Well said. Some pretty ignorant stuff being said in this thread. FXOpen is an Australian group iirc, what makes you think they will run the tournament at a European favoured time when the majority of players are Korean/US/Australian.

bad organized 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.

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...
No, it is rather hard to set up a time. Remember, it has to be an acceptable time for Australia, since it is a tournament from an Australian company, and then you have to accommodate for Korea, NA and Europe, which, as you know, is all across a lot of different timezones. It would have been very difficult to set up an acceptable time for everyone, it's not hard to see that.

I guess (i'm not absolutely sure about timezone) that if the tournament had started at 16:00 - 18:00 in Australia/South korea, then it would have started at 07:00-09:00 in Europe and 23:00-00:00 for central/east America, 01:00-02:00 in west america.
So of course west america has it bad, but 1). They have it less bad than Europeans starting at 03:00AM and 2). They are a minority compared to Europeans.

we typically time for US AUS/ASIA and KOR.. Europeans get the short end of the straw.... for now. Dont need further discussion on this matter.

People have the option of not playing in the tournament. Plus, as a professional gamer you always have time to adjust your sleeping pattern to fit the tournament time-zone better. Either by making sure you wake up at 2AM or stay up and go to bed at 8AM (or whenever the tournament finishes for the day).
If the players refused to play during those times they simply would've opted out of the tournament. No one is forcing anyone to play at a certain time because they don't have to play in this tournament if they don't want to. Crying on behalf of players who knowingly accepted the invite completely aware of the times is absolutely ridiculous. If anyone should be doing the crying it's the players, and even then it's absolutely ridiculous because they knew what they were getting into.

It would be great if you guys could upload the replays directly to http://challonge.com/fxopenis1
Challonge allows file uploads on every match and it will make specific replays much easier to find imo.

Uploading some of the replays from Day 1 and releasing them on twitter now! Unfortunately not many people sent them in, but Day 2 should see more replays!
http://twitter.com/#!/FXOpeneSports
Day 2 broadcast to start in about 1 hour! Check the TL stream list/calendar or the OP for the stream listing!

How long did the first day go for? 4-5 hours? If you start that for Australia, it will be about 11.00PM before it finishes. Unfortunatly, as it is an Australian tournament, it has to be optimal times for Australia, and not for other time zones. Same thing happens when you host a tournament in any other time zone.
