Madrid ended 1.5 weeks before the start of Stage 1 and Shanghai ends June 9th giving teams in Pacific exactly 5 days (until June 14th) to get their visas in order + fix mistakes meaning the teams who missed the events have 3-4 weeks to anti the teams that played in Shanghai mid event + get practice in while it's way harder to fix mistakes/practice during events. As Viewers this may be better for us but for players you literally have no room to make plans with family or take even a break for teams who qualified for both events or even one which is probably hell, Including that the formats for Stage 1 and 2 will be insanely shit.
