What an amazing finish to the season, which is arguably the best one yet. The last 2 days have probably been the best times I've ever had watching BW.
A short break is welcomed but I can hardly wait for BSL 15 with the new tournament format. As more and more participants are able to join by expanding into 64 slots, this should create even more excitement.
Competition time is a great challenge for both Chinese players and Chinese spectators。 To be honest, the game process from 2:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. was so difficult that I went to bed when I saw 3-3 in the game, because I had to get up and get ready at 7 a.m。
Sanpao broadcast the BSL final live for the first time yesterday. Finally, some people heard about BSL for the first time. When they saw that BSL needed sponsorship, they immediately sponsored BSL. If the competition time is suitable for Chinese audiences, many people will be happy to sponsor BSL. At present, only the semi-finals or finals will be broadcast live.

Its very difficult to find a timeslot that is both suitable to Europe and China viewership and players. I think it would be great if there could be a timeslot that is good for both, but the difference in timezones is so extreme there really is no middlegrounds possible sadly. It would be GLORIOUS if it was possible tho.

Two time zones are fine. If the broadcast started at around 13:00 CET that would be 19:00 in China which is fine for viewers in both time zones I think, but NA/SA would have to get up really early (7:00 East coast and 4:00 West coast). That's where problems start, it's pretty much impossible to schedule in a way that's great for all 3 regions.
And on topic: yet another awesome season of BSL! The games from Ro4 on were amazing for sure and finally Sziky got a medal! Looking forward to next season!
Have two BSL broadcast sessions for this upcoming season. One for the regular timeslot and one at 12:00/13:00 CET that would make it watchable for China/Korea and US (since it's the weekend already).
Obviously handpicking the groups for the earlier session of course. I think this could raise awareness of BSL in other timezones and would work well too given that the tournament will be larger now.
Perhaps introduce that kind of schedule on a trial basis for the first few Sundays only.
It can be considered that some weekend competitions will be arranged at 2:00 p.m. in Europe and 9:00 p.m. in China. There are still a lot of spectators in China. If more spectators in China know BSL, i believe that there can be a lot more sponsors, the bonus amount of BSL can be increased a lot, and a lot of bonus increase is conducive to more exciting game.
