The upper bracket started on Jan 16th a thursday, and followed on the next day.
Then we get the second games of upper on the 18th and 19th, which is fine, as teams had 1 day to prepare for the next match after winning/knowing who they are facing.
At this point we've estabilished that games happen from thursday to sunday.
Then we get the Lowers first round on the 23rd and 24th which again is fine, its an elimination match and all teams get at least 3 full days for preping.
But this is where the fuckery starts, because we have no games on saturday or sunday for the second week, so the teams that won the second round of upper (Loud, Sentinels, Lev and G2) go up to 13 days whithout playing.
Then on a friday (no reason for it not to be thursday), the 31st, we get the Upper round3 that we should have gotten the previous saturday.
Next, on February 1st we get Lowers round2, and on the 2nd we get lowers round3, so teams that go through lowers play 2 days in a row, and teams that came from upper went 13 days without playing and then only have 1 day in between matches.
On the next thursday, we got round 4 of both upper and lowers, followed by lowers final on the 5th/friday and the grandfinal at the 6th/saturday.
Why not make the lower final (last game that matters for qualifying) at the saturday, giving teams one day to prepare, and the grand finals on a sunday?
Teams that went 13 days without a match might have to play 2 bo3 and 2bo5 in 5 days.
Riot please, make it make sense.
