"Brothers in Arms will be live for all players on June 27th"
"90 cards move into the Reserve pool on June 23rd."
This means that there will be a 4 day period at the end of season when people are fighting for top 6/38 for OCC where the meta will suddenly be turned on its head with the rotation and then immediately followed by the expansion dropping with 4 days left in season. This has happened just about every major patch, expansion and balance patch. Whether it's a few days before a tournament or in the final days of season (or the Breakthrough expansion where people got access to random expansion cards for the final days of season before the expansion fully released), it seems the competitive side of this game is not given any thought for release dates. Now I fully understand that a lot goes into planning patch dates and the esports community is a very very small section of this game, but all I ask is that more consideration be given in the future.

Dota 2 does it and I think it's fine.
Not that my takes matter but hey
It's interesting to see what the players are able to scrape together. Would make tourneys significantly more watchable despite seeing the same faces over and over again.

From a casual POV: having rotations happen at the start of month feels better anyway.
