On the evening of October 18, JDG Club issued an announcement that the nucleic acid result of Yagao players was confirmed to be positive:
Although sufficient protective measures have been taken, we still regretfully notify everyone that the JDG team player Yagao's regular nucleic acid test on October 18 was abnormal, and it was confirmed to be positive after the second nucleic acid test.
At present, the overall situation of Yagao players is stable and has been transferred to the isolation room to rest.
JDG players have changed a lot except mid laner Yagao and jungler Kanavi. As the cornerstone and mainstay of JDG's team building, Yagao is the lower limit guarantee of the team. Yagao, who won the 2022LPL summer final FMVP, saved the team several times in the World Championships, especially his Tsar, who turned the tide many times.
The core nucleic acid result of the team was positive, not good news, especially the match between JDG and RGE will start at 5:00 on October 21. In less than three days, the players may not be able to recover, and will have more or less impact on their state.
Of course, due to personal physical condition, everyone's symptoms are different. Some players may experience various symptoms, which will cause their competitive state to decline a lot, while others are just like nothing happened.
RNG played in the last two groups of GEN. You can see the situation of RNG players through the camera. It is hard to say that the condition has not affected their status.
World Championship was so successful, Riot is really disappointing. I hope Yagao can get better sooner.
