LPL Coronavirus: LPL Delays Week 2 of Games Because of Coronavirus Outbreak
By Nathan Fusco
The LPL has been delayed due to the the outbreak of the Coronavirus in Wuhan, China. Tencent's League of Legends Pro League already played Week 1 and had a small break before Week 2 set on Feb. 5 due to the Chinese New Year, but that date has been pushed back.
With an outbreak like this, travel and gatherings of large amounts of people can be dangerous, so the LPL has decided to postpone the games.
We have decided to postpone week 2 of the LPL until we can ensure the safety and health of our players and fans.

Stay Safe and thank you all for your support!
