esport tournaments delay

Why esport events never start on time? I have been watching esports for as far as back in 2013 but there is rarely any that actually start on time. Imagine a football match delay for 30 mins. Is it that hard to get everything tested and ready the day before?

its js that the bigger the event the more unknown things can happen on that day and therefore delay . I've taken part in local sg lan but there wasnt any delay because it was a small event
