Seems logical given it's a EU tournament, I don't see the problem with an NA tournament being played at a reasonable time for NA players. "Guys, to pease the EU audience, we're starting at 1AM, and we're going to play till 2pm. Repeat for the rest of the weekend." Does this make sense to you? | ||

For that matter, we should probably look at rescheduling all events to fall at primetime CET. Those are the only people that matter. /s At least you can watch a fair number of tournaments - KR and EU both can be troublesome to the NA viewing audience. | ||

The people getting to the event and actually being at the tournament itself are way less important than the viewers at home who all use AdBlock. Correct me if I am wrong, but it is Friday, 28 June 2013, 00:11:01 right now in Anaheim. Which means that event starts at 17.30h, right? So if they for example started a couple of hours earlier, people from Europe could at least catch some games at normal time... And I actually pay for MLG membership... Or is there another Anaheim? | ||

The majority of people in the area that will attend don't get out of work until after 1700. Friday night into the weekend, it's been the format for every MLG I've ever heard of. I guess they could always, I dunno, hold the Finals on a Monday. | ||

Yes but we are talking about first rounds here. It is not like you will miss Flash vs. Jaedong there. But never mind, I guess you cant accomodate everyone. | ||

So as a european just set an alarm for saturday early in the morning and you'll be good to go ~_~ Winners round 2-3 should start to have a decent amount of good games, a lot less players than the old open brackets. | ||

How long would you estimate a round takes? I honestly don't know, never thought about it. Half an hour for two macro games I guess, 45 minutes for a long, close series? That'd put you at 4-5am to catch WR3, assuming all series are played at the same time, take equally long and there's no breaks in between. That's pretty reasonable if you really wanna watch it. Set an alarm and follow your passion ~~~~ | ||
