To clarify.
We had to play this series early due to too many conflicting travel arrangements. Unfortunately there are so many players attending events in the forthcoming weeks that if you include travel days it simply becomes impossible to schedule around them.
These matches were all played yesterday at the same time as Group A was for the following reasons:
San is living in Taiwan which is +6 hours from CEST. Meaning he would start at midnight, and potentially play until 5am. He has to catch a flight to Redbull Detroit early that morning and could potentially have to leave during play if we had long matches and he went to the decider match.
We suggested playing the group a few hours early to accommodate this, but ToD is currently on the west coast of the USA which is -9 hours from CEST. If we tried to play at the proposed 15:00 CEST, it would be 06:00 for him which would be inadequate for him. He also had to fly to Detroit at a similar time, as you may be aware of due to his tweets today! He will then be in Toronto for IEM the following week.
Bunny also flies to Redbull Detroit, Toronto and then onto China for WEC, which completely blocks off all other dates for the rest of the ro32 schedule.
Unfortunately Group A (the one played yesterday) also had similar issues with Snute and StarDust and so we had two groups with the exact same issues regarding scheduling and both requiring the same date to play. With this in mind, we had the choice of either forcing player(s) to miss certain events, or schedule around them, which was our preferred option as we do not wish to limit players attendance to any event.
Ultimately we decided to move the broadcast date of Group B from the 21st to the 20th to minimise the amount of time in which any leaks could occur and maintain the integrity of the broadcast. As we speak, only 4 people know the full results of the evening, which are two referees (myself and Shawn) and the two players who participated in the deciding match. All commentary is live and blind to results.
I apologise if the broadcasting from replays has had a negative experience on your evening, but you should know that this is always very much a last resort and we always intend to have matches played live and this is the first time this has happened in 6 seasons (48 groups) of WCS EU Premier.

When Protoss seems weakest, when Terran seem unstoppable, one man will come to save them all. Or more accurately, one DT. Hail the Dark Knight. Hail Inca.

he stimmed into the DT with no scan lol
|
Not having any turrets or energy for scan when not knowing if there are DTs is inexcusable imo. You just can't cut that many corners. Three turrets and that does nothing.

Well damn, Morrow had a good shot at 2-0ing San
now it will be hard to win this game
|
omg morrow never scans and kills observers ..
San knows everything all the time

Technically, even if you don't have a single turret in each mineral line, with perfect reaction, dts shouldn't kill 30 workers...

Not even in each which is quite an investment, but a single turret at his natural entrance would have made his life so much easier...

Serioiusly though, didn't he see the DT's? How did he not start a turret? He had the money
Anyway I have to go now but good luck morrow

Even without seeing the DT or not he knew Blink was out. So he knew a TC was at least on the field for a decent amount of time. You have to prepare for the possibility of DTs at this phase in the game.

just a security turret in his natural would suffice, imo. that way you always have a mineral line to which you can savely retreat your scvs without heavy losses (except denied mining time, obviously).
