Starting January twelfth, the Proleague broadcast time will be moved back 30 minutes to 09:30 GMT (+00:00) from the previous 19:00 KST.
In addition, Proleague will provide audio receivers with English commentary to any fans who present a valid form of identification at the information desk.
Additionally, proleauge now has a facebook and a miro website for easier access for all information regarding proleague:
www.facebook.com/proleague.sc2
proleague.kr
Finally, players will no longer play ace matches in the special second floor booths, and play in the normal first floor booths instead for the duration of round one.

430 AM instead of 5! Game changing! Just kidding.
The Facebook and new site are good steps!
|
|
|
Still a little late for me in the working week (bed by 10pm, usually). Oh well, I can always watch it on Twitch or YT later.
|
Gotta say PL is doing a hell of a job this year!

30 min start time change and ace match booth change are in direct response to Korean netizen feedback. Nothing to do with foreign viewers.

Ah yeah, wasn't the problem that ProLeague ran too long and when matches ended the subway was already closed?
|
10.30 AM is not to bad of a time to watch SCII
|
I guess this is good news for people in Asia and SEA. Don't effect the other regions too much though.
|
Proleague <3 best League in SC2

Why do you need to validate that you're a foreigner at the desk for english audio? Seems a bit excessive. But its still pretty awesome!

Doesnt mention "validate being a foreigner" at all. It says provide identification, probably so they can track you down if you decide to steal it.
|
Hell yeah! 1:30am instead of 2am! My bedtime is usually around 2am so this works out well. I can watch a bit before going to sleep. :D
EDIT:
Why booth change? Those 2nd floor booths are badass.
|
This is actually great for when I'm on nightshift. It just means less people will be awake yet to watch it with me. D:
|
Good move
|
Yeah... I knew something was wrong when we saw the foreigners there not watching with headphones on. The headphones usually mean english audio is available.

its not to validate that you are foreign, your ID is used as a deposit so that you can't steal the receiver....... want your ID back? have to give them the reciever back.
Also, in the OP it should say that the time has been moved FORWARD 30 mins, not backwards. Backwards would mean it starts later.
|
The timemove is because of matches went on for to long they would end after the subway stations close.

Hey, they sort of listened to me 
Although personally I feel the games should start at 17:00 KST.

PL is really doing everything right this season. Very happy to see that. Let PL handle team leagues and GSL handle Individual leagues and all will be well in the world <3

Damn 9:30 am lolol.
Hmmm ok doesn't effect me to much i should still be able to do every Sunday and at work it's probably better too as it wont finish at silly 1/2pm GMT so i can actually do my afternoon jobs xD
I was wondering when they were going to do this though as they have had the odd technical difficulty pushing the broadcast way past 10:30KST which is pretty late.

But wouldn't that mean no one can go to them apart from students? As most people are still at school/work? I thought the reason they are making it later is so that get more broadcast viewers? 19:00KST = most people are home from work sat down in front of TV/in PC bangs?
Or am i wrong xD
|
I just went once but didn't intend to go back (not having english commentary at some points get on the nerves)
I guess I will with these improvments
|
Wow, I was scared they would move it back several hours so I would miss it.
30 minutes doesn't really matter to me, just got to remember to tune in half an hour earlier.
|
Now I can watch the first game. Yay!. Wish they would move it to 17 KST or earlier.

I would surmise that there is a limited amount of hardware available, so they want to only give it out to those who need it.

Yeah 4:30 instead of 5am!!

Well yea that means that if you are not at school or working at that time you might as well sleep long enough to go for PL + breakfast

I was already having a hard time waking up at 5:00 for the matches T_T
|
I already drink half a pot of coffee to wake up at 5am. Well, I guess I have the other half left to get me up at 4:30. Other than that complaint, every action is perfectly logical and great to hear. I don't know why they even used the second floor booths to begin with for the ace matches.
|
Huh, I didn't realize English commentary wasn't available, but that's great.
The games are soooo much better this year, and the production in keeping up
|
As a Brit that is struggling to wake up early at the moment this might sting
|
Any tips for a westerner who wants to watch a match on the weekend at 4:30 a.m.?
|
Glad they got rid of the second floor booths. That was just a silly waste of time.
|
I approve even so I am neither part of target audience for those changes nor am I affected by them in any way 
Ps: the 2nd floor boooths were really unnecessary
|
This thread was confusing me because for me "will be moved back 30 minutes" means that it will happen 30 minutes later but then everybody commented that it will happen earlier. oO
I then googled it though and a website said that most people understand it the same way as me, so I guess people on TL are just weird.

I was confused as fuck after skim reading the OP (just saw "moved back 30 mins") then seeing everyone reply that it started earlier :D.

for me it is 7:30am instead of 8am hehehe :D

I love ACE booths

Where do I pay for the subscription. Could not find that info.

Yeah, no thanks...
|
well this means i can finally catch some matches in my breaks at school.
|
4:30 instead of 5 is gonna hurt but i'm still gonna get up and watch :D
|
why no ace booths?
|
PL is still my favorite tournament to watch, after all these years. Good changes!
|
The main change for me is the fact they no longer use the upstairs booth, it was nice in theory but the downtime it causes is not worth the style.
|
The caster change was amazing to begin with, loving wolf. Change of time is meh. Using the floor booths is way better, the second floor was kinda wierd.
Anyone noticed the live viewership recently? I only watch the VoD's the following day. The entire effort seems 100% better then last year. The only thing I would LOVE to see changed now is production/camera on the english casters like GOM has.
|
The second floor was so hype. Impractical, a bit awkward and the games always had some technical reason, but sooo hype.

hmm seems like I'm the only one that thinks 5 am is better than 4:30 XD Either way, great to see them trying to make PL even better

Wake up at 4:30 or watch the vods?
As much as I've enjoyed watching live Proleague, if you have a normal work or school schedule, messing up your sleep constantly for live PL is something I'd advise against. Unless you can afford to actually change your sleep schedule long term, you'll probably find it not too worthwhile.
|
Still Europe-working hours . Good thing the're also playing on Sundays.
|
|
|
10.30 am, hell yeah, even at that hour i'm allrdy at work :p
English audio is sweet though for people on site.
|
SPL in perfect time with my breakfast. God I love me some proleague in the morning
|
Well, it's tough enough getting up at 5AM on a school day....and another lost half hour of sleep.....
but for proleague it can be done
