My favorite Weird Thing that happens is that commentators will stall for literally thirty minutes, but then eventually just give up and say "ah gently caress it let's just go to break." You're already in this deep, just keep going

stalling on air is incredibly hard and stressful if you've never tried to do it

40 minutes of it is frankly, very strong

The schedule is only a suggestion/estimate, they'll still get their break.

Having to play two high-stakes series in a row is stressful enough as it is, no way they don't give a team that win loser's finals a break before the grand finals.

It probably isn't their call to stall or not. They only know what comes in the earpiece or its just determined how long to stall for a technical problem ahead of time.
