This is obviously a promotional ploy, but maybe painuser will start playing well again, but I doubt it with his time restraints

To be a successful team you need to market yourself well and have really good players. We are confident these two fulfill both roles very nice in due time.

What happened with Painuser not having the time to mass play with his new job? Didn't he quit a whole bunch of games in the NASL because of it? Guess he was lying. Frankly, i can't understand how you could support such a "pro"gamer.

For the record HD was with LG. He doesn't play, so I guess he's more like a Torch thing, media and shit.


A d.Apollo or FXO.Wolf.

HD is good enough to be the bottom rung of the B-teamers I think. He is looking to improve, but I doubt it with all his commitments now. But if WhiteRa can managed his family + a full time job... why not?

Commenting on situations that we don't truly understand is pretty irresponsible. Painuser is a great guy, driven, and very passionate about SC2. In regards to NASL it is pretty clear, the matches were scheduled during his work hours, NASL doesn't allow reschedules, and I don't know many jobs you can play SC2 at, I sure can't. So it's either play 8 games over 8 weeks or have a job and support your living. Easy choice IMHO.

But let's look forward not backwards ^^ that's the true story of this thread.

Can we call him AinUser from now on? Seriously though, congrats to both. Glad to see Painuser picked up. I love listing to him talk about SC2 and would like to see him doing better int tourneys as well.

Hey thanks guys! I'm looking to get back into competitive play, although I just played some ladder last night and I couldn't believe how much tougher the field has gotten in masters. Either that or my game has really fallen :p

Either way, I'll be putting in work.

interesting additions but for popularity of these 2 it is a good marketing move, grats to both of them.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I dunno man I would just ask to be removed from tournament if I couldn't meet the commitment rather than being walked over so much people got bothered by it. Oh well you live and you learn.

You might as well stay in it.....removing yourself would be more detrimental to the seeding etc becuase some people would have gotten free wins and others wouldn't. And then you would have an odd number of players etc. It makes no sense to be removed from either point of view.

But there is no reason to dwell on the past, let's look forward and towards the future.

All over. But you cannot deny the bay area has a lot of talent so a lot of players do come from there. We have members in northern cal, southern cal, florida, maine, Quebec, Vancouver, chile, etc
