yea its 7pm for SG and 9pm for AU now, which i feel is the best timings possible. its just harsh for NZ but we will have an earlier qualifer for them too, and probably 1 or 2 weekend ones.
does the tournament start latest by 7 pm? i really want to join but i dont know if i will make it home in time. also in the event that one does not participate is there a penalty of any sort?
be so awesome if, like, one time, these were run at an earlier time for aus/NZ
not to worry, the other qualifers will start earlier, as we need to cater to the NZ population too.
deneb walkover time is 15 mins as standard
as for starting after 7pm sgt its partly to accomodate the SEA population who only can reach home at 7pmsgt. we are basically following the CO format whcih we had over 50 tourneys starting a 6-7 sgt so far. Basically we want to integrate the COs with our major tournaments but taking into consideration this is the SEASL#2 we will have a weekend tounrmant that starts early as well to accomodate the different regions / working population, just like we had for SEASL#1 as well!
Devils advocate.. 7pm SGT is also 7pm WA time..
If you are a scrub office worker like me.. you knock off at 5pm then spend the best part of an hour in transit, get home smash some feeds and resign for the evening.. 7pm is ideal :P
As stated later qualifiers will cater to different timezones.. maybe chill back a bit if you cant roll well onto this one?
