Hi everyone,

I plan a little random hero FFA cup that would take place on December 23. It would begin 10 am CET (4 am EST) and would conclude with the final at 00:00 CET (6 pm EST). The cup will be structured in a way, that you don't need to stick around all the time. I would say if you can make yourself available for at least 4h that day and the final, you are good to go.

More detailed information are going to follow. For now, I would need to know who wants to participate and, if you can already tell, when you are available that day.

Cheers,
Ho Ho Ho Hightac

Update: Since too many people here seem to have a real life still, it might be better to go with December 23.

I would love to take part in it although most likely won't play final because 0:00 CET is too late for me :)

If multiple finalists can't play at the 0:00 time, we may postpone it to 25 Dec

Well, its twofold.  Youre starting a tournament at 4am Eastern, 1am Pacific.  So east coasters like me and Eshan get like 2 hours of sleep, west coasters like Mog and Seksi get no sleep.

Also Christmas Eve / Christmas! Dunno if its different in Europe but I suspect most NA players will be with their families cause thats what ya do at Christmas in the US and Canada. Definitely cant be like "Hey nana gotta stop hanging out, playing some vidja games with my buds!"

I already changed it to Dec 23 and no one needs to get up early. If you make yourself available for some games during the day, you're alright. There won't be a game schedule.

Well, I didnt see the change.  Either way, was just answering your question :)  Youre certainly not obligated to accomodate 3 continents.

Did you know that Antarctica has 10 different time zones? It's a nightmare to accommodate that.

I was not aware!

So just to clarify.... if it starts at 4am est, but I can't show up for my first game until 9am est, I can still play?
