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. KST is just being represented by 1% of the visitors. Thats all i need to say | ||

Changing for KST was a very good idea and i don't think there is any reason to question this for now. | ||

 I like KST time although being able to change it to what ever time you are in would probably be the best thing I guess.. | ||

Apart from just liking it because its "unique" or "tradition" I think the fact that just about 1% of the user have KST as their regular time is actually a plus. The european time zones (CET and GMT) make about 40% at the moment so it would make the most sense to switch to one of those (probably CET) but I can see a lot of the NA users not beeing pleased with this (i could see europeans be pissed if it would be the other way round I am not bashing people from the US). So keeping it on KST may be a bit inconvenient but its at least equally inconvenient for all of us. If you add that to the historical context of TL beeing using KST I think they should leave things as they are. | ||

If you saying the EU time makes up 40 percent then Ill say the NA time makes up 47 percent, dont forget we have East, Central, and Pacific times. My way to solve the problem would be to put both US eastern time, and EU CET time. Im actually in Central but it makes sense for it to be east since thats all most times are given anyway | ||

NZST here as well, but I'm pretty happy using Korean Time. I've gotten used to converting to Korean time, because Proleague/OSL/MSL used it and GSL uses it now. | ||

Then again, if it should be changed, obviously the UTC time zone is the only thing that makes sense, since it's the universal time zone. I would then suggest that some function is added to the site so that you can change all timestamps to localize with your own settings on your profile, and keep UTC+0 as the official time. | ||

Then again, (young) europeans incl. myself generally have a decent 'feel' for US time, as in, I can reasonably estimate what time it is in NY without much trouble. I'm guessing most young, tech-savy americans can estimate european time reasonably well too. However, when it comes to Korean time I am completely at a loss and I end up constantly googling the time in seoul or hovering over the gomtv countdown. I seriously doubt I'm the only one ;p. I'd say a change to either eastern US or CET would benefit both european and american visitors, once they get over the shock of 'loosing' this very very important issue ;p. | ||
