Bad choice on the start time.

In the middle of the week starting it that late just ... doesn't get many viewers. I'm actually quite interested in watching a HOTS tournament with these high tier players, but I'd need to stay up until like... 8am or so to finish watching all the games, maybe. Even East Coasters, fellow Americans, likely won't be able to watch all of this due to it being on tuesday.

I really don't see how it couldn't have been earlier... Seems like the worst possible timeslot for a tournament based in America.

Yeah, I live in the US and this is too late for me to even watch the first game.

Oh no! I was all excited about this thinking it was about to start (7 eastern)... Looks like I won't be watching this after all; I need to be up at 5 for work tomorrow. Blah. At least the games tomorrow start earlier.

i'm really really interested in this but the TL calender just made me realize, that this event starts at 4 !!! in the MOOORNING over here in Europe and at very late night in the US. Kind of reminds me to that one NASL event which started 2 hours earlier i think (and that was already unbelievably late)... like this NASL thing i dont expect very much live viewers... BUT i hope there will be vods that i can watch =) i really wanna see that HoTs Tournament

Would be interesting to see how the Protoss players do. Was watching White-ra's stream and with 7 bases to 3 it was still nearly impossle to beat mass Warhounds late game. A full 200/200 zealot/archon maybe kills 1/4 of an army of warhounds, then you need to re-warp in and do it again... or use mothership vortex. I wonder if any Protoss players will change race for the tourny?
