ONE Esports Singapore Major Team Adjustments
Yesterday beastcoast became the first team to pull out of the major followed by Na'vi. Five other squads —T1, Team Nigma, Quincy Crew, Na'Vi, and Neon have announced stand-in players for the event, due to the same COVID-19 concerns and even positive PCR tests, as well as potentially Virtus.pro. Dota 2 commentator Ioannis "Fogged" Loucas had to pull out of the talent line-up after being exposed to the coronavirus.
