WTF WAS THAT??? Right-click up a ramp and mutinous vikings. Ha ha ha mutinous vikings ^^ I like the way you say it, it's quite funny, though they weren't as mutinous as they were suicidal.
Haha that too :D
I can picture Morrow being like "All right viking fleet! Head in and pick off those colossi!"
"........Nahhhhhhh."

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.
Can't the players just travel to Detroit one or two days early and play the games live from there? And I have no sympathy for the timezone issue. This is WCS EU after all.
I think its understandable that they changed schedule for the players but i hope this will be a one-time-only exception.
Because i think JustPassingBy is right, this IS WCS EU. If they dont feel like playing at the EU time.. well they should not play in EU.

Fast engineering bay. Surely Morrow will have those turrets up way in advance to stop San's dt pressure, right?
Right?

The Man goes DTs... it's gonna be good

Ah MorroW, you don't know how pleased I am by this missile turret.

Hmmm, wonder if on Overgrowth if you should build some depots in that sliver they can warp in from there similar to what we had to do on Delta Quadrant

?? the players are who they are, they earned the right to compete, they are the entertainers and they should be accomodated. making them pick between events or change their travel plans just for the sake of live games would be horrible for the scene

None in the main though :D

I don't get why he doesn't get a turret in the main. Protoss almost always follows up with a prism if you defend the first DTs well.

If it was purely due to timezone restrictions, sure. But both players also had to travel to events. Like I said, we could have forced them not to travel to events, but can you imagine the problems that would cause over playing from replays?

Yeah, next time Player A comes and he asks for a butler and that they live stream his games at midnight EU time. Because he is an entertainer and we should do everything to please him this is no problem, right?
