Ignited Week 1 MSP sets expire this Friday?

So I just noticed that the Week 1 MSP's for the Ignited event expire this Friday. I thought this was weird and so I checked Sleeves' video (at around 14min 26sec) and he shows how the timer is set for two weeks for the Week 1 MSP's. Is this an intentional change or...? It certainly puts more pressure into making MSP's immediately at the first week and not waiting around for week 2, stacking resources. So if week 1 has someone you like, you now seemingly have to make them immediately.  And it also forces one to use event cards immediately for sets, making it so that the week 2 objectives take just as long as week 1 since you will have to burn all of your event cards for week 1 if there's anything there you like.

Would be nice to get some clarification on this as this can have an impact on players who have limited resources.
