Several players have missed games they shouldn't have, but Painuser is by far the worst of them. It's really sad that a few scenarios are being determined or at the least influenced by no show walkovers. This hurts the competition. It's down to a lack of professionalism. That said, seeing what has happened, NASL will need to make adjustments to allow for a lack of professionalism with scheduling. There are several players that haven't taken this competition seriously enough as far as I'm concerned, including some surprising, high profile names. This shows a lot of disrespect to all their fellow competitors. Any player can accept missing out on spots/qualification etc. due to their own play, but due to someone else not bothering to schedule a game, or worse yet just ignoring one? That's just unacceptable. I know each and every player would have an excuse as to why they couldn't make it, but it shouldn't be unexpected, and it has been. | ||

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. Think of it like Lebron James's move to Miami. It was a dick move, sure, but understandable. The method of going through with the decision (Lebron's stupid 1 hour special, PainUser just dodging NASL) is what fuels such vitriol. | ||

IMHO Painuser should be banned from SC2 tournaments for a while. You do NOT BM your opponent by not even letting him know you've left, ESPECIALLY if he's halfway around the world, in a completely different timezone, waiting for you, and after having prepared so damn much. You do NOT BM the tournament, because you agreed to play there and should at least have the decency to let them know, after ALL the trouble they had organizing all that crap. And lastly, and most importantly... YOU DO NOT BM BOXER. NEVER. HE CREATED ESPORTS. Painuser might never have been able to compete in such a big and important SC2 tournament had Boxer never existed and Esports never took off. I'm amazed at the gall of this fool. I don't care about how good he is, this is just downright disrespectful to EVERYONE, and how the f***, how dare he stand up BOXER waiting for HIM. | ||

If you didn't, here's a summary. -BoxeR gets 2-0 W.O over Painuser. -Painuser forfeits his place in NASL without even officially notifying them. (I guess an automatic forfeit since they've had no contact?) -NASL hints (I assume by the casters) that this will affect his possible future NASL participations. -BoxeR had to stay up through the night because of Painuser not notifying him or NASL of his absence. (arguably the worst transgression! :S) last week on inside the game he announced he was retiring from competitive play. im sure he doesnt care that the nasl wont let him compete anymore  On June 07 2011 05:47 Wesso wrote: PainUser.. worst behavior I have seen yet in SC2 (at least that I remember) clearly youve never seen someone play against combat ex | ||

He really doesn't deserve any respect or acknowledgement from the community whatsoever, and any web shows should drop him immediately. Unprofessionalism at its worst. | ||

PainUser should be banned from TL and the TL community should put some pressure on the IPL to cancel their casting contract with him. What a disgrace. Whole-heartedly agree. Painuser is acting like a 12 year-old child. It's absolutely pathetic. People/sponsors should set an example for other would-be unprofessional acts and give this guy a harsh lesson. | ||
