No wonder, Flo stayed up till very very late last night plus was sick. A shame! DaSakura looks pretty convincing, her drop play versus Aphrodite was pretty nice. | ||

Huge props to Aphrodite for lasting from 2a all the way till 10am!! A definition of an Iron Lady for sure. Thx to all girls who showed up and played and really showcased some awesome games! | ||

I understand that it's nice to give good times to Americans, but if you're trying to make a good tournament with top players, 11am is the LATEST you should start. Waking up at 7am PST (10am EST) is much easier than doing what Aphrodite did, what luway did not do, and what most good Asians would refuse to do. I understand how you feel but you have to understand this cup is mainly for western players, so first and foremost it has to be a good hour for them. We can't start at a crazy early hour on the potential of getting 2 asian players. | ||

Starting a tournament at 2am is the crazy part, and not just crazy late, but crazy stupid. It completely ruins someone's sleep schedule, whereas 8am doesn't do anything to a normal person's sleep schedule. Edit: Not only that, but you can get more than just 2 players..... You know there are quite a few female SC2 players in Asia you can invite...................................... Needless to say, probably more than in Europe and NA (although Europe does seem to have tons of female SC2 players). | ||

Needless to say, probably more than in Europe and NA (although Europe does seem to have tons of female SC2 players). Like I said, these tournaments are USA/Europe based, therefore starting at tournament at 8am for majority of the players makes no sense. I don't know how many tournaments you play at 8am, but its not optimal. I told you I get it that the tournament time is not optimal for asian players, but they are not the majority in the tournament thats why the time is going to be bad for them. We appreciate any talented asian player that is able to show up, but at the end of the day, to get more asian girls to play, then ESL Asia is going to have to put together an Iron Lady. | ||

Needless to say, probably more than in Europe and NA (although Europe does seem to have tons of female SC2 players). Admittedly, it's not unusual to wake up at 8 am. However, I think it's worth noting that for those of us who wake up at 8 am to get to work at 9 am, the first hour or two after an early wake-up you're often in "Groggie Towne" even if you've had a cup of coffee or two. Sc2 is an ART and you have to be warmed up and in the zone, etc. 11 am isn't because we anticipate people waking up at 11 am. It's because people often wake up several hours before a tournament, get warmed up, etc. | ||

I can say that I never wake up at 8 am on a weekend and would never want to play in a tournament if I woke up that early | ||
