I have a laptop from Dell

Some people have laptops from HP

Some people have laptops from Apple

Some people have laptops from Sony

Some people have laptops from Acer

None of them seem to do too bad.

I cant watch any of them and 99% of the rest of the community has probably the same problem. They are playing games themselves at night.

This really sparks a query for me. Why the fuck do all “officials” have to be scheduled within a 15 minute timeframe – 21:00-21:15? Obviously it’s slightly more convenient, and for random league games there’s no point going out of anyones way, but it would be really nice to see big games (ESH finals, playoff finals when they happen, EMS finals, etc etc) played at a time when the community can actually watch it live without having to give up their own games. Could probably double the spectators for big games if this sort of thing was done, as 90% of people would still rather play a random PCW than watch a final, but again the majority of this group would probably watch if finals were played at a time when they had nothing much going on.

I guess it all comes down to the rigid schedule that is for some bizzarre reason seen as the law, where the only time a mid+/high pcw can occur prior to a game is 20cet, but that in itself seems pretty retarded tbqh, as the majority of teams that obey this structure spend 19cet-20cet dicking about on deathmatch servers or adding to pickups – basically just killing time that could be used far more practically.

When was the last time you saw FB in a game that was even close to what I described?

Part of the reason i am relying on the VoD’s and the stream recordings from comedian is due to playing games whilst most of these matches are on.

It’s painful because i want to see some of these games and help support the community but everyone plays games between 1900CET and 2100CET so i can never watch :/.

Wasnt really the intention how i wrote the post. You cant really force prem/div1 players to play at other times. They have the same time available as the rest of the players. I was more thinking about vods or stv/mumble to replay at times that sweet you.

Yea I know it wasn’t your point, but it just provoked the question for me.

The reason most people are “only available at that time” is because that is the schedule they limit themselves to. Most people don’t go to bed for some time after they get done at 22.30, the reasoning is little more than dogma.

Take the American scene. Granted it is an overall worse scene than ours, but their match scheduling is far more spectator friendly. They have about a quater of the players europe has but they get just about the same amount of spectators. Why? Because half the community isn’t always playing games at the same time as big matches.
