I have to agree that these times are not even close to great for any working person in North or South America. That's 2 Continents excluded from the event. Every other region has a chance to participate at a decent time EXCEPT for the America's. And as was stated, to make matters worse, they are giving away event items.
This happened with the Beta Tournament as well. When it was a "Best of 3" tournament, America couldn't even play on Friday whcih would have been auto forfeight for many Corps due to the fact that the time was when we are all at work / school. had to beg for it to be moved to Saturday, of which was done only cause of a large thread and begging and pleading due to an entire region having to forfeight.
We understand that certain things will happen at certain times and it just works that way. You had to be playing at XYZ time to be there. We get that. But to always do stuff at a time when you know an entire region will never have a chance to participate due to Work / School / Sleep, so they are never given a chance to be in those events is just perplexing.
So yeah, I agree, why couldn't it be moved 1 day, then everyone would have a chance to play or make it 24 hrs. |

Also, seems like there's enough time for most of the US to get in on the first battles in the morning.
not even most.
EST - 9 AM = Im already at work / school
CST - 8 AM = Im at work / school
MST - 7 AM = Im driving to work / school
PST - 6 AM = Im on the bustop / waking up to get ready for work
tell me again how MOST of america can make the first battles

14:00 GMT is 01:00 here. 1am.
I'm nocturnal, so for me, this is GREAT. For the rest of the country, and Australia at GMT +10, not so much.
Even though this isn't an issue that's hitting me hard, +1 to the OP, and +1 to the explanation of why it was "Americas" and not "America".
Contracts end at 22:00 GMT = 8:00 AM ON SATURDAY which still isn't bad since you know the event is coming and can plan for it - can even stay up late if you want since it's SATURDAY
For America, the event starts on Friday, Ends on Friday and is in the middle of the day. So not even a fighting chance |
