May 21, 2023 - 7PM EST - Premier Playoffs begin

First match - 7:20PM EST

We lose, 8-13, but a well fought battle.

Second match - 8:00PM EST

We begin to load into the match and are waiting for all players to connect. Other team never connects, maps are auto-banned by the other team, and agents by other team are also auto-selected. Waited about 5 minutes for the game to actually load in, just to realize the other team disconnected and we won the game 1-0.

Third match - 9:20PM EST

Waiting for the other team in the bracket to finish their game. Begin to load into the match, waiting for all players to connect, again. Other team again has the map bans be auto-selected for them, as well as agent selection. Won the game 1-0.

Fourth match - 10:00PM EST

Begin to load into the match and the other team is responsive! They are banning maps, great! BUT, our fifth was unable to play after we have loaded in, and therefore, decided to ALT + F4, as there was no sense in playing a 4v5.

Wasted 2 hours waiting for an actual game to play, just to not be able to play any game at all. Only played one actual game since the teams we were going to face, disconnected and never loaded into the game. What a waste of time this was sitting around waiting to eagerly play, just to be faced with this.

Also, IMO, a replay system is needed if Premier is going to continue, as it would be beneficial for teams to be able to replay their matches and review the games.

Thank you.
