North America’s League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) has announced that the 2020 Honda Scouting Grounds will continue with its schedule, but will now be held in a virtual format.
“We’ve continued to monitor the global health situation since our lolesports post in June,” stated LoL Esports. “To ensure the health and safety of everyone involved, we wanted to confirm that 2020 Honda Scouting Grounds will be fully virtual.”
The format for the week-long competition remains the same with Riot easing the process for all the players. All competitors will play on the same Tournament Realm server and will be monitored via webcams and comms provided by Riot.
