It wasn't for any other reason; the fans simply wanted to watch their matches. If a match was forfeited, it meant one less broadcast.
The fans were furious. "We paid for the broadcast rights, not to be told a match was forfeited, alright? We want to see the competition!"
"If you don't give us the match between Chen Gu and Combat Rooster, we'll protest! We'll boycott! And we'll call on everyone not to buy the broadcast next year!"
Although it was likely just an empty threat, and they would still buy the broadcast next year, the uproar still caused the Alliance a major headache. So, the Alliance had no choice but to rearrange the schedule.
"Your Excellency!" an Alliance official quickly consulted the schedule. "If your schedule permits, we can arrange seven matches for you over the next week!"
