Riot's scheduling pisses me off

Every time it's my days off or I have a break there's no VCT games. The next block of games doesn't start until my break ends. On days I'm working I can't watch anything except one EMEA game and that's only during regionals. How does anyone above the age of 18 watch this game consistently enough to stay on top of everything? Long breaks, weird match times, it's all fucked.

Yeah I'm lucky enough that I can watch most of Pacific & the first map of the first EMEA game at work most of the time. Then I get home in time for the second half of map 2 and can watch the second game too before playing a bit.

Fri/ Sat I stay up late to watch the Americas games most of the time

Exactly. Except for crazy moments, there's no sense of thrill or all the emotions you feel from watching live.

riot should cater their schedule to people that specifically have mondays and tuesdays off. Dont know who came up with the idea to play them on weekends, when notoriously most people work.

They still do games on weekdays during work times. Now that I'm off there's a random break of no games. The schedule is scattered and if you have a normal work life you aren't keeping up with the games at all.
