2022 League of Legends Global Finals group stage is in New York, USA. Currently, 12 participating teams have held the first round of four days and are currently adjusting their states to welcome the second round of qualifying. As we all know, the United States is one of the regions with the largest number of people infected by the new crown epidemic in the world, and epidemic prevention policies are gradually relaxing, so the risk of infection with the new crown is higher. Although Riot has provided a strict epidemic prevention environment for staff and players in the global finals, infection is inevitable. In the early morning of October 13, the EDG team issued an announcement, announcing the news that Scout, the main mid laner in the team, had recently tested positive for nucleic acid.

Announcement content:

Hello everyone, here is EDG e-sports club .

regretfully notified everyone that the Scout ( Li Fengying ) player of the EDG League of Legends branch had abnormal test results after participating in the offseason's routine nucleic acid test. After the secondary nucleic acid test, the test results of other players were normal. The Scout contestants are currently in stable condition and have self-isolated as required. They will participate in follow-up training normally in the isolation room. They will use offline network environments to conduct scheduled competitions in the isolation environment. Other contestants will participate in the competitions in the venue.

Club will also continue to take strict epidemic prevention measures with the official. Thank you for your attention, our frontline staff will also do our best to take good care of our contestants!

There is less than one day left to qualify for Group A on October 14. At that time, EDG and the other three teams in Group A will start a cruel and fierce battle for qualifying. The qualifying situation in Group A is the most complicated among the four groups. Except for the defeat in C9, EDG, T1, and FNC are currently 2 wins and 1 loss. The result of each game in the qualifying battle may determine the final outcome, and there are very likely extra games or even three-party extra games. This is a huge test for the players' physical fitness. Riot had previously had experience in holding competitions in the isolation house due to the positive nucleic acid of the contestant, so the hardware conditions for the Scout contestants were supported. We can only wish Scout a quick recovery and not leave any regrets for his global finals tour.
