Recently, the General Administration of Sports of China issued Decree No. 102 regarding the resumption of sports activities, notably announcing a STOP to all INTERNATIONAL EVENTS until the end of 2020. Domestic events are also under strict control, including regulations tightening border entry. – According to Korizon Vietnam reports.
This has left League of Legends fans in a state of confusion, as it sounds like the announcement of the cancellation of the 2020 World Championship. It seems that fans of League of Legends in Vietnam are extremely hopeful, as comments about bringing the World Championship to the S-shaped country have flooded social media.
According to some sources from ESPN, the giant in the sports broadcasting field, Riot is expected to organize the 2020 World Championship in a format that gathers all teams in a single area, and the entire tournament will take place there. The venue is still Shanghai, and the 24 teams participating in the World Championship will “eat, sleep, and compete” in League of Legends all in one place for several weeks, and even contact with the outside will be restricted.
This represents a significant setback because, according to the original plan, the World Championship was supposed to be held in 6 different cities across China. Hopefully, Riot Games will come up with the most suitable plans to ensure that the biggest tournament of the year, the 2020 World Championship, proceeds smoothly while ensuring the health and safety of all participants.
