The group stage at OSPL Spring 2011 will be kicking off Saturday, to some a lot earlier than others.
First matches in the group stage will be started at 10:30 local time in Almaty, which equals 06:30CEST (a time difference of four hours), meaning you will have to either stay up or get up early to watch Natus Vincere, the double IEM champions, in action.
The event will take place at the Omega Sector LAN center, where the group stage, semi-finals and third place match will take place.
The Grand Final, which will be played Sunday, will take place in the ballroom at the Almaty Towers. Below is the schedule of the tournament, so you can plan how early you have to get up, or how late you have to stay up, in order to watch the games.

At the moment only two HLTV has been allowed in the network, another two should be allowed before games start, but just to be on the safe side, we have secured the HLTV's to be on k23 and Na´Vi matches.
