Anyways, can you get him to ask Terran players what they are doing on maps such as TDA in TvZ? How comfortable they fell, etc, and also about the Infestor in TvZ. If you mean questions about their play in MLG, then I've got no idea. | ||

EDIT: Didn't watch the stream so I didn't realize there was a no-show / boxer forced to wait for hours issue. Too bad, assumed there was a more transparent communication with nasl. Oh about NASL, on djwheat's show taylor said he now has a fulltime job with IGN and that NASL won't let him reschedule his matches to be outside of work hours. Seems pretty reasonable to me, don't see why he would "owe" anyone anything. Its pretty obv he hasnt had the time to play/prepare anyway. | ||

When you go into a tournament you know all the details before hand and agree to it. He should just tell the NASL he wants to pullout and be done with it instead of beating around the bush. | ||

So NASL was forced to make Boxer wake up at 3am, and sit there and wait until the waiting grace period is over. Boxer got upset about it as well and rightfully so. | ||

At the very least it would give his opponent a confirmation so that the poor Koreans don't have to wake up at 3am and sit in front of their computer waiting an hour for a no show. Its pretty easy to tell the Koreans that PainUser has basically withdrawn from NASL so they don't have to wake up. | ||

I really thought he would play Boxer because he spoke so highly of the guy, and that is quite the experience of a lifetime... to play an actual competitive game against Boxer, but not only did he pass on it (his choice) but he made Boxer wake up and wait... that's just disrespectful. | ||

In the real world, not burning bridges and maintaining professionalism goes a long way. Of course some people go overboard with "OMG crucify him!" but I don't see how hard it is to pick up the phone or hell even text NASL that you are not going to show up anymore as to not waste everyones time. NASL mentioned they have tried to contact him and those that know him to find out what's going on yet no response from him ( at least from tonight's NASL show). | ||

PainUser has to communicate it to them. --Ok, you're bowing out. That sucks, but at least we can notify your opponents.-- Instead, he doesn't communicate at all so his opponents still have to show in case he decides to play. You can't speak for someone unless they have communicated what they want said. | ||

He's basically dodging the responsibilities that he signed up for when he joined the league and doesn't have the decency to admit it. In not admitting it, he has caused even more problems for the NASL league as a whole, and more specifically, for his opponents who could be doing other things with than time than waiting around for a no-show. | ||

According to Incontrol, Painuser: 1. Did not show up for 3 (THREE) straight weeks 2. Has not communicated the nasl about his no-shows 3. Has ignored all attempts in nasl's part to get on hold of him (calls, e-mails, RL people) Tell me, what kind of professional environment allows for such atrocities? You guys saying it's no big deal, again I tell you, I dare you pull these off without being fined/sued/fired on the spot. This is completely unacceptable no matter what your job is. If you still think that's no big deal, I dare you to get a job. | ||

It's also different when WhiteRa intends on continuing to compete, and isn't withdrawing but not admitting to it. Honestly I don't think this whole thing is a big deal though, but like I said earlier I think it is just disrespectful to the league and to the players he has had wait for him when he knew he wouldn't show up. | ||

Its not JP/Day9/Wheat's responsibility to contact players to show up for MLG, why should it be Incontrol's responsibility when it comes to NASL? The best Incontrol can do is tell the NASL higher ups that Painuser is being a flake and thinking of quitting, you should get an official statement from him as to whether or not to continue. | ||

Dude, when Sheth didn't show up to MLG's last year it got spoken about constantly on Wheat and JPs talk shows. Bad example Seriously though, if IdrA said to JP on SOTG that he isn't going to turn up to MLG, I'm pretty sure JP would follow it up. | ||

JP would follow it up, just like (I would image) Incontrol would also follow it up. My argument is, that it is not up to Incontrol to decide the final rulings or liaise with individual players prior to their matches. They have other people to do that, and from what has been publicly available, they've done their best efforts to reach out to him. You can't expect an organisation to use a recording of a skype conversation with one of their broadcasters as an official statement by a player of their withdrawal from the tournament. | ||

He obviously has pulled out of NASL, buts it none of our business and should be kept between two parties. Just because NASL makes it public doesn't mean it should be, they should have had stricter rules on the issue in the first place to prevent people from dipping out after they have obviously already been eliminated. Throwing insults around at random people on the internet is pretty nonprofessional to. Oh, I thought posting here was not my job, guess I was mistaken. My profissionalism is needed here too. My bad. Read my original post, it is far from "crucifying" him. I want him to explain himself and hold him accountable, because nasl and I are on a contract, saying "I pay you money, you deliver SC2 content", and I believe Painuser and nasl are on a contract, saying "You play for us, we pay you according to your performance". See how I'm in a position to demand some explanation? Is that asking too much? Didn't think so. Anything else you want to make a rebuttal? Like, important things, not silly things like how I call a few people "clueless teenagers"? | ||

I did enjoy the Naniwa interview a lot, but not enough for him to enter the polite debacle of further attention from new community members. You're too extroverted imho. Good effort Painuser and I appreciate the motivation to include their expression and feedback, but please leave the players alone. | ||
