 When you bring in the top foreigners from the west and the top foreigners from the east, you get a lot of unfortunately one-sided matchups. It's especially unfortunate that the mid-tier foreigners played the mid-tier foreigners, and the top-tier foreigners all got the easterners; means that we see a lot of one-sided stuff.So far nothing too surprising. Drogotilt is a thing, which sucks, but otherwise everything has gone to expectations. | ||

Does anyone know why are they doing it in such early hours? It hurts the viewership for sure. Not only for EU, but I'm sure more Americans could join as well if it wasn't played in the middle of night. Well any later and it would be played in the middle of the night of America Right now it's the perfect west coast time zone, and pretty great for East Coast too. If you shoved it forward 6 hours, it becomes better for Shanghai/Europe but impossible for NA. East Coast would struggle similar to how Europe struggles now, West Coast wouldn't watch. Right now..Awesome for West Coast. Good for East Coast. Mediocre for Europe. Mediocre for China. If you swap 6 hours forward - Impossible for West Coast. Mediocre for East Coast. Good for Europe. Awesome for China. | ||

The venue is only open for a certain amount of time. It closes in a couple hours if I remember right | ||

Not only for EU, but I'm sure more Americans could join as well if it wasn't play ed in the middle of night for them. Apparently the venue closes at 5. Also, today was really onesided with 2 quick 3-0 and 2 pretty quick 3-1 and that was with tech difficulties. Also, they're only doing 4 matches a day over 4 days and it really isn't too bad for AM, depending on TimeZone. In Central it's only 2 am which mean it's viable to stay up and watch. | ||
