COVID-19 now has an increased level of threat worldwide, and this includes South Korea.

With the government raising the alert level to Red, there is a looming possibility that the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) might be postponed soon, similar to what has happened with the Overwatch League’s South Korea homestands.
