I'd say UTC (Or UT1). It's the international base you calculate everything else from. With UTC being the international standard all you have to know is whether your time zone is +/- x from UTC. It's just easier.

But I do live in that time zone so I'm not unbiased.

Mountain but it wasn't an option so I voted EST because I don't want to see the time in some crazy European time

Same here, US EST seems to make the most sense, plus that's where the new TL headquarters is located right? New York City?

TL time has been historically on KST time since that's where all the action was. With SC2, this is no longer the case and we're considering making some changes. While we have some good data about our registered users who have selected their time zone, the majority of TL visitors are guests so we don't have any information about them. The sidebar poll is usable by both guests and registered users, so we hope it will paint a clearer picture of what time zones our visitors are from.

This site should cater to those who actually take the time to register.

I represent WET (Western Europe Standard Time) also known as GMT. The best time zone to catch live MOST of the foreigner and korean events without having to mess up your sleep schedule

Whilst I'm currently residing within GMT, I voted for EST as I spend significant amounts of time both in Europe and on the East Coast. No matter where I'm currently located, EST is usually my 'go to' time when referring to international events and broadcasts, as I know it is for many other people.

Add to this the location of the new(ish) Team Liquid office, and the fact that EST is the closest relevant timezone to the centre point between the West Coast of the USA and Eastern Europe - a geographical window that a vast majority of Team Liquid's demographic hails from, and EST seems like the most logical timezone to use for a multitude of reasons.

I'm US Central but I'd prefer if we stayed on KST!
Teamliquid taught me a lot about time zones and conversions and I want to find somewhere (here) to use that skill effectively!

CET baby! I don't know why, but I'm going to be extremely proud of this for the next couple of minutes.

God I hope this doesn't become a habit.

Can't you just set your profile to whatever time zone you're in to have everything adjusted accordingly?

I'm CET but GMT/UTC would be the logical choice for TL.

CET here and I was always confused by the KST times. Never remember the difference.
GMT would be great, I think it would be the easiest compromise.

If it was possible for users to select their timezones and have relevant timestamps displayed for those users it would be great. GMT, btw.

KST. I don't see the issue here. Any registered user gets time in their selected zone. Any guest has the current time KST on the top of every page and their own zone's time readily available to them via PC, watch, phone, clock etc. Why do people need TL to tell them what time it is where they are?

Also, maintaining KST good in any case. If SC2 events are all over the world, there's no central time for SC2. Virtually all BW events are in Korea, and they are televised regularly. There is still a central place for ESPORTS in general.

Finally, I think it's a little misleading to have the poll say one thing and, in a practical sense, mean another altogether. Why not have a poll that says 'what time zone do you want the TL clock on' and base any changes on what people actually think about the issue at hand.

It was stupid from me to vote before I know what's actually going on. I'd gladly take back my CET vote and put it on KST. I think it shouldn't be changed. Thanks.
