Just checked the server number. It's 71.
Both my teams have around 100 friends. There are very few matches of my friends scheduled in morning here (if you mean the time just after daily server operation). I also don't always log on early. So I don't have impression that I could not watch these matches which ran normally.
However, in my impression, in last 2 seasons, sometimes matches which were on my server and scheduled just after season day operation were not started on time. I also could not manage my team or cheer for friends. About 15 to 30 minutes later, these matches suddenly finished. I suspected matches could not run during special server operation and these operations ran for too long. Thus early matches could not run properly but have to be simulated.
Unlike above situation, in this morning, my match was not delayed to start. It seems to be simulated immediately when the match start time was arrived. Simulation was completed even 4 to 5 minutes earlier than a normal match run. This is looked very unreasonable.
Edit:
Just review Friend's fixtures of both my account. My match at 10:34am is the only match which is close to daily server operation. The next earliest friend's match was 45 minutes later. Probably, my match is an arrangement with a unknown special reason. Usually, teams with matches in these time slots are Asian or American teams. But my match at 10:34am was a Asian (Hong Kong) vs European (Italian) team.
