EA has cancelled all its live events for its competitive games because of the coronavirus outbreak.
All live events for the Apex Legends Global Series, FIFA 20 Global Series, FIFA Online 4 Live Events and Madden NFL 20 Championship Series are postponed. This includes EA-operated events as well as third-party events run under a licence from EA.
Online events, where participants and staff are remote and separated, will continue, EA said in a post on its website.
The suspension started on 13th March and “will be in effect until the global coronavirus situation improves”, EA said.
“Our priority is protecting our competitors, our employees, our partner’s employees and our communities. As we continue to monitor the situation around the coronavirus and receive updated guidance from health officials around the world, we will use this time to determine next steps for moving forward with all of EA’s Competitive Gaming live events and online broadcasts.”
