Lol yes. The irony of that it wasn't the actual snooker running past midnight. It was the fact that some Dhaka rally that was scheduled after the snooker apparently couldn't be cancelled. Because that apparently is more important than grand slam tennis.

The problem with said theory. Is nearly everyone who knows about Eurosport player will know they can just stream the matches for free elsewhere, and not be like a minute behind the live action either.

Actually, yes the Dakar Rally finish is more important than earlier rounds of Grand Slam. In motorsports there are few things more important, if any at all. Also Masters final in snooker is something like Grand Slam final in tennis

It's EuroSPORT, not EuroTENNIS, you know...

But whatever it is, is not even being aired live? How can it be that important if it's not being aired live? There is also no way British Eurosport (bare in mind British Eurosport is separate from Int'l Eurosport) are getting more viewers for the Dakar Rally than the tennis. It was a bad business decision.

Also that is terrible from Eurosport re-Doha. Not showing a P5 before the quarter finals is just

.

A quick question if ES isn't showing it will we still get streams via MCS or the other EU broadcasters?

I don't know about other EU broadcasting schedules because they also sound all over the place. There 100% will be streams from Day 1 Monday. TennisTV have coverage listed from Monday. Bet365 have streams listed from Monday. Local television (Al-Jazeera?) have coverage from Monday. There will be streams in the usual places if you do not have access to any of those directly.
