I think the low terran-count is a bigger problem than the time. BWC really had the potential to be the biggest sc2 tourney of all time, but with this race-distribution and the worst possible times for US/EU it can only fail. 3am to ~12am? Thats exactly the time most people sleep. | ||

I have to get an account soon  .Would add Illusion > Fenix @1.515 (his brother posted here that he was injured and could hardly train) Lucifron 2-0 Levin @1.526 (Lucifron should be some levels above his opponent) I also like Stephanos > Hero, and Babyknight 2-0 State. | ||
