the 8-1 matches are updated.

I think everyone would like to see the current status of the top 20, which is apparently the playoff cast.

Here's what has essentially happened with Painuser, he turned a lukewarm career in progaming into a paid gig casting for IGN. Look at the disintegration of Lazarus Gaming, that was kind of a joke in the first place, but what options did he have? Let's take a look:

1. Get on a new team, which involves showing this new team that you're worth it, which involves a lot of practice and hard work, all the while trying to support yourself by whatever means necessary (not fun)

2. Jump aboard the IGN money train and cast games/become a gaming "personality" (Tasteless, Artosis, Incontrol) which by no means is easy, but I think that we can all agree that playing at a high level is much harder to do.

3. Middle of the road, keep playing but start casting as well, probably not possible imo with the IGN gig, not enough time to really play well.

So which would you pick? Honestly... And yes he did this in the worst way possible by just giving NASL the cold shoulder, that was just flat out wrong, and he should be called out for it. Looking at the latest MLG the competition just got that much harder, IGN luckily (lol) has banned Koreans from their tourneys so far, so they're still safe for now, but the fans demand games of the highest level, so I don't think they can hold off forever before letting them play.
