This is not me trying to shade the organizer for trying their best at keeping the scene alive, I will always support SC2 tournament for the sake of the esport and players. However, I do feel a trend going where tournaments are scheduled with conflict / inconvenience when it doesnt have to be. Now, maybe there are lots of things going into this like you said, so I have no idea what I am saying at all. But I do know that asking somebody to do do inter-continental flight 4 times in 2 weeks, plus the jet lag in between while asking them to perform at top condition is humanly improbable. Maybe this has happened a lots before in SC2 scene and that players are totally ready for it, so I guess I could be wrong again. You’re saying that you have no experience in scheduling tournaments and don’t have knowledge of the complexities that arise from hosting a live tournament with tens of thousands of dollars in prize money/ operational costs. Have you considered that of the two possible situations you mention, which of the two seems more likely to have occurred? There are dozens of hypothetical reasons why it “had” to be this weekend. We don’t know if any of them are true but I think we can both assume that in organizing a tournament there are going to be factors that will affect scheduling of the tournament. The alternative that you’re suggesting is that the tournament had no scheduling factors and that a decision was made to intentionally have it two weeks after DH. I don’t think you’re suggesting that Take wants worse games at his tournament or is trying to harm the players of a game that he’s ran over 20 tournaments for; what hypothetical reason could account for both the lack of scheduling factors and the intentional two week gap from DH to HSC? | ||

The scheduling is unfortunate not just from a jetlag timeframe but also from a we went almost 4 months with no offline events and now have 2 a couple weeks apart. That's not ideal for viewership or keeping players in top form. More events are always amazing news though. | ||
