Step 1: Accept new responsibilities
Step 2: Inform new employer of old responsibilities and explain you don't like walking out on you commitments. Add that these commitments only take a couple hours a week and are a one-time thing only.
Step 3a: Employer makes concessions for you
Step 4a: You don't look like an asshole.
Step 3b: Employer doesn't make concessions for you
Step 4b: Inform those affected of your dilemma and ask for understanding.
Step 5b: You don't look like an asshole.
Option A happens 90% of the time if you can state what dates and time you will be unavailable. Most people aren't actually assholes if you deal with them with respect. Respect involves valuing other peoples' time, not just your own.

Exactly. I can't imagine IGN would ever tell him he can't play his matches at work. I mean they don't have a problem with him doing ITG while he's at work.
It's going to take what... an hour a week? Just like ITG.

Even if you do go winless, its much better to atleast play the games and lose all of them, rather then quitting, bming by not notifying the league, and making a player wait for the match to occur. Painuser....I'm disappointed.

Lost to everyone but managed to wipe the floor with Incontrol 
Definitely did not hear about this while the big man was casting the NASL.... <wink wink>
While Painuser deserves the nerd rage directed at him, whats up with the stupid comments on boycotting IPL? What did IPL do to you?
Weirdos.
|
I'm definitely not going to boycott IPL 2, but I don't think I'll cry very much if Painuser gets "released"...
Even if it were not the Emperor we're talking about, even if it were just a random bronze player he had an appointment with, this is extremely unprofessional and reflects extremely poorly on Painuser as a human being.

Man, even as a lowly Platinum player, I would give a lot to play a Bo3 against Boxer. Can't understand the reason to avoid the games. I mean, a Bo3 isn't going to take more than an hour a week of your time. :/
|
I would just be so excited for a chance to play a BO3 with boxer... I wouldn't care if I was 0-8 or w/e.

If he does this again next week to Zenio I'm boycotting IPL. Without Boxer, PainUser wouldn't even have a gig at IGN.
I wouldn't go so far as to boycott, but I highly doubt I'll watch anything PainUser commentates for a long while.

Way to be a turd painuser. give up the game and do something else u honorless fck
|
It's just so hard to believe that NASL have tried to contact PU for three weeks without any response? Have they tried his cell, asking him on Bnet and Skype/mail, and he ignored all this?

The problems of a long individual competition are starting to show. Some players have practically nothing to play for anymore and they either simply drop or don't put in any effort anymore. As a result some players are getting free wins which influences the top standings. All of this can be solved really easily. Make the players themselves make a huge deposit, that they will get back unless they don't show up without good reason. Works in "real life" too...in fact, stipulating that someone has to pay huge sums in case of breach of contract is everyday's business. Don't like it? Don't participate. This with Painuser is probably a one-time-only occurence. Any player in a team who pulls of something like this, will definitely be kicked out of his team for doing that and Grubby would probably get into trouble with his sponsors. I have to admit that I didn't follow NASL that closely, but I thought there were numerous walkovers without any reason? What I meant is, even notifying NASL that you can't play shouldn't be acceptable - only things that should matter are dying/dead relatives, you yourself being sick etc. Basicly the stuff that also would excuse you from showing up to work. I think all the walk-overs had goods excuses so far. Like White-Ra had to forfeit his match because the Dreamhack didn't let him play. (it happened after Dreamhack and they wouldn't give him a computer to play on) That was against July and he had to wait all-night as well. Not very pleasant, he could've tried to notify the NASL and July, but still acceptable.
More like Dreamhack afterparty ^^

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.
IGN took a big gamble with season 2. Hopefully it will turn out good. No invites. Only top 3 from Season 3 and people who qualified through 4 qualifiers... People who got skill got in (big names with a decline in their skill didnt). Its either hit or miss with the viewers... But remember TSL 3 finals.
But this is NASL thread so back to topic.
Painuser become a blue collar worker. Asked NASL if he can change the hours of his matches. Got a big negative. Since he cant play from work he just didnt show. Simple as that.

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.
he's gonna make up some bullshit marginally believable excuse and people will take it because they don't really care or they jsut liek the guy. and they should care if they want esports to become a reality (no, all this growth we've got atm is a bubble, and there's miles and miles to go before esports becomes a reality)
no matter what happened to him, even if he was sick, doing this is impardonably immature and unprofessional. check grubby out, he didn't win anything, and he's still playing all his matches, that's what a professional gamer looks like.
people like him need to be trimmed out from any quality in esports quickly if things are to evolve into something serious. or we can keep supporting and accepting this kind of behavior when it occurs on grounds of likeability or disinterest and get stuck in the limbo of niche community plagued by lack of professionalism.
also, people who do place blame for this on the league proper have a point. NASL invited this man over many more dedicated and professional gamers to either meet their super rushed deadlines, or because he was a pretty recognizable figure in the US, or both, and all of these options are less than flattering to a league with pretentions of professionalism.
and in what sport or other starcraft league or tournament does a no-show at the start time of the match not get automatically dq and keeps the other competitor waiting for hours, that's inexcusable.
this move by PU, nasl on the whole being a moderate failure, and the fact that koreans destroyed MLG are all symptoms of the western community still taking esports as lightly as if it's supposed to still be the niche community of fans playing and casting each other casually as in bw, or playing the 5 tournaments per year of wc3, and running the joyride of sponsorships that the fans, the viewership at home, are bringing in since sc2's launch.
if people don't start practicing really seriously, organizing things properly with strong timetables and lines of communication, working on their formats to allow growth of new talent, and finding ways to punish this type of behavior displayed by PU very harshly, the bubble will burst eventually and we'll never, or significantly later, get esports to be where we dream it can be.

I predicted PainUser would at least show for Boxer. Boy I was wrong. Some people would pay to play a match with Boxer.

cloud and tlo played 2v1 vs sen and lost? according to the results on this board

Come on, even though you're completely out of contention the least you can do is play a Bo3. We're talking like 1-2 hours of your time. Doesn't even show for the Emperor himself. Really bm by PainUser.

Painuser is a bad player, another one of the morons who need to quit pretending they are SC2 pros and do something else.
