I can kinda understand why riot waits a week between quarters and semis most of the time because well they travel (ignoring the fact that this isn’t the case this year). What I don’t get is why they aren’t using this time to build up anticipation. I’m not saying full blown production or anything, just like get 4 caster to represent the four teams and to give you an hour each on why they think their team will win it all. Maybe on the fifth day you have them all face off like that old show with quickshot. Something that can be done entirely over zoom.
TLDR: you can take a week off from games but not from game related content.
I actually like the idea of two semis one day then a break and then finals. We’d probably see much more competitive games with out icing the teams for a week with subpar practice at best going into finals.
