Why is Worlds held so "late" (for some people)

CrazFight ··5 votes·1,086 views

Ive seen many people complain about "Omg i want to watch worlds but its at 1 am, riot thats so dumb".

Let me explain this, this year worlds is held in China. In china it will be around 2-3pm when worlds is held.
So its more convenient for worlds to be at that time, why the heck would china change there whole schedule to accommodate the other side of the worlds need. Like guys its just common sense... stop living in you bubble.

i just watched 2 of them today, live is better ofc but its hard to not see who won before hand which is pretty annoying

That is true, but im sure that last year when it was held in the US, the chinese had the same problem of it being spoiled. Its just something you have to deal with . There is no fix .

It would be nice if they made the results less IN YOUR FACE when you go to find a vod of each game. Really just needs an extra click for "results"

I had watched the first two, then to avoid spoilers just used the mobile event vod subreddit (carefully) to watch them through YT.

Over time I just never get spoiled because I can just not check Reddit, my League client, and why would I use that thing called the Lolesports website?

I finally have a reason to wake up early.

I am from central Europe so it is 7 am for me. It is kinda exciting. Didnt have to time my alarm since I finished school 2 months back.

This is actually bullshit. If they held the event in the evening over there instead of the fucking afternoon, more people might actually be able to see the event without having to be up at obscene hours

Dude, don't complain, you have no right, it's riots choice; they do the same for the U.S, 2PM, 2PM, 2PM.

Yes, none of us PAYING CUSTOMERS who PUT THE GAME WHERE IT IS TODAY have no right to complain when the event we look forward to all year is basically impossible to watch because of the abysmal schedule setup. But no, go on about how 2PM is fair in all timezones.

Are you saying there are no paying customers in china and korea?

Stop being so self centered. Out of curiosity, can you even locate China on a map?

Nice ad hominem. I know China and Korea also pay, but that's no reason to completely shaft people over here. If they started at 5 or 6 PM over there, we could set our clocks early and just wake up in time to see it

So you're saying you want the players to have to play until midnight to revolve around your schedule?

I'm still struggling to find a reason why they should cater to you.

You also didn't answer. Can you even locate China? ;)

Fuck it, your stupidity isn't even worth wasting time over at this point

Rofl. I'll take it that you actually dont have a good reason why they should cater to you as well as not being able to find China on a map.

Great debate skills :). Why actually pose an argument when you can run away instead

Right, yeah, cause your point is TOTALLY valid to what I said; just listen, it's held in a different region, you want to make the LOCALS who PAY MONEY to watch the games have availability to go watch them in person, Time zones are a thing, you can't DO anything about them, BECAUSE THE SUN SHINES AT DIFFERENT TIMES, DIFFERENT POINTS ACROSS THE EARTH. It's NOT an abysmal schedule, You're just upset because you don't get everything handed to you on a silver FUCKING platter.

They run a full re run at a better time for us here in NA. I watched the Rerun of the first round. When it is running, the link is on the main page so you don't have to access the page that tells you who won like you do to get to a vod. Also it gets posted on You tube.

It's not the same as watching it live. The entire time you're watching all you can think about is how "This shit was hype as fuck when it actually did happen, and I'm literally watching an echo of it"

Kanzler2 votes

Then watch it live if it matters so much to you. Timezones are a thing.

If you don't know who won it's exactly the same. You're being completely unreasonable.

If people are complaining about this then they need to stay in school and learn about time-zones.

Iowa.

Hehe...funnily enough Iowa has the highest graduation rate from high-school students in the U.S...

But yeah not teaching time-zones.... :\

C4bal1 votes

i hear ya. in EU its: either watch it at 10:30 AM on a WORKDAY, or watch the rerun at 10pm-4am ON A WORKDAY. i know timezones cant be changed, but at least they could have the rerun start earlier or something like that. starting it at 10pm is completely unreasonable. or make it a video you can play (play-back), and have it start around 6pm, so people who come later can still watch it from the beginning. feels like they just totally forgot about europe. but what else is new.
