MLG and Assembly announcing it a few weeks prior to the event starting is simply way too late and is bound to cause conflicts. | ||

The grand finals will be on the 25th. The ASSEMBLY event is open between 24-26th while ASUS ROG Tournament will run through 24-25th. | ||

For example, Dreamhack announces their dates two years prior to the event starting, which means no one else schedules their events for the same time. MLG and Assembly announcing it a few weeks prior to the event starting is simply way too late and is bound to cause conflicts. existence of Assembly winter has been known for a long time already so i dont think that they announced their event too late. Only ASUS ROG were announced now but it was clear that there would be pro-Starcraft 2 tournametn at Assembly | ||

Assembly's dates have been known for a very long time now, MLG just probably didn't remember the whole thing existed, and didn't care to think that there would be a Major SC2 tournament in one of the larger LAN parties in europe. Typical America centrism if you ask me. I would expect at least a couple of the already published names withdraw from the tournament roster because of this, but one can always hope. oh wow that sucks. Would be much nicer for fans of Starcraft to be able to see both tournaments with everyone that's supposed to be in it. Hope everything works out. | ||

Yeah, SC2 is eventually going to need some sort of "player association" as well. I wouldn't be upset if ASUS ROG made some sort of statement like "If you withdraw your commitment and then attempt to reapply you'll only be eligible for <100% of the prize payout". However their best bet is to do try more positive reinforcement like increasing the prize pool or somthing... Either way, looking forward to the next update! | ||

Assembly will be much harder hit viewer wise than player wise for sure, as most of the Americans will watch MLG. You have to take timezones into account. Assembly will start in the middle of the night for NA and finish in middle of the day, while MLG will start in theuropean evening and finish in the middle of the night. | ||
