Play-off Bracket Inaccurate

So, I am pretty sure that the first place team is supposed to play on Sunday not Saturday. I bring this up for a few reasons.

If people are buying tickets to games, this potential inaccuracy could create a situation in which people buy tickets to the wrong day and wind up watching a game that isn't the game that they want to watch.
If it is a mistake, it needs fixed.
If its not a mistake, honestly, they need to address that because for pretty much every split before now the first place team got to play on Sunday which actually conveys some pretty significant potential advantages. Changing that without some kind of statement seems odd to me.

Someone at Riot is super salty that 100 Thieves won 1st seed and not Echo Fox.[sg-lux-2]

Hi! The question here is whether the 1st place team should have one more day to prepare for the lowest seed, or one more day to prepare for the day in Miami. By playing a day earlier in the Semis the 1st place team has an extra day to prepare or rest - coupled with the extra prep time from the bye, it is meant to provide an advantage to the 1st place team.

As with most other things, we will talk to the teams at the end of playoffs and determine whether this was better or worse for the first place team and adjust accordingly for summer.

You need to seriously chill out. You are a rude obnoxious twat.
