Well, it's not perfect for us either, since it's workdays. Most people are at work/school. It starts around 1 pm. If it had been earlier, no one from Europe would have been able to watch any games. Like this, we can't see the first games, and NA can't see the last games, if I calculated correctly.
The times don't really work for anyone, but since it's workdays, you can't make it so that everyone in the world can see all games.

I disagree here, starting it at 11:00 or 11:30 wouldn't have been that much of a problem, people could have watched during their lunch

Well, I guess you are right. It would be better. Still, it's not that the times would be much better. It's not a perfect solution. How long does a lunch break last? 30 minutes? That's one, or two games at most. Not even a full series. For instance, I can't watch any Korean leagues, because they start at 11:00 am CEST. At most I can catch a game or two during lunch.

Although, I would have preferred it at 11:00, rather then 13:00. A game or two is better then nothing.

Yeah for sure, games on weekdays suck in general.

That seems like a life decision and you haven't made the right choice yet. Lorning's gifs are magic. You need them in your life.

Awesome OP!

This is so not fair, last weekend I was sick at home and no major SC2 was going on, this weekend I will be travelling and there will be IEM with like all the players I like. Then next week there are both NSSL and GSL finals while I will still be away.

At least the "away" thing means that I will be watching a total solar ecllipse at 78 degrees northern latitude, so that may be at least comparable to watching SC2

herO has already won all of our hearts.

He just needs to win this tournament. But even if he doesn't, we'll love him just the same

I mean that in a slight tongue in cheek way.

I am going to seriously reevaluate how I view Zest though. He's not a patchtoss, but his position as a top-tier Protoss and player is rapidly dropping and a loss to Hydra would be the tipping point given the prestige of the event.

Zest should bring his A-game

Pretty much this. If he doesn't show some better games here then I feel he'll be back to his 2013 level. Solid Protoss in PL and not much else.
