Since the Covid-19 pandemic, several event organizers have been forced to change and cancel the Esports tournament they will hold. For example, ESL was forced to cancel ESL Pro League Season 11.
Even so, ESL seems to have given an indication that ESL One Cologne 2020 will be held offline. Can ESL make this happen?
Some Countries Start Lifting Lockdown Status
To date, several countries around the world have started lifting their Lockdown policies. This is because Covid-19 is starting to experience a downward trend in the local country.
For example, Germany, which is the host for the ESL One Cologne event, has lifted their Lockdown status some time ago. As a result, some sporting events such as the Bundesliga have been held under certain conditions.
This is what makes ESL believe that ESL One Cologne can be held offline later. However, ESL seems to be still considering several options for the tournament.
ESL Considers Two Options
First, it is clear that ESL is eager to roll out ESL One Cologne 2020 offline. However, his party must think about whether all participating teams can enter Germany using a Visa?
The reason is, they certainly don’t want any team to resign because of this. Because, ESL One Cologne 2020 will be attended by various teams from around the world, from Brazil, Asia, Oceania, to Europe.
Meanwhile, ESL still has another option which is to roll out ESL One Cologne online. However, ESL may hope that the first option will materialize in the future.
For your information, ESL announced that ESL Pro League Season 12 will be held offline in September 2020.
