So if I'm 11+ GMT it'll be like midnight for me kinda?
Yea that is correct, and with the current number of participants (5 players x 8 groups) your last match, even if placed in the first group would be anywhere between 2AM to 3AM. If we go to the other extreme (and have matches as LATE as possible) the games would begin somewhere between 19GMT->21GMT being 6AM or 8AM your time.
I know these times can suck for peeps on the extreme east or west looking at from EU, but this is the best way (so far I've discovered) to reach as many as possible players around the globe.

From the information I have received, the first match will be started at 13.00 GMT and will go until midnight at latest.
What does this mean? It means that the first match of the tournament will start at 13.00 . But it doesn't mean that you will have your first match EXACTLY on 13.00 . tbag himself will adjust a reasonable schedules with your timezone(s). The workload we(referees and staff) received ourselves covered 11 hours. That should be more than enough for every timezone(s).
By the way tbag, how do you gonna do if participants in the same group have too much time difference? This is the first time I'm reffing in your tournament so I'm just curious.
Anyway, what I said above might not be 100% correct. But I have to say something here just in case that you're thinking of withdrawing from the tourney. So don't be hasty about things.
I didn't find anything wrong in your message, latest group to start their matches (Group F last time) started at around 18:30GMT.
Simple enough, that's why I am using a pool ranking before drawing ppl into their final groups. The players from US for example will automatically be placed in the later starting groups filling their pools slot in that group, while Asian players will be placed in the earlier groups filling their pools respective slots in them. Europeans can pretty much be placed in any group.
