I don't think Ace will have any trouble getting 5 players together for this match, unless something unexpected happens, and Courage have always been active, so I imagine you wouldn't have any problems either, or am I wrong?
In the case of DeSPA and the third place match, you could be wrong. We've had trouble even getting 3 or 4 to matches.
Maybe leave the third-place match at Bo7 and the grand finals at Bo9? I mean, as much as others might wanna watch a Bo9 series, it's also a matter of can that many players even show up, and that should be decided amongst the teams themselves, like LMaster said...

Plus its always nice to have the Finals more BOX than than the third place Final.

Yeah, making the finals have more games than the third-place game is more appropriate, yeah.
I think we should keep in mind TLS and SBWI Nation Wars casts will be at 21 and 20 : 30 CET this saturday. In that case, delaying the final after third place and casting live is not a good idea in my opinion.
Is it possible for NW Power and DeSPA to play at 16:00 GMT (+00:00)? So we only would need about to start the Grand Finals at 18:00 GMT (+00:00)?
I know that there will be TLS and SBWI Nation War coming up, but I wanna have the finals casted live and our dear caster-friend sGs.LMaster agreed to cast it live. But he is part of DeSPA and thus wants/needs to play the third place match. Maybe we can prepone the whole third place match to Friday 17:00 GMT (+00:00) and start with the grand finals on saturday at 16:00 GMT (+00:00)?

L_Master's hosting it, with support from myself and CobaltBlu. I believe we're starting mid-February? L_Master has the details on the dates, I believe. It won't be allkill format.
Correct. It will be standard format again. All-kill format is awesome once in a while but it's not nearly as good for giving new players a chance to play, which is really what this league is about.
DRIT will start shortly after All-Kill league finishes, and DRTL will start around the time of DRIT semis. Probably mid January for the start of DRIT, and mid-Feb for start of DRTL.
Most probably its gonna be played on standard time and no livecast, but just immidiate replaycast. But if DeSPA is fine with playing friday I am fine with it too^^
So are the Finals still going to be Bo9 even though Echo has told you several times there is an extremely high possibility that Courage won't be able to get 5 people on Saturday?

Don't worry. Courage won't need 9 games. I'd say, 6 games to claim the crown?
