Another player Reported Covid Positive at Valorant Champions Tournament.
A day before, Team Envy is set to take on X10 Crit in the VALORANT Champions Berlin. Unfortunately, the team’s determined Skye participant, Victor Wong, produced an acceptable result in two of his PCR tests, making him unfit to play with his team.
Fortunately, Riot Games has prepared various contingencies for circumstances like this, which allows players to continue playing without risking the safety of others on the team or other players.
NV Victor wasn’t the only one to have a positive result in the course of the tournament. Never from Team Liquid’s Rivera also got a positive result in his PCR test.
He had to take one day prior and is subject to the same restrictions as Victor. Both players will be in isolation from their teams within security facilities.
Also, it will be connected to LAN. Therefore, it will maintain the network’s stability and the competitive aspect of the VALORANT Champions Berlin.
Riot Games has received praise for having well-planned actions in dealing with the situation in a way that won’t interfere with the tournament for the athletes and spectators.
Alex Francois, the head of Competitive Operations in VALORANT, mentioned that the company had been prepared for any eventuality that might arise before.
Many expressed their concerns over having a second person test positive within the space 2 days, warning that the spread could get beyond control.
However, positive results of PCR tests don’t necessarily mean that they are an indication that you’re suffering from Covid-19.
As there’s been a massive variety of false-positive reported across the globe. This doesn’t mean that the risk isn’t there in any case.
Whatever the case, Riot Games has already declared that they will take every measure to go ahead in the tournament. Also, the safety and health of the players as their top prioritization.
