Alright so the deal is, im looking forward to this match and Id like to see it live, as live matches are so much more enjoyable what with being able to discuss the match as its happening, suspense and anticipation, etc. I dont like having to look up old games to watch, it just isnt nearly as good if i know that its already happened (even if i dont know the result yet)

That being said, it starts at 3:30am my time. Most likely I wont get to bed until 5 or 5:30 if i stay up for all the games. I am currently unemployed, so theres no issue of having to wake up early tomorrow, but the quality of sleep id be getting afterwards is pretty bad and ive been trying to kick the habit of staying up late all the time (due to things like this..urgh >_<). Id like to be able to feel energetic and able to workout tomorrow without wanting to fall asleep whenever i sit down. Unfortunately, i dont see any way to achieve both at once.

Advice TL?

JUST DO IT. I stay up pretty much every night and watch the games anyway. Tomorrow wake up around noon and then go workout and eat and you should be good to go for the rest of the day.

ima play the devil's advocate here

go on youtube and look up "kal vs effort set 1" and click on the one with the proper date.

just watch each match, and don't look at the comments :/

If you lived in a more convenient time zone, i would definetly recommend watching it live (as nobody has a clue what's going on, no chance of getting spoiled, the knowledge that they're playing it right now just gives a different feel); but sleeping in the wee hours fucks with a guy.

or if you're awesome, take powernaps the next day; just like 30-1 hour really freshens me up.

I went to school in New York, games are at 5:30, and I stayed up during finals week to watch games. You can do it. ^^;

ZvP has to be the easiest matchup in terms of winrate
i'd say zerg win around 54%. testifies to the balance of this wonderful game we all (hopefully) enjoy and love.

3:30am? I still watch it and it starts at 5:30am here, although I'll probably going to bed soon and set my alarm. Getting a nap in and setting your alarm sounds like a good idea though.
Nothing to it but to do it.

No but watch both finals?

It seems like you want to put the onus on someone else for your staying up late , haha. Of course TL is going to support you to watch it. We are enablers.

This. If you want to change your sleep schedule, do it. Don't make excuses. You'll be able to watch the games later. Discussing the games live may be fun, but the thread will still be there when you wake up.

Eastern Time zone FTW. I used to live in New Brunswick (The canadian province, not that place Americans seem to think it is) though which is in the Atlantic time zone, so I'd have to stay up till 6:30 :S :S :S

If you don't have work or school tomorrow like you say stay up to watch it. I really want to, but it starts at 2:30am my time and I have to wait up at 7:30am for school, so I would get like 1 hour of sleep >_>

I have a class exactly 30 minutes before the series begin and it lasts 90 minutes. So I will miss at least 2 games of the series
Should I skip this class or what?

If you are questioning it, even a little bit, then it obviously is not a mandatory class, therefore yes =]

I wish it would be 3:30am instead of 5:30am for me =(

I'd only be able to stay up until the start of the game and probably fall asleep during game 1. If I really wanted to watch the games at 5:30 I'd sleep for a couple of hours, watch the games, and go back to sleep after.

Just do it!! =D

Honestly, I think this match is going to be better than the finals. What will likely be a close series in one of my favorite match-ups versus some curb stomping action.
