This is exactly what I was looking for to schedule my weekend in advance so I won't miss any of the action, thanks skully!

I heard somewhere the final was supposed to start at 10am which I thought was quite strange, mid afternoon is much better because it allows both aussies and americans to watch it.

What about closing times? have any prediction? Particularly on friday, around which time are the groups supposed to be decided?

Will group matches be streamed? Hope there is more than 1 concurrent stream for different matches as well, and in different languages as well such as russian and french

We have 2 streams on our stage (Ok, that's not true, but we have pcs to do casts on VTV2 like we would do a normal online cast), so the idea is to try and get as many games casted as we can, and this year, because you have the top 8 teams in a group, it makes finding games easier, other wise like last year we're looking at trying to cast a prem side against the closest skill team to them, which was hard.

With the entire group stage looking to be finished on the first day Im guessing we're looking at a midnight finish, maybe even to 1 am. As all games in the groups will be BO1.

Because we have the French over, we should be able to get a French cast going, however I think its unlikely that a Russian cast on site will happen, but as STVs will be available, the Russians are more than welcome to do casting at home of the groups and forward.

Having the final at this time as actually the "prime time" for events, and its a rough guide as other finals usually over run and then there are delays. HOWEVER the only final before TF2 is at 10am and is CS:GO so we may be fine with a 16:00 BST time, but add 30 mins and that may be the proper time

Will the whole group stage be played on Friday? Seems a lot of maps to play if it's starting at 7pm.

Wouldn't that be 3 maps?

Although I thought it would be 1 group of 8 and 7 maps, but that's too much.
