At least i wasn't watchign this day, gonna skip the rest and TSL for sure too(just read the time rules and ... well.. nto gonna support that)

What rules?

For TSL6 every play day will start at 5PM CET / 11AM EST / 8 AM PST. We understand that will make the tournament run very late for our Korean players but we have not been given any indications that that is an issue, and we’ll try to schedule their matches as early in the day as possible.

Nobody ever said it's an issue, as we expect every progamer is a nolifer who is perfectly fine playing a pro match at 1 AM earliest(if my adjustment is correct)

In korea yes its normal, they often ladder at 2 am/3am hence they are used to playing at those times, hence they have no issue with it. So what is the reason again you are not gonna watch tsl?

It's not normal unless you wake up at 11 PM. I am awake up to 3 AM local time and I wouldn't touch the code(programmer) after 10 pm. BEcause I know my brains limits. Laddering isn't exactly a pro match, right?

Edit> and yes, that's the reason.

Edit 2> but hey, maybe it is normal. What do i know? All I know is that I hate that reasoning and that's why I'm not watching it

11PM? Pretty sure people can still think more than 4 hours after waking up.

And lots of devs like to work at night--it's all about how you manage your sleep schedule. You're just projecting your standards onto other people.

Also I would assume they go to bed at like 4 AM-5AM after their ladder sessions/tournament and then wake up in the early afternoon..

Almost no pros play ladder past 1 AM in Korea

Thanks for the invaluable insight.

So such late hour isn't optimal for streaming. Does that also mean that Korean SC2 fans don't really stay up late to watch such foreign tourneys?

Why would they if I didn't for Blizzccon games?

The rather limited amount of Korean SC2 viewers is at this point probably hardcore enough to watch tournaments scheduled like this I'd have to imagine. At least so long as there's Korean coverage (which IIRC Blizzcon had some fails with).

I desperately want to see some big gabe salt. I'll even tolerate a 60 minute serral trap snoozefest if that's what it takes

Question is if they watch live or avoid spoilers and watch the next day(which is my case even if it's during the weekend). Let's see what Scarlett knows, maybe somebody can ask Artosis via them Patreon questions.

Expecting serral to get back in the roll of things today with a 2-0, hope he plays the winners match v trap who looks to be in great form

They apparently switched the groups no idea why...
But HeroMarine has too bad ping to play at a decent level in cross server so he is not expecting too much and probably won't be salty.

Bit of a upset with Serral beating Enderr considering Enderr did win his region while Serral didnt even finish top-2. Will be interesting to see if Trap manages to put up a fight in the winners bracket..

Trap did only get Top 8 in his Region, absolute underdog in this group
