High risk/reward, and they aint exactly flying the players over by gunpoint

Bo3s.......... T_T
This is a single elim bracket right? I think they could've fitted Bo5s for Ro8 & 4 and Bo7 for the final. Are there many other events at DH Valencia? I was under the impression that SC2 was the main event.

No time for that, there are other things besides sc2, but even after that, imagine 3 hours long bo5 in RO8, then is basically impossible to run the whole tournament in a day starting at 3pm

It's a 1-day event, if it's Bo5 the schedule becomes very tricky

Oh it's a 1 day event? I was thinking it was over 2 days. Then that makes sense.

I think the schedule is very tight even for bo3. If somehow we have bo3 over 2hours (i know, not very common) there could be delays, meaning playing at 11+ the finals.

Wow, no tickets since yesterday. Do not expect a huge crowd (<300) T_T.

I was hoping something bigger and wanted to go, but clearly expectations of crowd were too low and they choose a place quite small.

The DH Stockholm invitational wasnt big either. They choose a good location over big crowd (Only 450 iirc,) but it was a huge sucess anyway.

Australian east coast is only 8 hours ahead during the european summertime, so starts 11 pm for those of us on aus east coast.

Thanks for putting the time zones into the OP, was confused because the TL event starts an hour before the first game.

Don't want to miss any sleep.
