S 12 finalist profile:
The opening game of the 2022 global finals, at 4 am Beijing time, ISG kicked off in LLA and MAD kicked off in LEC. At first glance, this time is very early, which seems unfriendly to the audience in LPL Division, but don't panic.
Because the venue of the finals is in Mexico City, the time zone belongs to the West Sixth District, which is 13 hours later than Beijing time, which makes our RNG team's game time very friendly to our LPL audience, so we don't have to worry about getting up before waking up to watch the game, and we can watch the game freely when we just get up in the morning or while traveling.
