In what comes not as a shocker, one of Heroic’s players has been tested positive for COVID-19. The tests were done as per ESL’s covid protocol, which forces players to quarantine for 72-hours, get tested, and then be able to play if found negative. The player has not been named to ‘protect the privacy’ as told to ESL by the Heroic management.
According to ESL, no one from their team or staff or other competitive teams has come into contact with Heroic, making the contact tracing easier for the management. As for the COVID protocol followed by ESL, players have to follow a set rule of a 72 hours quarantine.
The good thing about this is though playing from their hotel room, the players will be on the same LAN network, making the latency balanced for both the teams competing.
