Fifteen hours, omg. I guess we Europeans will miss most of the fun discussions here in the forum. I was looking forward to today, since it's a day off, but I guess I will be watching a stupid rebroadcast on Sunday. Thanks MLG.

first time ive been off college for an MLG so pretty excited that i can comfortably watch through the whole of Sunday, MLG is quickly becoming my favorite thing and will surpass dreamhack for me if this is as good as Columbus

Due to a misstake with the starting time, i guess MLG just lost about 10-15k viewers from EU who is simply not able to pull out 3 allnighters.

Ive been looking forward to this for so long, and ive just taken for granted it started 19:10 CEST since TL said it would - and now im not able to watch.

Weekend is ruined.

Sure, most is able to stay up and watch the first few games, but we will miss most of the event. Also small delays which always occur on LAN events is so much more painfull early in the morning rather than the evening.

I just simply feel from a business perspective there is alot of money loss both due to Ads/commercial and HD pass sales.

Im sure there is some that will pull out 3 allnighters and buy the HD pass, but im quite certain 90% of EU wont.

Damn I don't mind staying up late but if it starts at 2 AM there's no way I can watch it. I guess i'll try and get up early and hope that it's not over yet.

Aw damnit, I was really looking forward to watching this but I can't justify staying up all night, I'm seeing a friend tomorrow afternoon so I can't catch up sleepwise if I watch the whole thing... TT

Guess I'll have to go to bed early if I want to see anything at all.

Can we get some insight into the reasoning behind the much later start time? I'm sure this will really impact the amount of viewers you get from the EU

It's pretty simple...
Event starts on Friday at 17:00 (their time).
People start coming out of work in Anaheim, People are still traveling, and so on
The next 2 days they start at 11:00, which is pretty early.
It sucks for us Europeans but we can't really blame time difference on MLG.
