\nGen.G are the latest esports team participating in the 2022 League of Legends World Championship<\/a> to announce that some of their members have contracted COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Recent reports revealed that three members of the team\u2019s roster have tested positive for the virus. Gen.G\u2019s head coach, Go \u201cScore\u201d Dong-bin, and one of his assistants, Kim “Museong” Moo-Seong, along with Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon, will participate in the second half of the 2022 World Groups stage remotely.<\/p>\n

The first half of the tournament stage came to a close on October 10, and players were given a two-day break before the second half picked up on October 12. The event is set to take place at the Hulu Theatre in New York City, USA<\/a>, the same venue as the former.<\/p>\n

Unlike the other players in the tournament, Score, Museong, and Chovy, as well as gamers in other teams that contracted the virus, would stay in a separate location provided by Riot Games to participate in the tournament.<\/p>\n

According to the organization\u2019s announcement post, other staff members in Gen.G also tested positive for the virus. The post revealed that despite the illnesses, the players still felt strong enough to play in the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of Riot’s mandatory COVID-19 safety procedures, it has been revealed that several members of teams participating in Worlds 2022 have produced positive PR test results,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, Score, Museong, and Chovy are among the affected staff and players. Following Riot testing protocols, each member will participate online from an isolated facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, all the affected members feel well enough to play our next match remotely. They will also be available to play offline should they pass the protocol requirements before our match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to work closely with Riot to ensure the prioritization of the health and safety of our players throughout this process. We will make sure to provide updates as we receive them.\u201d<\/p>\n
