After the duels are over, can we please watch a Group A vs. Group B type TDM or CTF?

People might think Group B would win, but I would like to see that played out. C'mon, how hard would it be to do? A Allstars vs. B Allstars, 10,000 euros winner(s) takes all!

Highly unlikely imo. The top 3 in group B will be focussed on the playoff games, and won't care where they place in the group (so long as they advance).

Edit: I should rather say "less likely than you think", because 1/3 is not quite "highly unlikely" :P

they will change this, right? Or let someone else stream the missing matches.

atm, they don't show ANY of the deciding group stage matches in QL. Only the couple first ones, which won't tell you who advances. lol.

the distribution of the games over the days is so annoying.

tuesday: 15 matches
wednesday 15 matches
thursday: 2 matches (+IFNG) [haha, intel friday night game on a thursday, haha]
friday: 2 matches
saturday: 2 matches

it's stupid enough to have all the group matches played on one day, because this usually means that we can't even watch half of them.

Combining this with the fact that on the other days, however, there are so few matches that we're left wanting more and even the casters are like 'oh, that's it already for today, lulz', this is just plain wrong.

the least they should do is make the playoffs DE, this would only mean ~ 5 additional matches. These could easily be played on the 3 non-groupstage days.

No kidding, reminds of those old Quake tourneys that would have like one match a day.

Also, ESL has two streams, plus HLTV so 1.6 can fuck off, but we go almost 4 hours with no Quake being broadcast on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not that I was planning on staying up every single night to watch, but there will be no VoDs, and I imagine demos won't be going up soon after.

Get the B-Stream going on that shit, don't even need shoutcasters, just pull some kid out of the crowd and offer him smokes to hit the Spectate button after every round.

I bet there will be a large delay due to some kind of Quake Live website technical difficulties. It wouldn't be a Quake tournament without one.

Why does it start on Tuesday? Many people will be unable to watch. They study or work. I don't understand this strange decision. Some people will only see the bronze final and the grand final on Saturday, although funny enough, in my country Saturday will be a workday this week... :)

What is the reasoning behind it? Isn't it possible to at least shift the shedule towards the evening, so that people who came back from uni\work could watch?

Yeah, don't think they've taken in to great consideration how available they are making themselves to the community.. it limits the potential business quite largely.
