Game Times (Riot why?)

#1

Can someone explain to me why it always says game is at 10PM MEST but in reality it always start at like 10:30
like is it that hard to start the game at consistent times? most people dont care about what the analysts have to say before the game, and even if they do you can just start the stream earlier. its super inconsistent man sometimes it starts at 10:15 sometimes at 10:45, it makes it impossible to prepare warm food or order food at the right time.
I really dont understand why they do it

first of all this is a completely VALID example. Like when i'm watching a movie i'm tryna get everything perfect with food ready so I cant be interrupted. Same goes when I'm watching VCT >:3

my bad, misread the post lol. Suppose the analyst bit gives insight to the matchup etc its normal. They should do what other esports do and do the analyst desk bit 15 mins before and start at the given time

yea if it's the second gae it's acceptable, because the first game might just take longer than what they anticipated but it's just unacceptable when it's on the first game
