Dreamhack generally tries to schedule the finals in the evening here so it's atleast in the middle of the day/afternoon in US. The event will start late evening for us now on a sunday >_> The finals will probably be at 3-4 AM. | ||

There is nothing a tournament can do about timezones, except do 1) rebroadcasts and 2) have VODs. I definitely agree that NASL could have done Day 1 rebroadcasts immediately after, but I can understand them not airing a rebroadcast since Day 1 was nearly 12 hours long and there wasn't enough time to replay the entire rebroadcast. And as for VODs, that's part of subscribing and I also can't fault them for having real subscriber bonuses. | ||

This is the ONLY thing stopping me from buying an HD ticket for the finals, and a subscription for the next season. I am absolutely loving NASL but I can't watch it on a computer. My old macbook air at school is unable to handle flash videos (overheats and the works). I was lucky I had access to a computer yesterday, but today I don't. I might have to just use teamviewer and link to my computer at home. | ||

DH does NOT schedule their tournaments to be "world-friendly", which is ridiculous because there exists timezones. Both DH finals and GSL start times are usually around 4am my time (US EST). Whoever says that DH schedules around NA timezones is incorrect. There is nothing a tournament can do about timezones, except do 1) rebroadcasts and 2) have VODs.

I have to watch on my phone if I'm on the go and can't just carry my laptop around. I think it's been stated that twitch is working on having subscriptions also apply to phones, but that's apparently where the issue is -- the app version of twitch.tv doesn't distinguish between subscribers and non-subscribers. I feel like this is an easy fix, but lol, what do I know??? | ||

I mean it probably is seen as a low-priority issue since it affects a low number of people, and essentially only a few streams that have subscriptions. Like I wish one of their people would restream into 240p or 360p or even 480p without subscriptions. I mean people get those for free anyway. They probably won't because it would fuck with their numbers, but meh. | ||

Depending on how much time DeMuslim spends at the Lair in Arizona, we could possibly make a case there. To carry this silly supposition to the full extent of ludicrous, I think Hyun needs to file with the IRS for having a steady job at the IPL Fight Club. So he counts for Murica too. | ||

Gom at least has their finals on a saturday, always. It just sucks because I would stay up if I could. But I really can't watch a bo7 grand finals starting at 2am on a monday morning when I have to go to work 6 hours later. If you're gonna do that have it a) be a saturday or b) let there be free vods for the finals. That's just simple logic. Anything else is just a big fuck you to everybody in different timezones. Which sucks because I love watching NASL. | ||
