For anyone wondering about the two missing lower bracket spots:

dignitasSjoW and dignitasNaNiwa will play tomorrow, since it was like 6am for them when they had to play, FXOFilthy will also face Naugrim tomorrow.

of course there was a problem when you let the europeans play at 3 am, how should they play at that time without losing concentration??
bad organized

It really feels like the Glade just wore Goody down. Close positions Metalopolis was an incredibly long game and Glade never quite seemed down and out and after it he maintained his edge while Goody probably felt pressured and tired, and wanted to end the games quickly as we saw in Games 2 and 3.

Really unfortunate that the psychological aspect got to Goody, but that's Starcraft and god knows Day9 has talked about this more than often. <3 Glade, please win against Destination!

Its probably more the time (was it 5 or 6 am) than some "psychological aspect" that wore him down.
He just could not play his usual turtle style due to time and had to try to end it quickly.

I'm sorry, is there a better way to host a world-wide tournament? Please, enlighten us.

1. The tournament has players from EVERY region of the world, no time is perfect
2. The players would have been well aware of t he time of the tournament when accepting invites
3. The tournament ran smoothly with a ton of streams in different languages and non stop games being played of the highest quality

A tournament with a player pool this diverse was always going to have a chunk of no-shows for various reasons, these were made worse by the Prime team manager misreading AM and PM but it was definitely not "bad organized" and I challenge you to come up with a better time to run a multi national tournament

I have nothing to do with FXO but I have the utmost respect for people putting on these huge big money tournaments and attracting the best talent from around the world for us to watch for free, if there was actually anything worth complaining about I would be right there with you but this just seems like whining for the sake of whining.

Lol you are an idiot badmouthing the organizer like that. So far everybody has said the tourney was organized greatly.
The time this tournament is related to the fact that it has players from all over the globe, what does that have to do with organisation?
Yeah it sucks for Europeans, put if they cant play at that time they should not have accepted invites in the first place.

Obviously one of the four main timezones is going to get the short straw, it is too bad and cannot be avoided.

Yeah, I don't see this guy complaining that all the go4sc/zotac/tl opens start at midnight in Australia, they must all be bad organized right!

There is always going to be someone upset. Our players have to tolerate TSL timezones, and do not complain about it. They play at 4am and other weird times for that tournament. Its part of being a pro gamer..

It is not hard to set yourself up to have enough sleep for such a tournament time. It just takes discipline.

We haven't uploaded many as of yet, but all of the replays will be available for download at the conclusion of the tournament (assuming everyone sent their replays).

www.twitter.com/fxopenesports has links to maybe 6 or 7 of todays games.

To the question, "is there a perfect timing to play a worldwide tournament" the answer is no.

To the question, is there a better timing than this, for instance not including the largest group of players, or any other large group of players, having to play from 03:00 to 06:30, I'm sorry but the answer is undoubtebly yes.

Great tournament overall, but don't try to obscure a real issue which semt obvious for quite a lot of European players...

Pleasantly surprised to see both Lalush and DarkCell making it so far in the upper bracket, though I think the winner of Mana vs Hero will probably come out on top there. STC vs SeleCT rematch is a mouth watering prospect if J or OptikZero don't conjure up an unpset =)

Also go Sheth, he always puts in good performances at the fxo's heh

---

Euro fans could do with stopping and thinking about what time an Australian tournament is likely to run at, particularly given the fact it has a truly global scope where one of the key points to how awesome it is, is that they are able to have top name Korean players involved.

If you're a progamer, and you wish to participate in a tourament like this you adjust for it; either sleep early and set an alarm, or adjust your sleeping schedule steadily a few days in advance so you are wide awake when the tournament comes around. It's not like most of the top eu guys are otherwise employed to have to worry about adjusting their sleeping hours for gaming.
