The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Apex Legends Global Series Major 1 (ALGS) has officially been postponed due to concerns about COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, marking yet another event that has affected by the global threat. EA has released , which states that events for both Apex Legends and the EA Sports FIFA 20 Global Series will be postponed.
Since the ALGS’ second tournament is online, it will proceed as planned later in March. While only one event for Apex Legends has been affected, several FIFA events have been delayed or cancelled, including:
- CONMEBOL eLibertadores Online & Live Event from March 7 – 8 has been postponed
- FUT Champions Cup Stage V in Bucharest from April 3 – 5 has been cancelled
- PlayStation Licensed Qualifying Event from May 2 – 3 has been cancelled
“While we don’t have any new dates to share at this point in time, we’ll look to provide more information regarding these events and the effect on each of the G▨lobal Series as soon as we can," says EA.
While the move is certainly frustrating for fans of the game and those who were looking forward to competing, the decision should not be a surprise to anyone. The ongoing 𓆏concerns with the spread of the c🌺oronavirus around the globe have resulted in several events of far larger scale also seeing a delay or outright cancellation.
Yesterday, Twitch made a similar announcement about the168澳洲幸运5开奖网: cancellation of TwitchCon Amsterdam, an event that streamers and fans from all over the world were excited to attend. NetherRealm Studios also announced the cancellation of one of its major competitive events for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat 11, and this has become the norm in the current climate in order to preven🅷t the spread of the 🌟disease.
In the case of competitive games like Apex Legends, the obvious fallback is to continue vetting players through online tournaments until it is viable to again host live events. Businesses have also adapted to the ongoing potential threat of the spread of coronavirus. Bungie, among several large businesses, has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:announced that infrastructure has been put into place to allow its employees to work remotely so as not to affect its services, which, in this case, means patches and updates for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2.
Anyone who has purchased a ticket to the ALGS will receive a full refund. Players who had to travel for the tournament are also being co♍nsidered, with EA stating: “We will now put our focus towards the financial implications on our community and we’ll update you how we plan to address as soon as we can.”
