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

Riot manage to schedule the NA LCS for 8pm UK time on weekends in the US, which is far more reasonable than 11pm like they have done with WCS, as it means it's viewable in the US and Europe, or at least half of it is (now they have gone to 5 games)
There's pretty much zero reason to schedule WCS so late on a Sunday when you are making it unfeasible for half the audience to watch it.

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?

I'm sorry EU has to deal with a single tournament being at a bad time. I"m sure it must be hard for you to watch every other event ever at a decent time. I can't imagine the struggle of havign to stay up till *GASP* 11PM to watch a tournament.

Hmm, I don't think you get the point, don't just look at your own situation. The point is that if the broadcast was a few ours earlier more viewers would be attracted.

Don't you think it would be better if the broadcast was a little earlier? Same amount of American viewers, more Europeans. That said there's Asian viewers to consider too of course.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Maybe they have more passion than me. For me it's fine since I just skip those groups and pretend they never happened. :o

@Penev: I think US and European viewers are both 50/50 or so, maybe a tad more Europeans. I wonder about Asian viewers though, I think only China has many. But how many is it? I think I saw a pic from yesterday where the Chinese stream had over 50k viewers, if I interpreted the icon right. So if there's indeed that many, then the scheduling makes sense.

edit: 65k even. link Could also be just views though, but the icon looks like viewers.

its weekend, is it that hard for Blizzard to start maybe 3 hours earlier to accommodate both NA AND EU?

whose studio are they playing at....? someone else has the venue booked or something that why it has to start 3PM PST, 6PM EST?

in the states sports on weekends like NFL Football on Sundays are broadcasted nationally starting at 10AM PST, 1PM EST so its not like North Americans dont watch stuff earlier than what Blizzard has chosen

Polt should go out in first place. Hopefully he's able to play a macro game vs Jim, as I think that would be very cool. He should be able to crush Kelhazur in TvT, though he might struggle vs TLO in a macro game considering how bad he has looked vs zergs recently. Then again he beat Sen 2-0 at IEM Taipei so maybe he's fixed his problems in that matchup somewhat. I honestly wonder why Polt doesn't go back to using the TvZ builds that let him win MLG and 2 WCS AM finals all vs Zergs.

I think Jim will get out second, as I lost my faith in TLO a long time ago. I hope we get to see 3 matches from Jim vs all the players in the group, as I love watching his crazy playstyle.

Polt 2-0 Jim
Kelhazur 2-1 TLO
Polt 2-0 Kelhazur
Jim 2-0 TLO
Jim 2-0 Kelhazur

I'm never quite sure what to think about Jim. He's taken down great players sometimes and other times he seems extremely overhyped. I just went with Polt and TLO in liquibets

Yes divide the number you see on Douyu by 5 and you get the actual viewer number.

Actual Chinese viewers for yesterday should be a bit over 10k, but still good considering the time.
