Why is everyone playing PCW:s so late?

This seems like an ongoing problem with my own team. It was the same in NS1 as well, could play a few PCW:s every now and then, perhaps once per 2 months because none of the teams wanted to play as early as we did. Whether it's a timezone issue or a cultural thing, I'd like to know why.
We (Anti-Camping Vegetables - »ACV«) played a pretty good season 4 considering we rarely did any practice at all, though we would want to change that! Are there any teams at all that would want to play around 16-18 CET? Seems like people prefer to play around 20-23 CET which is just not acceptable at all (Obviously speaking about European teams here.) Why so late though? Do you people ever sleep, got work to be done, school, what is this?
Or perhaps we're just in a really bad timezone where that one hour difference ruins everything.

And yeah I really don't want to be playing too late into the evening as I have work in the morning as well. I know what you're saying, but earlier isn't necessarily any more easy, either!!
That's exactly the issue with our team members as well. Early work hours, children and family taking a lot of time so we can't really play all that late. Shame really, can't get any practice at all and we're just getting worse and worse. Though always having fun, no matter what!
Unfortunately, that's already 21 for us Finns and most of our team members wakes up to work around 3-4am, need that beauty sleep! 19 is still doable though.
The fact is, after this, we won't play scrim or pcws only 1h max after our back. We need to dinner, to get some rest or just be relaxed for a while. Then, when we did everything we needed & wanted, it's time to maybe, practice. Between 20 & 21 CEST as you know. We have family, other stuff to do & NS2 isn't our priority, I'm pretty sure that won't change in the future.
Plus, we usually started to play at that time, we like to play some rounds before going to sleep. Play a game is for fun first, not an obligation or something. We want everyone motivated & happy to fight & 21 is the best time for this. That doesn't mean some of us won't have to wake up very soon the morning.
At least, I spoke for French guys & my team. By the way, we didn't practice since last March for Season 4. We only played officials (so considering that & our win, that's huge xD) as well but the reason is we didn't/don't have the time to train or practice. It's the summer & the holidays for now, most of the teams need some rest, some of them were disbanded, etc.
I guess it will start again around September and if, your bad timezone (CEST +1, that isn't really bad I think) can be boring, maybe teams can be ready to play around 20 CEST, that is 21 for you, and so, not too restrictive.
If I understand what you said, you, Finnish people are willing to play right away after going back to home? That's really different for us & that's definitely why it's super hard to play against your team.
See that was the cultural differences I was talking about. You guys eat your dinners soooo late compared to us as we usually do it straight after work or maybe an hour later (Around 17-18), then it's either gaming time or whatever you're doing with your family. No wonder we cannot get any PCW:s going during such times. :x
I really dont see 20 as late as it is the time people come back home or stop works usually in my relations... when we don't stop work 23.
Yeah my bad.
