A global scene has its drawbacks. their schedule is usually playing until 3-4am and the next day wake up at 11more or less, they are used to play that late | ||

From what was explained each player was given a time to be around, so some like Maru and Solar may have got a chance to nap earlier | ||

I don't know what was in the air tonight but for sure unusual things were happening. One of the greatest SC2 days ever, reviving some good old times vibes. Huge shoutouts to TB / Blizzard / Kespa for making such an amazing tournament happen. Incredible format, fun games, good casting, everything was incredible. And I hope the lesson is learnt and that we'll get a lot more foreigners / Koreans interaction in the near future. I don't want to be the party pooper but i think today was as succesful and exciting BECAUSE we don't see a lot of korean vs foreigner anymore. I hope the next one will have the same numbers (or better), but in the long run i am not sure if that's realistic. Surely one reason we have it once a month and not every weekend (ok money probably the bigger reason for this) The novelty factor is the most important part here. | ||

I think it will retain its novelty factory because it is the only regular form of competition between super high level players from every region while still being "only" once a month. Especially if TB can keep delivering the big names, which I'm sure he can, this should continue to be a success. It's not like there's any serious competition to this event (in SC2) that would steal viewers. | ||

Yeah it will keep the novelty factor somewhat, but today was still the first day which i would expect to have the best numbers. But yeah i don't think this will fail or anything, about 20k each time should be doable i think. Let's just hope that TB really gets Kespa players each time | ||

For the others I guess it just depends on the schedules for the rest of the year. | ||

Nice cast as well as usual from OG, Koka TKL and imre today. I don't think the first one will have the most viewers, some people will recommend this event to their friends and even more people will join the train  | ||

So many thanks to TB(and everyone behind the scenes) for putting in the effort for this and to Blizzard for sponsoring it with price money. Really grateful to everyone that made this possible, sad Maru got knocked but the games were so good I don't even care. | ||

Hell, outside of the 3 KR tournaments, seeing any Koreans play is sort of gone, so I loved it. Also Innovation won. | ||
