It starts at 17:00 GMT tomorrow. That is 18:00 in the UK (BST = GMT+1) .
correct me if im wrong its 17:00 in england and 18:00 in holland (londen is +0 GTM)
GMT does not equal BST (British Summer Time = Daylight Savings).
GMT is fixed. It never moves. However the UK deviates each summer from it.
BST = GMT+1.
During the winter UK uses GMT, and in the summer it uses GMT+1 (aka BST).
Rule to remember: Central European Time is ALWAYS 1 hour ahead of the UK, regardless of the time of year. So if its 18:00 in the UK, its 19:00 CET.
So, when the clocks in the UK move on 1 hour and thus starts to use BST during the summer instead of GMT, then Europe moves 1 hour on as well (CET + 1).
Therefore, as the UK and Europe is using daylight savings, if the game is due to start at 17:00 GMT, then it starts at 18:00 in the UK, and thus starts at 19:00 CET
doesnt ur pc calculate it in the time summer and winter time. coz last time i checked it did
Yes but not every PC in the world is using GMT. Like I said, those PC's in the UK are currently set to GMT+1 (BST) and those in Europe are using CET+1. Which is the equivalent of GMT+2.
The point is, bearing in mind that the UK isn't currently using GMT, people possibly are expecting the early access to start at 17:00 UK time tomorrow (BST). When its actually going to start at 18:00

It's 1 PM EST cause of daylight savings time. Currently EST is GMT - 4. It is GMT - 5 when it's not daylight savings.
ohh 9am damn means no sleeping in. I'm going to get up early and have coffee made and ready to go at 9am.
