I thought a rematch from the previous split finals was the kick off match? I was looking forward to the C9 vs TSM rematch.

I agree

A bit weird

Maybe they want to put it for Saturday due to more people watching Sat then Friday afternoon

They deemed that TSM was trash with its MSI performance, so they went with the next best teams.

Change is good no? While this may have been the recurring trend for quite some time it was never a mandatory start.

I get where you're going with starting with a hype matchup right out the gates which most leagues tend to pull. But doesn't this match normally deliver? It's still an upper half of the table (or often regarded) matchup with an amount of fans to back up viewership if that was a matter. Plus, it could grant TSM that removal of "starting split" pressure along with the gap of time between MSI to the Summer Split

They need to build the team around sneaky plain and simple or c9 will fail again. Sneaky is the most under rated player in NA
