Obviously it was very convenient this time but now in LA, I fear hours are going to be a whole different story for the EU. Are we talking about middle of the night live games? I remember in Tokyo games started at 5 or 6 am which I guess was reasonable.
I disagree, Tokyo was way better as I could sleep through the morning sessions which usually are just qualifiers or heats and then watch the important stuff at work in the morning. There were only a few times I had to stay awake or wake up early to see something I really wanted to see.
In LA all the important stuff will happen in the middle of the night, which means I will basically not sleep for 2 weeks or fall asleep at work.
