For example Snute. First he has to play TheSTC (he beat him quite confidently though) and after that Teaja. Then he has to go up against Stephano directly after that? Quite sick.
Yes they do, they did get a whole day of rest though since BYOC, shouldn't be too bad

On the first day all the other players need to play 4 games practically in a row, it's just one game more than that.

Well the others worked hard to get qualified for the group stages, so it shouldn't be too easy to get through the groups from the open bracket.

Yep. They'll get a break if the series are short, but their next game will be on the hour every hour.
It may seem a bit harsh, but the other people in the group had to play through a whole other tournament(s) to qualify, so them having an advantage doesn't seem too unfair.

But yesterday the rest of the players had to play 4 games in a row. I think 5 games in a row is reasonable for open bracket considering how challenging it was to qualify for the rest of the players.

I was thinking that too, but that's how the system works unfortunately...

At most they played 3 games in a row, and had a break between the other. I don't think it's a huge problem, but just saying, no one played 4 in a row yesterday.
Edit: Actually, most players didn't, but some (like theSTC) did, so ignore me.

Thanks for the great OP, I'm just studying for my exam and refreshing the OP to see what's being played and broadcasted, and tune in if there's a good matchup going on.

Whats the problem? These byoc guys didnt had to qualify
Through those other DHs. They went the easy Way.
