if other popular events such as nba ,nfl , and alike have been cancelled how much more this ?
i think itll also be cancelled because many people are also gathering if there are dota 2 events , we can see it when we are watching the stream or on the videos on youtube but they can always re schedule the game if ever the virus isnt really that active anymore but not these days because we all see that virus is still spreading strongly .
almost everyday there are new cases all over the world and the death tolls also increase .
It might not be on the likes of nba or nfl but esports is pretty big imho.Yes, it does really have also that big crowd when it comes to tournaments
like majors or minors specially on the international stuff.It would be just right if they would postponed such events and wont risk to continue
since they do know that they would really increase chances of spreading the virus if they do push through but on the image above it shows that
they do stop it for now on such event which is right.
I think this is a hard decision for them but in doing this they are taking the safety of their players and everyone that will be present in that tournament, And yes they will surely lose money because of the cancelation but kudos to them for not thinking about the lost but the safety of everyone, COVID-19 is a serious Pandemic disease that will surely take a lot of toll of life if not taken any precautionary measures
The Tournament could be held some other time and I think it will still continue if this virus has passed, but the life that have lost because of the virus will surely not coming back at all, lets just all think of the positive things that may happen in the future.
Every sector or businesses now do really have that big loss when it comes to profit matters but nothing is more precious when we do talk human lives.
Its just right for them to stop operation or events to avoid more problems.Its just understandable that business is affect but that thing doesnt really matter
much for now.
