Why does Worlds start at 7pm EST when it's finally hosted in NA?

It seems odd, at least for the games on the weekend.

Because that's 4 in the pacific time zone, where worlds are actually being hosted.

Still late for an NA start time when it's scheduled for 6+ hours.

To put it around primetime in the local region. 4-10 PM is a really nice time slot to have for Riot. It sucks for us east coasters, but it's to be expected.

4-10pm is pretty late for the players. Seems like it would make more sense to play from like 1-7 or something.

It's almost exactly the time that NA usually plays at. Hell, it's later for the Friday games.
