Mostly that he was really careful in the lead up but he's disappointed to have contracted covid anyway. Seems to be in relatively good spirits considering the terrible circumstances. He had cold like symptoms but he's feeling alright now.

Yeah, hopefully that all KR players were traveling together and Ragnarok is the only one that got stuck.

He tested positive on his 24-hours-before-travel test, so no need to worry about that here I think.

Very sad news indeed. Hopefully Rogue, Maru, Zest, Trap and other players were not infested with the virus.

Feel like they should tag along each other, and do not ever let one of them wandering somewhere in the airport.

It's incredible that he can go all this time without Covid and it happens right before travel. I feel really bad for him. This IEM is anybody's tournament at the moment.

What makes you say that? Many Koreans (about 12?) arrived today and took their Krakow arrival test. I'm not sure how many tests need to be taken for players but if it's like the talent side, one test in and one test out. If symptoms show then yeah more tests necessary, but it does seem like honestly the biggest "hold your breath" moment is the pre departure test.

Agree with BisuDagger above. Such terrible timing after (presumably) dodging it for so long. ):

Do you know if there is going to be daily testing throughout the tournament?

From the public sources available (I have no other insight) it does seem to be one test in and then only if you show symptoms are more done. I just want to be clear I'm not an authority on this and am crossing my fingers as much as the next person that Ragnarok testing positive is a rarity.

I'm just wondering about that since there's much debate about the DQs once a player tests positive for COVID. But if there isn't daily testing, and it's only done when there are symptoms, the likelihood of that happening is lower. Even then, if the players tests negative when they arrive in Poland, it should be unlikely (not impossible) that they'll contract COVID (and get symptoms/tested) within 5-7 days.

Korea is exploding with COVID and players could be asymptomatic and testing negative prior to boarding the plane or even after landing. Happened in CS:GO in which one player was not allowed to play while the other played in his hotel room.

Fair enough to be fearful of the possibility, but you made it sound like a certainty for "many Koreans". A large group of Korean players have already landed and been tested. As I said above, it seems like there's cause for a bit of hope since there won't be random testing and as such asymptomatic cases (which are likely with Omicron & vaxxed) won't be caught.

As far as debating on whether or not not testing daily is a good thing idk, but I was mostly questioning your certainty, not the understandable fear and frustration of the event.

The solution to all this is 36 players booths and each player isn't allowed to leave theirs until they've lost. How does this work in detail? Player X enters the player booth while at their home. The local post then picks up the booth and transports both the booth and player inside to the on sight location. Once a players loses, they can leave the booth after they have been successfully shipped back home.

I hope the unforgiving nature of these rules does not land us with a shitty, talent-lite tournament. Omicron is like a common cold for most healthy, young people. I get that there's PR and liability involved, to an extent, but holy shit the biggest tournament of the year is making a grand statement by going offline and it could be a very messy bed-shitting indeed.

Let's just hope we're more lucky, CS:GO only had 1 player and they have many more players than us.

What makes you say that? Many Koreans (about 12?) arrived today and took their Krakow arrival test. I'm not sure how many tests need to be taken for players but if it's like the talent side, one test in and one test out. If symptoms show then yeah more tests necessary, but it does seem like honestly the biggest "hold your breath" moment is the pre departure test.

Agree with BisuDagger above. Such terrible timing after (presumably) dodging it for so long. ):

Korea is exploding with COVID and players could be asymptomatic and testing negative prior to boarding the plane or even after landing. Happened in CS:GO in which one player was not allowed to play while the other played in his hotel room.


Fair enough to be fearful of the possibility, but you made it sound like a certainty for "many Koreans". A large group of Korean players have already landed and been tested. As I said above, it seems like there's cause for a bit of hope since there won't be random testing and as such asymptomatic cases (which are likely with Omicron & vaxxed) won't be caught.

As far as debating on whether or not not testing daily is a good thing idk, but I was mostly questioning your certainty, not the understandable fear and frustration of the event.

The solution to all this is 36 players booths and each player isn't allowed to leave theirs until they've lost. How does this work in detail? Player X enters the player booth while at their home. The local post then picks up the booth and transports both the booth and player inside to the on sight location. Once a players loses, they can leave the booth after they have been successfully shipped back home.
