Overwatch League suspends matches following Corona Virus outbreak

The Overwatch League postpones scheduled matches in Seoul for three weeks in the wake of news that Asia is spreading its virus outbreak in South Korea.

In Seoul, in March last month, the League has postponed matches for three cities in China, due to the COVID-19 disease caused by a newly-known coronavirus, infected by tens of thousands of people, mostly in China.

These matches were now postponed, together with previously scheduled Seoul dynasty dates.

“We cancel plans to host OWL 2020 matches in South Korea during Weeks 5, 6 and 7, including in the Seoul Dynasty,” the league said in a statement to protect the health and welfare of our teams, fans and personnel.
