Am I the only one who finds ewc a little bit scripted ?
It takes place in France and every French teams are qualified or about to. I watched their games (VIT-NRG, PRX-KC and M8-NS) and something seems off on the side of the non french organisations, especially for PRX and NS.

It's probably mostly a matter of timezone i'd wager. Even if they have been there for a few days, you don't change your circadian rythm so easily. In the asian team's bodies, it's very late when they play, while emea teams are playing at their peak time.
