The LPL Spring 2020 will compete online from March 9
On official social media channels a few hours ago, Chinese Riot said the 2020 LPL Spring Tournament will return on March 9.
However, because the coronavirus situation has not shown any positive signs, the organizers have decided that all matches will take place in the online form.
Players and coaching staff will have 14 days from this time to prepare equipment, especially health checks before signing up for the tournament. Teams will compete in the online form and gather at their gaming houses to ensure safety and avoid contact with the outside environment. Some teams with players in isolated areas will have to suffer a little disadvantage.
Finally, the LPL’s English-language channels on YouTube and Twitch will be back on March 15. In addition, monitoring will still be conducted to ensure fairness and transparency for the matches.
It has been a month and a half since the organizers postponed indefinitely Week 2 of the LPL Spring 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in the world’s most populous country.
This is the first time a large-scale professional League of Legends like LPL has competed in the online format. So the organizers hope that the fans and the media will give their full support for the events to go smoothly.
“There may be unforeseen technical difficulties, but we will try our best to adapt to the situation. We hope to continue to bring all the exciting and exciting matches that have become the brand of LPL ”,
The LPL’s decision came from a request from the Shanghai municipal government, China’s esports center. Besides, MSI has also been delayed as the pressure to force the tournament to return as soon as possible.
