So far, EDG have defeated Victory Five and lost to Top Esports, meaning the bout with RNG will be a must-win match for Clearlove&#8217;s men.<\/p>\n<p>The two sides met at the Demacia Cup grand finals in December, where RNG bested their compatriots 3-1.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Chinese government announced they are suspending all outbound transport from Wuhan until the outbreak is contained, meaning that it is unlikely Clearlove will get a green light to leave the city before EDG&#8217;s clash with RNG.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a reason to believe Clearlove could be absent for significantly longer, considering the city is now expected to be in lockdown for longer than initially foreseen. The latest news regarding the virus claimed it has infected nearly 600 people and has spread into Japan, Macao, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, South Korea and even North America.<\/p>\n<p>The severity of the outbreak is still under question, with the World Health Organization still debating whether the epidemic should be considered as a global health emergency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDward Gaming coach Ming &#8220;Clearlove&#8221; Kai has announced he might miss the second week of the League of Legends Pro League as he could find himself stranded in Wuhan, where he will celebrate the Lunar New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":10293,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,1001,348,4,24,389,1002,1003],"class_list":["post-10292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cn","tag-coronavirus","tag-edward-gaming","tag-featured","tag-league-of-legends","tag-lpl","tag-ming-clearlove-kai","tag-wuhan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10292"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10292"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10294,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10292\/revisions\/10294"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
