Not much earlier...central/mountain is 2 hours different. The point is that we have to stay up hella late for GSL much the same way you have to stay up hella late for us.

If it's that upsetting to you just pay 10 dollars and watch the VODs; I pay 20 dollars every season to not watch GSL at ungodly hours.
Think the real "problem" is that Anaheim time is worse than eastern time. When MLG is on the eastcoast yes we miss some late games. But most games on saturday is on good times, and actually allmost all of sunday is fine. Think the Colombus finals ended like 3 AM which isn't that bad(Colombus was eastern time right?).
But it's a moot problem that can't be done anything about. Only thing that can be done is if Mr. Obama stopped talking about some stupid loans and got a law through making US 1 timezone, call it DC Time and make it eastern time. Then stream time is fine for us EU people

after all, if china can be on 1 timezone, why can't the US? for that matter, why not the whole world?

I, for one, am glad that for once I get to watch stuff on my timezone and don't have to wake up early or stay up late.

Wow, sounds like GSL for NA. Or Dreamhack for that matter. It runs from 2:30 AM to I believe 9:30 AM central European time. I think it's cute that you're trying to downplay it by going "see, we have to do it too!!", but not only are you grossly off the mark with the Dreamhack times, GSL only runs for about three to four hours instead of 7 to 12.
I think you don't realize Dreamhack times. For me Summer Dreamhack started at 3 am and the last match started at 3 pm. The second day started at 3 am and the Grand Final started at 11:30 am. So no, I really don't think I'm grossly off the mark at all.
You can check it yourself here. For my timezone look at the "EDT" column and subtract one hour.
Forgive me that I'm not exactly the most sympathetic of your plight.

I`m sorry if somebody already came up with this topic but there really wont be any replays (and vods ofc if u dont pay) about anaheim? It just really sucks for Europeans

I know American timezones, but if you don't see why 3 am to 3 pm, or even 3 am to 11:30 am, beats 3 am to 9 am, or 9 pm to 9 am, I can't help but think you aren't willing to understand, rather than being incapable. the difference is, the finals are on excellent timeslots for you.

Its always funny to see the europeans whine about the tournament times in NA. Dreamhack was at a terrible time. I'm on the west coast and it was running at the same time as gsl. Dreamhack just went longer into the morning than gsl does so when I would wake up I would see the end of the day.
No matter when the event is held, it is going to screw over certain timezones. You have to cater your target audience and hold the event at a good time to be played and watched in person. Dreamhack caters to europens, gsl caters to koreans, mlg caters to americans.

Are we really fighting about time zones? I'm in England, and therefore MLG times are shite for me. However, GSL comes at a peach time for me, I get a nice lie then wake up to GSL in bed. What goes around comes around. Quite whining.
