How is the first major LAN tournament going during quarantine?
Ihor MatusAlthough Riot Games is holding the League of Legends World Championship, they show that they want to comply with hygiene standards by all means and are taking preventive measures to avoid infection with coronavirus. The organizers put the teams at 10-meter tables, and the stage was significantly lengthened because of this. Each of the team members sits one and a half meters from their nearest teammates.
These rules did not apply to all people who came to the LAN championship. Analysts and commentators sit together in the studio and comment on what is happening, being side by side, without using masks. In addition, the landing of players with a distance of one and a half meters was also perceived with skepticism and irony, since after each game, esports players still get together to discuss what is happening.
Play-In stage matches have started in Shanghai today. The teams will share four invitations to the group stage between each other, where the teams are better and will continue their way of fighting at the 2020 World Championship. The League of Legends World Championship will take place from September 25 to October 31.
