Real question. Group A played on day 4?? It went Group B, C, D.... A Now third bracket... plays on day 4?? (Bracket 2, 1, 4, 3... strange order).
Is this Riot trying to respect NA fans and give us the match on the weekend? Is this just some stupid coincidence that they always get last day.

BigBellBrute2 votesWell it doesn't matter what day they're playing. I'm not staying up until 4 am eastern 1 pacific to watch them regardless.

Mazariamonti1 votesI'm just glad that this time they didn't have to play on the last day of group stages and then the first day of bracket stages.
ProfessorJanna1 votesthe chinese games get to play on the weekend for more viewers. and because thursday games for chinese arent as popular
MysterQ1 votesOk, that is an interesting way to look at it, thanks.
SciFi Scrivener1 votesIt's all about "eyes on the screen". Because of the horrible time difference for NA, I would be willing to guess that they adjust the schedule to give the NA fans the best chance to see the games live.
As a C9 fan I got up at ridiculous times to see my team play. I was very thankful for their week 2 Sunday schedule, and the game being this Sunday also. I'll be up and eating breakfast while I watch Impact take over.
