At least two Esports Events have been cancelled in China due to the recent outbreak of Coronavirus in Wuhan.
The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) postponed its second week of the 2020 season. Until it “can ensure the safety and health of our players and fans.”
English casters Jake “Hysterics” Osypenko, Robert “Dagda” Price, Oisín “Penguin” Molloy, Clement Chu, and Joe “Munchables” are also expected to leave the country following the fear of an outbreak. None of the casters have shown any signs of symptoms yet, a report confirmed.
“We don’t really know the extent of how dangerous it is. But it seems like it could be a lot worse than people are saying. So we’re getting the fuck out of here,” Fenny said via a post on Twitter for cancelling Esports Event China Cancelled due to Coronavirus.
Also, WESG’s Asia-Pacific finals which were scheduled to be held in Macau in February have been cancelled, according to a post on the official Weibo account. Both of these organizers haven’t announced the revised dates for the competitions.
The coronavirus outbreak showed its presence in Wuhan City, China late last year. The virus since then has spread across mainland China and parts of South Asia. But the majority of cases have been reported in China’s Hubei province, where Wuhan is situated.
More than 700 people have died from the virus, which has been confirmed to spread from human to human contact. The Chinese government has since quarantined the city and its surrounding area, imposing a travel ban in the process. The travel ban will restrict the movement of 20 million people as reported by Vox.
Despite the spreading of the virus, it still isn’t a global health emergency according to WHO. “Make no mistake, this is an emergency in China,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director general, told Vox last week.
