The following report comes from the Korean media reporter Kenzi:
According to several anonymous sources, the MSI, which was originally scheduled to be held on July 3, will not be held due to the epidemic. According to Fomos reporter Kenzi, Riot Games has sent notifications to the teams participating in the Spring Split.
Originally, MSI decided to hold it in the Arab region in May this year. However, due to internal Arab political issues, the location has been changed to Los Angeles, USA. It is expected to start on July 3 this year and last for two weeks.
However, under the influence of “COVID-19”, the Los Angeles city government will not allow group activities of more than 300 people until 2021. In this regard, Riot Games seems to have decided to cancel MSI after considering it. Many people familiar with the matter said: While canceling the MSI competition, the number of teams (the number of seeds) will be increased in the World Championship according to the competition area, and some people have proposed that the LPL and LEC places will be increased to 4.
