Re: AoE3 Global Championship Conclusion // This Weekend!
The football-EM final is on Sunday at 19GMT. Is it possible to choose a better time for the Pro Division final?

Re: AoE3 Global Championship Conclusion // This Weekend!
So the semi-finals games have already been played long ago, I saw some potential spoilers the other day and I hope they were not true.. that is what happens when the stream gets super delayed people just cant stop talking. Lets hope for some great games!

Re: AoE3 Global Championship Conclusion // This Weekend!
Okay, on the one hand it's good that the pro division final is not at the same time as the eurocup final, but on the other hand I think starting to stream at 2100 GMT (2300 in Europe) is also quite late for a Sunday... Planning could have been better imo
Re: AoE3 Global Championship Conclusion // This Weekend!
Agreed.
Although this might be an impossible goal considering the advent of aoe4 anyway, I feel this is also symptomatic of the hurdles when trying to attract more viewers for AoE3. Whereas aoe2 tournaments are usually streamed during prime time EU hours, in AoE3, this level of professionalism hasn't been reached yet. Although afaik most Aoe3 viewers are from European countries, the grand finals of the biggest tournament in a while will unceremoniously take place at 23:00 in central european time. Viewer records will probably not be broken.
I'm not saying this to criticize anyone (I'm not a paying customer and most people organizing the events are just unpaid volunteers), but it is just some food for thought if the goal is to grow the viewership. Even 19 GMT (which is 21:00 for European viewers e.g. in France, Spain, Italy or Germany, on a Sunday) is a bit late IMO.

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with the planning it’s just a lose/lose situation

Re: AoE3 Global Championship GRAND FINALS TODAY
Why wasn't the final just scheduled for 17-18 GMT?
That way it would have easily be done before the start of the Europe Cup final.

Re: AoE3 Global Championship GRAND FINALS TODAY
I thought it was going to be a BO7. With 17-18 GMT I meant GMT+2, so a start of the series roughly 4 hours before the finale would have been nice.n0el wrote:a best of nine starting an hour before euro? so people can miss the end of the series?aaryngend wrote:Why wasn't the final just scheduled for 17-18 GMT?

That would make it 15-16 GMT+2.
Anyway, the best course of action would have been to either start early enough to get in the matche in time OR to postpone the date.
As Astaroth said, all schedules should be based on european viewers. Americans have it easier to adjust to european schedule than the other way round.

Re: AoE3 Global Championship GRAND FINALS TODAY
Are you sure about that? I think someone else said a while ago that most viewers are actually from Europe.n0el wrote:Why should it be based around European schedules? There’s more American viewers than European.
Even if America has more viewers: easier for them to adjust to EU times than the other way round.
Drongo also decided to adjust his times so the maximum amount of viewers can wach his streams in comfortable timeslots.
