PS: Studies have shown that playing games at home can effectively reduce the frequency of going out, reduce the risk of infection, and have a broad-spectrum isolation effect on most epidemics.
At present, this article is still in clinical trials
Today, the impact of the new coronavirus pneumonia that is raging around the world has penetrated every corner of our lives, and it is not surprising that the new crown pneumonia has also affected our DOTA world.
Today ESL One announced on the official website: this time the Los Angeles Major will be held as scheduled.
ESL One officials said it would keep in touch with the local government at all times, just in case it happened, it could make timely adjustments. At present, the current safety risk level of the event venues and events held by the organizers and the government is safe, and it is also promised that in order to ensure the health problems of the spectators, the health standards of the site will be further improved, and sufficient and experienced medical personnel will be provided on site. Ensuring the health of players and fans, as well as staff, is a top priority for ESL One to host the Los Angeles Major.
As the epidemic alarm continues to sound across the United States, the United States California also officially declared a state of emergency at 8 a.m. Beijing time, worryingly only in the past 48 hours California has confirmed 6 new coronavirus pneumonia patients, but unfortunately the official statement of ESL One was issued before the government declared a state of emergency, as for the follow-up situation, we still need to wait for the official announcement of the event organizers. So far, California has confirmed more than 40 confirmed cases, ranking first among all states in the United States, but there have been no deaths. At present, the official V Society has only taken one-week postponement measures for the qualifiers of the Chinese division of Los Angeles Major, and there are no other official statements or targeted measures at this stage, according to the current severe situation, it is still possible to cancel the Los Angeles Major.
China's IG team has just gone to Mexico for training, Trump said that because of the impact of the epidemic may consider closing the Mexican border; and the EHOME team also went to Malaysia to train, waiting for the end of the 14-day training to transfer to the United States; the RNG team also ran to the beautiful Thailand for 14 days of training, waiting for the end of the 14 days of training to leave the United States; the Aster team also started the Kiev Meionr journey today. If you qualify as the Kiev Meionr champion, you will stay in Ukraine for 14 days before going to the United States.
The Los Angeles Major is full of stars, if it can be successfully held, we can see the "two champions" OG debut in 2020 for the first time offline. In any case, I hope that this competition can be held as scheduled, and I hope that all the participating team players and club staff and all members of the event organizers can be spared from the new crown pneumonia.
Let's see how much the new coronavirus pneumonia has affected the e-sports world, and many events have had to postpone or cancel live events due to the virus:

Plagues begin with heavy snow, on the winter solstice, in small colds, in great colds, in spring, weaker than rain, and weakened by stings. At this critical time, I would like to encourage you: e-sports is our common belief, I wish you good health, peace and security through this epidemic, and listen to the national arrangements to do a good job in personal protection measures. We have overcome difficulties together, no winter will not pass, the haze of the epidemic can not block the sunshine. When the epidemic is over, let us hold hands with those who want to see the peach blossoms.
