WESG has announced that the Asia-Pacific Finals have been cancelled amid China’s coronavirus outbreak.

The event was due to take place in Macau from February 16-18 after being rescheduled from its original date of January 3-5 and moved from Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia, following issues with a local tournament organiser.

But the WESG officials announced on Wednesday that the event had been called off after Chinese health officials urged people to limit travel due to the Wuhan coronavirus, which has killed 17 people and infected over 500, mostly in mainland China.

WESG has not yet released any information about the new dates or the location of the event, with further details expected after this week’s Lunar New Year celebrations.

The WESG APAC Finals will feature a total of 16 teams, determined by national and regional qualifiers that were held between October and December. The team list for the event is the following:

Kazakhstan Virtus.pro
China R-Stars
Singapore dream[S]cape
