Most awkward timing ever for a finals especially the big one. Rooting for VG cause of rOtK's passion.

super has been great at TI though, especially compared to how mediocre he was pre-TI

I want ROTK win to take him the gold so that Burning will feel somewhat at ease, plus ROTK (or Raging Omnipotent Throwing King in my head) is one of my favorite players for his aggressive almost feeder like style.

However, a good chunk of Newbee's squad got royally screwed by the fountain hook bullshit that occurred last year. 100% outplaying Na'vi and got fucked by invisible hooks. Either way, I see a fairly close game, with alot of teamfighting and clashing early on.

Timing is awful for American viewers, but I suppose they'll be able to secure a large draw of Europeans, Russians and Asians so it may actually boost viewer numbers? Were the Grand Finals always held on a separate day? I don't remember that from previous TIs.

we don't. however, we do know the main show starts at 9am. there's a preshow/pre-match conference. the day is also projected to end about 5pm. 11am~ish seems to be a good estimate of starting time i guess.
