GoShox United States1842 Posts January 02 2021 09:39 GMT #43 Hello, I know it's been several months and the world is still in a very strange state but just curious if this event will still happen at some point? I'd love to come if so and have some friends who are interested too. If so, is there a Discord I can join or some social media I can follow for updates?

TelecoM United States10686 Posts January 03 2021 06:35 GMT #44 I don't know how LA LAN would even be a possibility with the insanely high rise of Corona cases here in SoCal, especially in LA county.... always praying for this madness to stop though.

Maybe by summer a lot of nations will be at a reasonable immunity. Lan in august? If it's in Stockholm I'll try to make it.

FlaShFTW United States10253 Posts January 03 2021 22:58 GMT #48 At the moment, it is unwise to host any kind of LAN event. Maybe Afreeca could try to host a California online tournament where California residents could compete against each other to fill the void. However, until coronavirus vaccine is more widely distributed to the general public, I doubt Afreeca would ever want to expose themselves to the massive risk of trying to host any event. At present, the vaccines are a 2-dose vaccine that is taken 1 month apart. Seeing as how slow the US is getting the vaccine out right now, by the time it reaches our age group, it could be well past March/April by the time we are getting our first round of vaccines. Then, the public would still need to quarantine to ensure the vaccine is working properly and the case rate plummets before outdoor gatherings are allowed. That would probably take another month after the nation gets their 2nd round of doses. At earliest under the most optimistic standards, Afreeca can look at this coming July/August as the time to plan the next LAN. But I think they'll definitely hold off until other larger events like people going back to sporting events/music festivals start to open up before they follow suit and host a LAN.

GoShox United States1842 Posts January 03 2021 23:27 GMT #49 I think any sensible person understands that this event won't happen until vaccinations are available for the general public. My question is simply if this event is still planned to happen at some point, or if the pandemic has forced them to cancel it and they used the funding for something else, and if there's some kind of social media I can follow for updates for when it's safe to host events again and they start planning it.
