What the GSL do is have their finals on a Saturday, finals being on a Sunday just highly limits the viable times for a broadcast. | ||

Well, I just brought that but I won't even complain, in fact my sleep schedule was already fucked from the past 2 NASL days + GSL finals so I woke up for the finals without any alarm-clock :D Imo the valid criticism is that there are better times for everyone. MLG one seems perfect because it's good for US and EU. | ||

That might be the only MLG event that was run this late that I can remember. Usually the MLG finals are always being played at around 5-7PM EST on sundays. Really NASL final was the only tournament that started at like 11pm EST. | ||

Not Really Europeans would only have to stay up all night once or twice a year for an NASL final while for GSL Western Hemisphere has to stay up late every night if we don't have payed Subscription for GOMTV May be somewhat bad for their Viewership but heh Western Hemisphere who can't pay for GOMTV VOD has to do it almost every weekday. | ||

(We have to stay up late if we don't pay for VODS Every night) And yet for many Europeans, GSL is played at a time where the vast majority of us will be at work or school. So I get the pass and watch it spoiler free when I get home. For NASL, can we honestly say the VOD system is solid enough to do that? For damn sure it wasn't season one. Plus it's the finals and for us nothing happens until 4am when they start playing the 3rd place match. I watched like 3 games and was like 'lol gg, gl Hero'. Plus aren't the GSL finals played earlier in the day specifically to get a higher proportion of western hemisphere audience? | ||

but the title on twict.tv with the episode name says "State of the Game eP59 with #ESPORTS" is twitter case sensitive? lol Edit: http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=#eSports looks like it's not case sensitive | ||

The difference is that NASL could have started their fucking final 3-4 hours earlier, right after the HON event instead of waiting at 11PM EST. Really no excuses. I don't understand how anyone can defend this point. | ||

Again, this was the finals of a long season. I also believe that the hours hurt the live audience numbers since you have to count for travel and the radius gets shorter for every hour late. Sundays is just not optimal, especially not late sundays. | ||
