Even if a lot of tournaments are 8 hour days and 1/2 to 2/3 of that is downtime. There pretty much won't be any in this format else the event would be too long. IEM Katowice played 8 bo5s in a day and it took 11+ hours iirc. But I will say that having the biggest event of the year over in a day is pretty anti hype. Compared to other esports at least. | ||

Edit: It is holiday also in France Well for most EU country the match are gonna be during of hours right? The first round of 8 matches probably won't but they were always on Friday anyway. But if the lasts few matches run late it's gonna be super late for you guys. Also it's cruel twist of fate, that of all the tradition at Blizzard runing an event on a friday is the one that stayed. | ||

Blizzcon is an 8 player single elimination bracket, there’s no reason to cram it all into one day. | ||
