Fuck why is it always early when good terrans are playing :x. Maru & Bunny I think, sOs is playing super bad lately and Keen is decent but Bunny has been hyped?

The only bad thing about it is that Friday night is a popular time to make other plans but I don't see how it's a failure. It's great for me. It's the only one that I can watch live with my sleep schedule. That's exactly what they set out to provide and it provides it.

GSL at NA-friendly times has had lower viewer numbers entire season

How does that affect whether the time is better for NA viewers or not? I feel like we're talking about two different things here. If you've got 5000 viewers who can watch at time Y and 2000 viewers that can watch at time Z, and you want to vary broadcast times so both groups of viewers get to watch some broadcasts live, the success or failure of that is based on whether both groups get to watch live. The viewer count of each particular broadcast is a product of the size of the groups. It's not an indication of whether or not you're succeeding.
GSL knows that there is an optimal time to do their broadcast. They chose to broadcast at varying times so that there's a greater number of people that get to watch a live GSL broadcast. Seeing varying viewer counts is not surprising or indicative of anything except of a fact that they already knew.
I think the success or failure of it is determined by the number of unique people that have watched GSL live this season. If it's higher than it would've been without varying the schedule, then they succeeded.

..yep, this and quite a bit lower tbh... ofc I get that my pov is "corrupted" of having difficulties to watch GSL on saturday super early morning and that many NA people can now watch it at a fair time but supporting evidence clearly shows that EU watchers double (and often triple) the NA one and, watching it from a marketing/incoming money/ads stuff pov it can be accounted only as a failed experiment, not a catastrophic one ofc but, imo, not something I'do again if I were in charge...
As someone who's had to watch GSL at 2:30/3:30 in the morning for the past 3-4 years, it's wierd to see people complaining about having only one good day to watch SC2. I mean, pretty much all NA people have had to watch GSL at bad times since pretty much the beginning of WoL.
Also, Go sOs!! We don't need five Terrans in the ro8
Who said NA-friendly time only has 5K. BS. I watch all GSL broadcast. We get at least 10K... Some 18K for herO group. And even more I think for the Death group recently.
