Caster duo Shannon \"SUNSfan\" Scotten and Troels \"syndereN\" Nielsen talked about it on an episode of their podcast, and although they haven\u2019t heard anything official on the matter, since 50 people have reportedly died in the last week alone and all sporting events for at least a month have been canceled, they believe the Lima Major may not happen. SUNSfan did point out that esports hasn\u2019t technically been shut down like sports have, so it may not follow suit, but all other aspects of the situation have left him fearing the worst. SyndereN sounded convinced too, and if it does happen, he said he hopes a decision is made in the next week. Otherwise, it would create a messy situation for the tournament organizers. Even if they are willing to take the risk because they\u2019ve put in so much work, have so much to gain, and are more knowledgeable about the nature of the unrest, he suspects Valve may be less inclined, and because of that, believes the major is in \u201ctotal jeopardy.\u201d SUNSfan agreed. He said if the conditions don\u2019t improve in the month leading up to the event, it should be canceled, and if that does happen, we\u2019ll likely see the event split into separate tournaments for each region, like what happened at the height of COVID-19. It\u2019s an unfortunate situation, but in the end, the safety of players and fans is paramount, and if that\u2019s not guaranteed, Valve may have no choice but to pull the plug.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/26194322\/New-Project-51.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784939"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784939"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":785019,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784939\/revisions\/785019"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=784939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Caster duo Shannon \"SUNSfan\" Scotten and Troels \"syndereN\" Nielsen talked about it on an episode of their podcast, and although they haven\u2019t heard anything official on the matter, since 50 people have reportedly died in the last week alone and all sporting events for at least a month have been canceled, they believe the Lima Major may not happen. SUNSfan did point out that esports hasn\u2019t technically been shut down like sports have, so it may not follow suit, but all other aspects of the situation have left him fearing the worst. SyndereN sounded convinced too, and if it does happen, he said he hopes a decision is made in the next week. Otherwise, it would create a messy situation for the tournament organizers. Even if they are willing to take the risk because they\u2019ve put in so much work, have so much to gain, and are more knowledgeable about the nature of the unrest, he suspects Valve may be less inclined, and because of that, believes the major is in \u201ctotal jeopardy.\u201d SUNSfan agreed. He said if the conditions don\u2019t improve in the month leading up to the event, it should be canceled, and if that does happen, we\u2019ll likely see the event split into separate tournaments for each region, like what happened at the height of COVID-19. It\u2019s an unfortunate situation, but in the end, the safety of players and fans is paramount, and if that\u2019s not guaranteed, Valve may have no choice but to pull the plug.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/26194322\/New-Project-51.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784939"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784939"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":785019,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784939\/revisions\/785019"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=784939"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=784939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
