Yes, all the world is aware of the seriousness of the issue and the danger that can be run players, for this decision is the most cautious and consistent of LEC and Riot Games.
The solution it seems clear: dispute the parties so online from next week. It is not the same, nor much less, but the esports allow this, and players will be able to avoid to remain without dispute the days remaining in the championship.
