I guess MLG caters to a young enough crowd that this probably doesn't hurt them but if they really want to start going main stream I would imagine they will start to take this kinda stuff more into consideration (ending at midnight on the east coast). | ||

You can also watch the VODs the next day so it's no problem. (but I'm pretty much only looking forward to the Zerg games, so for me it's not a great problem if I get spoiled. | ||

I was watching a fighting game stream, and as far as I could tell, a crazed chine man got on the mic. He was discussing how in the zone he gets while playing, and his ability to focus. So, he could be naked while playing, and while he would be distracted, he would never ever touch himself.  ^_^ %_%Previous sig quotes include : "But I'm a fuckin Ninja, I've got underwear on my face" Mr Bitter "You never see two male Karaks close to each other" Artosis "Machine, you're a good boy" Unknown, possible sex offender Artosis on the subject of having children: "It can't be harder than Starcraft."

MLG has always started 4:00 PM with it's opening ceremonies in whatever time zone they are in. No one should expect MLG set in Anaheim to cater more to the European audience than the pay who paid tickets. Same thing with how Americans shouldn't expect special treatment by having Dreamhack or GSL start at crazy times so they get more viewers. The people that paid tickets most likely will not be so cheerful in the middle of the night in Anaheim even if the schedule will go as planned (though, let's be serious). Some will also leave. I can bet that many will not come in the first place on friday. The games will deteriorate as players go in the night. So how is this a win win situation for the people in Anaheim? Because they get to see the opening ceremony? 9:00 AM for an event that goes 12+ hours is a perfect time. And the bonus is that you get global coverage not just local. But to be honest my main concern is that when EU will wake up in the morning we will see some terrible game played live by exhausted players. | ||

I'm pretty sure the venue is close to or already has sold out for spectators... Just quit digging yourself a hole... You realize how stupid you sound? EDIT: MLG UPDATE: "Due to ceaRshaf's complaint about timezone broadcasting issues, we regret to inform you all that we won't be starting the matches until 2:35am PST. ceaRshaf's request to cater to another countries timezone based on his supreme thought process has been the ultimate turnpoint in our decision. As he is our most important fan, who demonstrates how to look like a jackass on a forum by saying stupid shit, we've decided with this result. Please feel free to message ceaRshaf with any complaints about such an idiotic request, or if you'd like to know more about how to become a fucking idiot. Cheers, MLG" User was warned for this post | ||

Cheers, MLG" It's not nice to say unkind things :o On times, here in sunny England it's actually a pretty perfect time for me. I have to stay up till about 2am to watch it all but hell I have the weekend off I was going to do that anyway. Now to figure out how to surreptitiously watch MLG while my mates are round tomorrow. They're not exactly the...type...to enjoy watching SC with me  | ||

Who thought of this? Or rather, who didn't think about this at all? Is it the same start time tomorrow? I guess I can watch re-runs all day tomorrow if it's a decent time tomorrow to catch up but this is quite dumb I must say. Trying to be 1 of the top tournament organizers and completely ignoring surely 50% of the viewers is very odd... | ||

Dreamhacks and home story cups, etc start at 2-3am for me. DAMMIT MLG why did you make us live in different places on this spherical planet orbiting a star and rotating on it's axis, creating cycles of light and darkness that we use to dictate which times we rest and which times we eat and work. First PPV now this. Fuck. | ||
