The LPL will play the Mid-Season Invitational remotely

As we know, the pandemic has disrupted many sporting events and still continues to influence the biggest competitions. The latest is the Mid-Season Invitational to be held in South Korea from May 10. Indeed, while we are still waiting to know the name of the team representing the Chinese league, we already know that she will not be there face the best teams in the world.

Riot Games has just announced that due to the pandemic and all the security protocols that surround China, RNG or Top Esports will play the competition remotely. After considering all factors such as sporting integrity, safety, infrastructure and venue, the League of Legends creator believes thatthis is the best solution. Given the short distance between China and South Korea, the Chinese team will not have latency problems and even better, all teams will play with the same ping.

Indeed, in its press release, Riot Games reveals that the Chinese team will be able to play with 35ms and to preserve fairness, a network latency tool will be used so that all teams play with 35ms. If this isn’t optimal for gamers who are used to playing with near-zero ping, this is the only solution to see the LPL champion participate in the MSI and preserve sporting fairness. We are now waiting to know all the qualifiers and to finally see the clashes between the best teams in the world.
