MLG should schedule better? Or is it only me that think 02.30 - 07.30 CEST is the worst time you could ever have put it on, and not only that but wrapping up so late for the players isnt that appreciated? Does anyone know why they have done this (any statement or etc.)? Did they do it because they dont like having many watching the streams so they dont get more money via ads? Or did they only do it beacuase the americans could get finish with work/school (but I mean they are mostlygamers fulltime)?

a lot of people who are attending the event work during the day (or have parents who are driving them and work during the day), so thy schedule it to start at 5:30 after the typical work day is over

So yea I can't watch a single game live. What's the deal with vods in MLG, can I expect them all to be available the morning (for me) after, or do I have to wait until the tourny is almost over until I can start enjoying all the games?

Red stream is going to be so much fun. Can't wait to see how DRG does away from home!

Some of the staff are still in school as well and work on a volunteer or low pay basis and do it just to attend the events and stuff.

Usually the day after if I recall (that may just be replays, but the fact that they give you the replays is awesome, at least they used to), and I think maybe only for the membership paying dudes now? Not sure.

Used to be it would take like a month for them to be out and it would be horrible and incomplete, hopefully they'll do better this time around, and may have since I didn't check out the columbus vods.
