If you don’t mind me asking, What kind of better localize events?

This particular event did not have all gravitational wave detectors online. This means the uncertainty area is really big (aka a quarter of the sky). If you have all three detectors online as once you can get it to a much smaller sky area (~100 square degrees), as well as much more precise distance estimates.
