...Okay. What the fuck.
First of all, please note that I'm totally objective in this, as I don't really care about the outcome of this owc. (Germany doesn't stand a chance anyways, and my time will be owc 2014.)
All I see in this thread is people pointing fingers at others, blaming others and complaining, but no real suggestions how to make it better.
All in all, I don't understand why so many people don't want the matches to be scheduled. Having scheduled matches make it easier for streamers, commentators etc to plan ahead (as kriers already said).
I can understand people get upset if match schedulers mess up (setting matches outside of the timeframes provided), but just coming here and complaining and saying everything's bs doesn't make sense either. Instead, talk to the schedulers, explain they did a mistake, and if they don't (want to) understand, talk to the owc staff. You will find a solution if you really want.
And saying the owc staff tries to get an advantage by manipulating the outcome of the matches seems like a totally unfounded accusation. Why would they want this? In the end, we're all trying to have fun one way or another, be it by being cometitive or playing just casually, and this owc is supposed to test which country is best at this game. There's no sense in manipulating this IMO.
You know, being friendly sometimes helps a lot to find solutions for problems, accusing others and insulting will have the opposite effect.
I see no reason in this discussion, really.
