I think Ritz is at fault for not putting much effort in foreshadowing Shizu as more than just ordinary player.
As for the anime studio, they seems to have no idea about future material when they made the first 12 episodes so like us viewers they too were under the impression that Achiga is underdog team struggling against the champion without any knowledge of Shizu's true potential. The proof of that is how they have no arm rest prepare for Yuu to spot Sumire's tell, and they switch Shiraitodai members' sitting possition at the end of ep. 12 in the Blu-ray/DVD to match the manga. So in the end, it's mostly Ritz's fault for lack of communication with the studio on the specific plot points, or maybe she hasn't finish planning how the rest of the match will turn out which includes Shizu's ability.
