He's only 29yo, give him some caffein, he should be able to stay up until 5am NP at that age :/ (altough he really doesnt look fit) Not even 8pm. But jetlag is a huge possibility Las Vegas =/= LA. Nevada is in Mountain Time Zone, so it's around 8:43 right now.
Las Vegas is very close to the Nevada California border, and is in fact on Pacific time. Its not even hard to look that up dude.

Hating Koreans would be rooting for them to lose - which is what BackSideAttack was doing the entire weekend for Stephano.
I don't think I've ever rooted against a Korean, though I have rooted for foreigners. That's the difference. Except no one has EVER hated on Stephano for being French. they hate on him because of the way he plays. There's a huge difference between saying "Stephano sucks" and "There's only Koreans left? I'm leaving or I'm going to complain." Do you see that? No, because no one's leaving because there are only Koreans left - they're leaving because there are no foreigners left, which is the difference that you fail to perceive. Hating Koreans is refusing to watch tournaments in which they participate - no one has ever done that. People leave because there are no foreigners left, which is the reason they leave when the remaining players are all Korean. I'm done with this. You obviously just don't get how you're coming off to people. You're easily offended, I get it, but it's nothing compared to the offensiveness of saying that people who prefer to watch foreigners vs. Koreans rather than Koreans vs. Koreans are racists who strictly cheer for people of their own skin color. Don't start fights you don't want to finish. I'm not offended I'm just baffled by your logic or lack thereof. You aren't being racist towards me because I'm not Korean there's no way for me to actually be offended, I'm actually trying to educate you in how you're coming off as racist just in case you decided you wanted to not sound like a racist. Since you clearly don't care how you're coming off there's nothing left for me to discuss with you. Thanks, but there's zero reason for me to think that I'm coming off as racist, as I've never gotten this complaint except from you. While I probably wouldn't have really payed attention to it myself, this view point is certainly racist. It's not just racist to put one group down over another, but also racist to support one group above another. So you aren't being what people typically view a racist as, but you are changing your opinion based on race. Incorrect. Take the Olympics, for example. People root for their own countries' players during the Olympics, and when those players fall, they root for their own regions' players. That doesn't mean they're prejudiced against people of other races - that's just sports in a nutshell. Saying that rooting for foreigners is racist is equivalent to saying all people are racist. In that case, it's a moot argument. Surely you're aware that you're defining "their own region" as the entire world minus one country, right? I wouldn't bother trying to defend it, it's going to require some hair splitting.
becuase that one country has more players and more better players then the entire world so its like its own world

I think you guys are overblowing the fatigue factor a bit. These guys put in 8+ hour practice sessions on a regular basis. Someone has never been to like Eastern Europe- tell me about 2pm local time on the 2nd day how you feel. If you're talking about jetlag, it's a non-factor if you prepare yourself, which is what all of these guys should have been doing. I've made those transitions dozens of times and I haven't felt it once. Are you a small guy? Being 6'3 and riding coach I'm exhausted any long flight because I literally cannot sleep. ~24 hour travel (driving, airport, flight, airport, driving, hotel) can be exhausting.
Well, closer to your height than 5'5", that's for sure. I can't sleep on flights either, but I don't try.

What you were saying earlier was the latter. Learn the difference and you'll stop coming off like such a jerk.

Also the Underdog factor, which happens in all sports as well. I consider all foreigners the underdogs so this kind of naturally makes me cheer for them, I can't help it tbh.
