You do have the option to get VODs for a mere $10, and an event in CA WILL be at an awkward time for europe (and probably even east-coast US). If they were to take Europe into consideration they would have no live audience whatsoever, people aren't generally excited about asc2 final before breakfast. | ||

And wwhen mlg is in Anaheim again you will be screwed. Expecting a tournament on the west coast of the united states to work for people in Europe is unrealistic | ||

I was actually making fun of the fact that the regional name means shit , everyone wants every fan they can get. I can assure you GSL would alter their times if they thought more fans could follow. I mean I dont ask for something extreme but make it a bit earlier... Late is fine , I stay up every time US tournaments are off but this is at 7-8 am for me and 5-6 am for rest of europe... | ||

What time should the NASL air out of curiousity for it to be comfortable for you? I think I missed the first two groups of Dreamhack where I live (Same timezone as California) so I would have prefered it to air about 2 hours later. It wasn't a big deal for me, but I don't see any reason that NASL shouldn't air at a time friendlier for you guys. It's good business. Edit: some guys said two hours earlier would be better for. I'd be perfectly fine with that (In fact I'd like it better). Waking up to Starcraft 2 is awesome, as is watching it with a warm cup of coffee. Also to keep in mind, Championship Sunday for MLG start at 9 oclock (Whereas NASL is starting at 12 oclock on the west coast). | ||

Add to that the guaranteed (relative) quality of the GSL... I'm rather impressed with what NASL has put together for this weekend, actually, but scheduling the finals like this is a mistake or an intentional move to alienate their european watchers. | ||

Oh no i think that the GSL's times are fine, i was saying the argument that leagues should be timed according to their names wasnt true. I have a problem with NASL because they are making it hard for at least half of their viewership to watch their finals. | ||

They don't have to change their entire schedule just to accomodate 1 time zone but some small changes would give them a lot more EU viewers. And MLG was usually held in EST, 3 hours ahead of where NASL is. When mlg was in anaheim, similar problems arose. | ||

MLG Anaheim was on the west coast and its grand finals started only 45 minutes earlier. | ||

GSL starts for the EU at around 11:00am (CET), so unless you are a student or have no job, you can't watch it. But GSL is a polished product and many people happily paying 10$ bucks for the VODs. NASL is medicore at best, you would be dump to pay for VODs. So instead of getting more people to watch the finals live, making money from ads and maybe getting people hooked to a flawed product, they are pissing off a good bunch of people (read: all of EU). Do you still believe the complains from the EU fans are unreasonable when even for the East Coast guys the finals start at 10:00pm? | ||
