Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the LCK initially reverted to broadcasting without a studio audience in February. This was followed by a complete suspension<\/a> from 2nd March.<\/p>\n

Both the LCS and LEC have also adopted an online format<\/a> in light of the virus, after they similarly briefly postponed to figure out how they’ll adapt to the situation.<\/p>\n

A number of other esports tournaments have been affected by the virus, including FGC events like the Tekken World Tour<\/a>, the Rocket League World Championships and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
