Blizzard cancels Paris Overwatch League 2020 matches due to coronavirus

3 days ago, the French authorities banned any mass events. The concept of mass events includes all events at which more than 1000 people gather. After a short time, the administration of the Zenit Paris - La Villette concert hall, which is scheduled to hold all the confrontations with Paris Eternal , canceled all the events scheduled before April 15th. Offline matches with the participation of the aforementioned team were to be held from April 13 to 14.

Representatives of the Chinese and Korean divisions faced a similar situation. The organizers of the Overwatch League 2020 wanted to move the Chinese teams to Seoul for home matches, the idea failed after the spread of the virus in South Korea, and with it the protective measures against COVID-19, increased.
