That looks to be indeed the case. Honestly this is quite bad, this means that tomorrow's loser basically will have no opportunity to prepare for another match in loser bracket, while teams like Liquid will have a huge advantage.
to be fair, there is not much to prepare. and they can always prepare today knowing that there is a possibility they end up in the lowers bracket. Its not like if they win, they have to play in the uppers right after. Only have to prepare for one match in lower.
Agreed. No use rushing things. For all we know the problem could be out of Riot’s control and with an Amazon or Microsoft server that they use for the game. Wait until this is for sure fixed as best of possible and not just crossing your fingers hoping for the best.
