Do you think the players already know who they're facing off against?
Or might this be deliberate to prevent excessive preparation by the teams? So they're basically facing each other blindly.

doubt they know even by now

They do this every year it is intentional
They don’t announce groups until ~48 hours before first matches

I could catch one or two series because they start at 9 p.m. ET for me. Probably won't catch the finals because they're scheduled at 2 a.m. At least I don't have work or school yet which means I can afford to be a bit sleep deprived.

I also made a fraisier cake because I have way too many strawberries. https://imgur.com/a/JMTNs94

Pretty sure your reason is correct.

I definitely try to do all those things but I never end up having an impact with it whereas I always get slaughtered by those brewlings against it.
