This year feels so much more spread out... I'm not sure if I like that or not... Although last year it was almost daily WCS content. Time will tell I guess.
How interesting that both are held at ESL studios. I wonder what the reasoning for that is (and if we're going to get North America friendly times for the WCS AM games)?

They're held at the ESL studios because NASL collapsed and ESL didnt have the means to create studio production in America(obviously they do now with the acquisition of ESS). Also because its cheaper I guess WCS AM will start at 15:00 GMT (+00:00), they'll do 2 groups a day because of time constraints
Somehow I totally missed the news about NASL.... just caught up now, thanks.
If anyone else has been in a cave the last month like me here you go (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/445485-nasl-end-sc2-operations-esl-to-take-over-wcs-am).
It's fun that the AM tickets are for free, while EU tickets are 7 euros. I guess due to the broadcast time that would potentially suck for german audience?

The WCS AM Ro16 is free while the Ro8 for AM/EU are 7 euros.
so if doors open at 16:30 CEST for WCS AM does that mean they aren't doing it at the normal WCS AM time like they originally announced they were? I mean I know it would suck for them in Germany because they would have to start at like midnight so I was just wondering.

Hopefully they do some EU games and then some AM games so that the AM games are at least at more friendly times for those of us in NA. I'd hate to miss the first few days because I'm at work!

5 pm CEST for the group stages, because they are doing 2 groups a day.Its on Saturday/Sunday aswell, so its not too bad The finals weekend will start at 11pm CEST though
