Since S8, the League of Legends S tournament has truly become a Sino-Korean war between the LPL and the LCK, three of the four champions are from the LPL, one is from the LCK, especially S11, EDG five games to fight Samsung and DK, the bloodiness of the game is directly full.
From the winter turn of S12 this year, the next battle between the two divisions will only be more intense, probably because of the 2022 Asian Games, a number of LPL clubs have invested heavily in reinforcements, many clubs in the LCK side are also a big change, compared to the investment of other division teams, this year seems to be another year of The Sino-Korean War.
However, before the real battle had begun, bad news was frequently reported from the LCK side. First of all, the DRX team, on February 3rd, DRX official blog released the news, in addition to the ADC player Deft, the single Zeka, the auxiliary original brother, the road Kingen, the wild Pyosik new crown test all positive, the first five people left only one, the other four players all need to be isolated.
Shortly after the DRX team announced the news, the NS team also had a number of first infections, ghost emperor, Bdd, Peter, and SBS supervision confirmed, just today, NS official Bo also announced that the player Efort Li Xianghao was also diagnosed with new crown.
Half of the spring games have not even arrived, there are nearly 10 LCK players and staff diagnosed, and many are very strong players, not to mention the S Tournament or the Asian Games, the spring games of these teams are probably going to be sent.
Why did LCK clubs have such a serious outbreak of infection in such a short period of time? Isn't South Korea still a positive example of epidemic control in 2020? How did it pull so quickly?
The situation that LCK is in today is still inseparable from South Korea's epidemic prevention policy. Some time ago, the official caliber was still co-existing with the new crown, and then it became a strengthening of prevention and control, repeated jumps caused by management and not in place, even if the control is strengthened, now the entire South Korea has reached a daily increase of nearly 50,000.
The above management is not strict, the LCK epidemic prevention is also very lax, they even opened the offline viewing.
You know, China's epidemic prevention has done a good job, but the LPL new season is still not open to offline viewing, and the south Korean epidemic is so serious, entertainment stars have nearly 60 people diagnosed, the result of LCK control is not as strict as the LPL, it is not surprising that this situation is now happening.
However, although the starter is ill, the game still has to be played, in order to successfully complete the next game, the DRX team can only urgently transfer four players from the second team, and their next opponent is the KT team with the same results as them.
Of course, Yun Youji does not think that such a temporarily pulled up team can win the KT ranked fourth in the LCK division, this game can basically be seen as a send, and for DRX, who spends a lot of money to attract reinforcements, if the team does not even enter the playoffs because of the new crown problem, it is obviously unacceptable.
Therefore, DRX official Bo unexpectedly and reasonably announced that the four confirmed players were released from isolation yesterday and today, respectively, and will participate in the second smallest game of today's competition.
The official did not explicitly say that the player's new crown has been cured, so the probability of illness is not good.
Popular science a little knowledge, the new crown infected people in isolation for a period of time, the infectivity will be reduced, a British research institution found that the new crown infected people in nine days still have the ability to infect, the maximum up to 12 days, so it is recommended that new crown patients after diagnosis at least ten days of isolation.
The CDC of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has required a five-day quarantine period for COVID-19 patients, and several DRX players have confirmed the diagnosis on February 3, and now it has only been seven days, which may be based on CDC guidelines.
Of course, this news caused a fierce discussion among netizens, to know that Deft still has a lot of fans in The country, originally only the alpaca alone did not get recruited, DRX this operation, it is likely that the first five people are all finished.
Since DRX has nine players a day and Deft will partner eight teammates, the most serious consequence may not even be spared by the second team, and DRX may not even be able to get on the field.
This is only for DRX, because LCK has opened the offline viewing, the two teams in the game are also playing in a small room, if the epidemic prevention measures are not in place, the opposite KT team may also be recruited.
Although the official said that it has reported to LCK, it is precisely because the LCK is not in place to produce this chaotic situation, even if LCK agrees to the appearance of several players in DRX, it does not mean that it is foolproof. The race is important, but the body is even more important.
As LPL viewers, there is still a deep affection for LCK, we have been treating LCK as an opponent for many years, and it is precisely because the opponent is strong enough that LPL winning the championship is valuable. If because of the epidemic, the LCK team is in poor condition and the strength declines, it is also a pity for the audience.
Of course, the biggest worry may still be Guan Zeyuan, if the epidemic continues to spread, sooner or later it will affect his favorite GenG.
I only hope that the players can protect themselves, the career is very short, if the epidemic affects the state of the competition, it is really regrettable for life.
