Why are there two streams instead of one long stream for NA LCS?

Why do we have to choose which games to watch (two games streaming at the same time) instead of one long stream on the weekends? Having one long stream would allow more people to watch live (longer window) and for viewers to see more games (current max of 50%) live. This seems pretty obvious to me, what are the reasons for having two streams?

because imagine being the players or the casters? having to do 4 best of 3s back to back to back to back. possibility of 12 games, taking 12 hours or more with the intermissions and champ select time. instead its only 6 hours. if you want to watch the other game they have vod's available pretty quickly afterwards

I dont understand the need of watching two gaming streams at the same time. All you literally have to do is pick one of the two to watch live, then after that stream hop on to a replay of the other stream you weren't able to watch. Like watching a replay you've never seen before, and a live stream won't reveal any spoilers, or take away the excitement of the games.
