day 1 - open bracket day 2 - groups a/b day 3 - groups c/d day 4 - ro16/ro8 day 5 - ro4/finals it's pretty spread out, which is good for the players (not so tired and also more time to adjust to time zone) | ||

I was thinking the same thing. Should be a great tournament, maybe I will wake up for work a bit early to catch a bit of it as opposed to ranting about how I have to work and sleep and cant see it. Lets go MVP !!!!!!! | ||

 It would be sad but hilarious if Mvp or MC get upset in their brackets, since they forfeited WCS Korea for it. I hope and think not though. | ||

To be fair, it starts at 9 am CET, that's about 12 pm for people on the NA west coast, so its rather reasonable compared to some NA tourneys for europeans where tournaments start at like 3 to 4 am European time. But yes going ape shit over time is silly, you cant please everybody at once. | ||
