Professional players criticized Riot Games for the lack of measures to prevent coronavirus

Professional players from Brazil and Latin America have criticized Riot Games for the lack of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the VALORANT championships. With a request to take new measures to combat the pandemic, cybersportsmen turned to the developers on Twitter.

The first bell rang at the recent VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: South America Stage 2 Playoffs, as a Ninjas in Pajamas representative complained about the opponent due to violation of the coronavirus rules. According to xand, his team was forced to share a bus with the KRÜ Esports team, one of whose players tested positive for coronavirus. The 27-year-old Brazilian player reported that the opponent was on the bus without a mask, to which the organizers did not react.

In turn, the manager of KRÜ Esports noted that the decision to send two teams on one vehicle was made by representatives of Riot Games. In addition, the rest of the team members were not infected with the coronavirus.

Later, bezn1 joined the comments of xand, who was dissatisfied with the decision of Riot Games, which exposed Ninjas in Pajamas players to the risk of infection.

As a reminder, VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: South America Stage 2 Playoffs took place on June 30th. Due to the test results, the KRÜ Esports team was forced to play the match online.

Nevertheless, this did not prevent the Latin American team from getting a victory over Ninjas in Pajamas (3:0), and at the same time qualifying for VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen.

The final roster for VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen is as follows: Guild Esports, Fnatic, FunPlus Phoenix, OpTic Gaming, DRX, XSET, XERXIA, Leviatán, LOUD, Paper Rex, KRÜ Esports and Northeption.

VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen will take place July 10-24 in Copenhagen in a mixed format. The first weeks of the championship will be held in a studio format, while the final three days will take place at the Forum venue. As part of the championship, twelve participants from Europe, North and South America, Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia will play for an unannounced prize pool, as well as rating points.
