"OWL isn’t the only e-sports league dealing with the fallout from the coronavirus. The League of Legends Pro League — arguably the biggest professional gaming circuit in the world — recently announced that it would postpone the competition “until we can ensure the safety and health of our players and fans.”
Even e-games have players who congregate in teams at various sites, and that's a risk for viral transmission.
Game cafes, casinos (as in Macao), and other places where people gather for prolonged periods in close proximity and handle common objects like cards, casino chips, game pieces, dice, and worse in the proximity of food and drink - like a SnL game cafe - are all locations where viral transmission is a significant risk.
Just as airlines have cancelled flights and bookings for travel are down, investors ought to expect lower attendance at SnLs, particularly SnL Tempe, as there is already a confirmed coronavirus case in a member of the ASU community.
