The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) has announced the postponement of week 2 of the 2020 LPL Spring Split.
The decision was made in light of the alarming spread of the new coronavirus. The virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, now has a reported death toll of 80 people in the country alone as of writing. To protect the health of its players and fans from possible transmission, the LPL has been suspended.
