Considering he was approached and did discuss prior to the events being announced (his words), yes I do believe he is in a position of power and responsibility, and he didn't act accordingly.

If Dox was told about a huge competition that had $50k first place and it was on the WCS finals date, and didn't either a) attempt to convince them to reschedule or b) advise those running the WCS - I would see him in fault in THE EXACT SAME WAY.

If Nirvana misspoke when he said he discussed with both of these event organisers prior to their announcements, then it wouldn't be a big deal - but he has personally said he spoke with both of these last two conflicting event organisers and the person(s) who needed to know (Dox, ACL) was left out of the loop both times.

I feel that someone in a leadership role in the community has a responsibility to prevent this from happening, then they can. If they don't have time - all they need to do is inform or even redirect the query to someone else. Simply guessing is not good enough (imo)

This quote is about as relevant as me calling your skill in SC2 in question

As much as it is in me calling your skill in any other non-SC2 game in question? Silly insult there...
My quote is entirely relevant as it demonstrates the consequences of making these mistakes.
