Because there probably are more Koreans watching than bulgarians.. If that time suits the koreans better we just have to adapt... Simple as
God help him if he complains about waking up at 7am just like everyone else in this world. And btw the timing is better for Americans, which make up the majority of foreign viewers.

4 base v 2 base
wrong, nestea's fourth base was empty for most of the game

Macro mistake by Nestea not getting the extra hatches he needed to support such an early 4 base cost him the game. I am curious how it would have played out if he had been able to spend all of his money, though; you don't often see 4 base full power.
Wow, I didn't realize that Nestea had banked so much. If so, it seems he doesn't really have much of an excuse for being behind on upgrades and/or low on units!
the most important part of that game was the fact that if you get 4 bases you can get enough minerals to build a rocket ship out of "there"
but on a serious note, why didn't nestea just use a few mutas to harass mvps mineral line? i mean, yes, mvp probably had a few turrets but nestea had a SHITLOAD of mutas.

Considering they just had to move everyone forward so they could add more seats.... No, wtf are you basing that on?
Awesome ty for posting that.
Yeah thanks
I guess it's just the camera angles that I think there are so little people there. Fan fucking tastic news that it is packed. How many people are there, if anyone knows?
Nestea's defense of that push wasn't all that great. Everything leading up to it was perfect though. He left so many marines at his mineral line instead of cleaning them up. And got a bit too eager to go for the counter in his main with his lings/mutas. I don't know though normally you'd do that just to do a little push/scout. But I think he should've killed all those marines at his main first and morphed a ton of banelings at his base. That push seemed a bit all inish because of the really late third. Didn't catch how many rax MVP had. But knowing he was up 2 bases, he could've been a little more safe and focused on a starving strategy.
Also, 2/2 marines are just impossible to kill in a small choke. It takes a ridiculous amount of zerglings. So maybe Nestea should have went around and sacced his main to go for a base trade as Artosis pointed out. But it's an impossible decision to make in the heat of the moment during a semi final match vs the best terran in the world.
In the end it was the fact that he ineffectively saced half his army on tanks. I think he was like OMG I WON LOLZ and went in for hte kill, but because the rally was at the rocks (the terran's own killed rocks)
