There is no currently known release date for the battle, as can be seen by the lack of a release date beyond "August" on this page. Until we have better information, the countdown on the front page is meant to provide a very rough estimate of when the battle will come out, and is set later than usual so as to not cause visitors to think the battle is late.

tl;dr: No one said it's coming the 17th. It's the middle of the month and a safer estimate than predicting it earlier, which would cause people to think ERB was late when they never promised us anything beyond August.
