I agree. Finishing first in the group is a distinct possibility for Jim. However I don't think that both Jim and TLO will upset Polt. So it'll be the usual feeling that non-Koreans aren't doing so badly, but still with all the Koreans making it to the later rounds.

What's with the absurdly idiotic scheduling? 11pm/12pm European time on a Sunday? Is this supposed to be All Foreigner WCS or American WCS?

It's supposed to be the American and European WCS, which is why groups are split between EU and AM

When it was WCS NA, it was more reasonable as it catered to one audience, but what logic is there to put it so late for half the audience, when it's a weekend?

Any yes, they are probably fucking up with the EU times during the week as well. They just need to use their brains more to try and schedule things if they are going to try and combine EU and NA.

GSL and Proleague for me are a no-no most of the time due to time issues, EU is the way to go if I want to see some Sc2 action. ...and THE EU tournament's fucking schedule starts at midnight. Sigh, I'll miss about everything live and hope to watch games without being spoiled - unlike today, where I had accidentally left the liquipedia tab open and refreshed it >_>

So because you can't watch many events at a reasonable time, means tournaments organizers should make sure that there are tournaments at insane time for others regions as well while they could make everyone happy? Sick logic bro.

The thing is, there is just no reason not to start earlier on a weekend. There is no downside to starting earlier, many more people could watch. If this was during the week it would be ok, but on a sunday it's just stupid.

You got Saturday, and you are slightly inconvinienced Sunday. I'm not saying that ideally it shouldn't be earlier, but it's starting to really piss me off that every single European is suddenly concerned with event times and it's effects on viewers when EU can't watch the whole thing when every other event is almost universally at a bad time for NA. Suck it up for once.

But there is no reason for anybody to suck it up, neither EU nor NA. Other events have tons of reasons why they start at the time they do (venues, live audience, tv-broadcasts, target audience etc...).

I feel like Polt and ForGG haven't been on top of their game lately. On the topic of Polt, I could see him getting ousted out in 3rd with Jim and TLO advancing. I don't see Polt losing a TvT though because, unless Kelazhur has some MMA & Bomber type of macro/micro.
But, TLO is streaky so I guess 2nd place is up for grabs. Jim should advance unless he suddenly can't remember where his fingers are suppose to go on the keyboard

I work weekends, guess how many tournaments I see live? Don't be an ass.

I think this group consists of 2 underrated players (Jim, Kelazhur) and 1 a bit overrated (TLO). No bad feelings towards TLO, I really like him, but I feel it's more like people want to see him advancing than he is really able to do this.

I'll be rooting for TLO, hope he can advance. But it won't be easy.
