The difference is that, these players missing the events due to circumstances out of their control. And it would be the first time, or 2nd time if that happened. Meanwhile MaxPax has showed repeatedly that he wont play in the offline tournaments, I believe repeated "offenders" normally got treated differently in general public?

It might be out of control for MaxPax aswell. We just say "he doesn't want to go", but maybe he really just can't go. I refer for that to the case of Space in WC3 I mentioned earlier, someone who was really not able to travel because of illness/handicap.
So what, ESL should write in their contracts "you can't compete in this tournament that literally is the backbone of this game if you are too crippled to travel to the finals, fuckoff"?
At this point, I think it is fairly save to say that MaxPax doesn't just "don't want to show up". No one passes up this much money (at this point we are talking probably like around a million of potential Prizepools he has missed out on?) because they are a little shy. So if it is a medical condition in any shape or form, you can hardly exclude him playing from a tournament that functions perfecly fine on its own.
