There won't be a schedule for the group stage this year. In order to not make false promises, we tend to avoid definite stream schedules. We usually plan out a rough schedule, but this can change on the fly - and we don't want to be confronted with the rant if we go off the plan we have made. (this happens if the planned match either starts late or not at all, etc.)
On other news, the first 25 pending rosters are listed on the wiki now. If you signed up for any of these countries, please get in touch with your country's team creator as soon as possible.
While I understand this, couldn't you solve this by having the matches of a time slot listed in a prioritized list? If a match starts late, or doesn't start within some time, then you go down the list and show that match instead.
It's a bit of a bummer when some countries get no stream time at all while others might be on stream for all 3 of their group stage matches (Norway was on for 2 streams + the last map of our match vs. Austria, while they were not streamed at all outside their one map vs. Norway).
We have our own way to schedule the streams (I am in charge of that usually) and believe me that if a team has 3 matches streamed out of 3 is because at least 2 of the matches are in blocks of either 1 or 2 matches at the same time. Sadly there isn't enough time to stream everyone and our priority will usually be for the teams on lower seeds or most interesting matches. We could release a list of priorities in terms of scheduling but at the end, we might just change it on the flow so I don't think it's worth.
