Les play-offs sans public !
La nouvelle vient de tomber et elle fait mal. Alors que le monde est en état d'alerte concernant la pandémie du coronavirus, les autorités locales polonaises ont décidé de ne pas courir le risque d'accueillir dans un même endroit des milliers de supporteurs potentiellement venus des quatre coins du globe. Ainsi, les play-offs auront bel et bien lieu dans la Spodek Arena de Katowice, mais sans public. Une décision radicale mais sûrement nécessaire.

At 19:45 CET we were informed by the Silesian Voivodeship that our mass event license for IEM Katowice was revoked. Until that moment we had a legally binding decision allowing us to organize the event, which was reconfirmed multiple times over the last few days. The last time the decision was confirmed was several hours ago. The Governor of Silesian (Silesian Voivode) Jaroslaw Wieczorek issued a decision to remove their approval regarding ESL hosting a mass event in Katowice, Poland. Due to this development, Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2020 will not have any audience on-site. This means both Spodek-Arena audience as well as IEM Expo. ESL respects this decision from the local authorities and is currently working on reaching out to all ticket holders, guests, and media. Tickets will be fully refunded. The tournament will be conducted and broadcasted as planned, but without any additional visitors on-site. We are deeply sorry for all fans and players. |
