Esports will feel the pinch along with every other industry in China thanks to the Wuhan coronavirus.

In case you’ve been living under a rock (which might be the safest place to be, come to think of it), there’s a new viral outbreak in town. It’s called the Wuhan coronavirus, so-called since the virus originally came from Wuhan, China. The virus is related to a family of viruses that includes everything from SARS to the common cold. Symptoms include cough and fever but can escalate to pneumonia and severe respiratory distress.

So far, China has reported over 31,000 infections and 623 confirmed deaths, although those figures are widely considered to be on the low side. We’ll likely never know the true number of infections as China’s health system is completely overwhelmed by the outbreak.

The entire country is shutting down due to the outbreak. Factories have closed. The streets are empty. Government officials are telling people to stay inside, even going so far as to provide cheap video games to give people something to do in the hopes that limiting exposure will cause the epidemic to blow itself out.

And as you might expect, this has greatly affected esports.

China is the largest esports market on the planet, with a recent report from Chinese media conglomerate Tencent reporting 2019’s esports revenue reaching almost $2 billion. All the biggest tournaments take place in China, from League of Legends World Championships to Dota 2’s The International, and many more were planned for 2020.

Only now, those tournaments are being delayed or outright canceled. The Video Game Championship Pokémon Midseason Showdown was scheduled to take place on February 2nd but was canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Week two of League of Legends Pro League 2020 Spring Split was delayed two weeks, and so far there’s been no update on if it will still take place at all.

Last week, Overwatch League canceled its 3rd season homesteads in China. Predator League has delayed its 2020 Asia Pacific tournament to the summer in response to the outbreak, and PUBG’s Global Series has been postponed indefinitely.

So far, American and European tournaments have been unaffected by the coronavirus, but if the epidemic spreads beyond China’s borders, we could see those tournaments shutting down too.

While it pales in comparison to the loss of life, one thing is for certain: it could be a bad year for esports.
