While the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines<\/a> are being distributed to the American populace, the United States continues to suffer immensely from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with over 22 million cases and nearly 380,000 deaths recorded so far by the CDC. Out of all the states, California is being hit especially hard by the virus, with more than 30,000 new cases and hundreds of deaths per day. With the North American\u00a0League of Legends\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>scene located in Los Angeles, it was only a matter of time before that was affected too.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Inven Global, multiple members of Counter Logic Gaming’s\u00a0League of Legends<\/a><\/em> roster have tested positive for COVID-19. In a statement to the Korean-American esports news outlet, CLG GM Daniel “Tafokints” Lee confirmed the report, stating that the team\u00a0\u2014 which competes in the\u00a0League of Legends<\/em> Championship Series (LCS)<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0practiced at its office rather than at home due to its facilities, being face-to-face, and offering lower ping. Players and staff were frequently tested and the office has been shut down until further notice.<\/p>\n

“We put everyone in quarantine that may have been exposed, and from there everyone started practicing at home,” said Tafokints.\u00a0“There’s not anyone that’s unable to play [due to] direct illnesses… Everyone is playing and scrimming.”<\/p>\n
