Asia Pacific Predator League 2020 in Manila Postponed Due to nCoV Concerns

This is for the upcoming Asia Pacific Predator League 2020 where the best teams in Asia Pacific for Dota 2 and PUBG were set to compete over their share of the USD $400,000 prize pool. Due to recent health-related circumstances, Acer has announced that the tournament will be postponed.

The reason that the tournament was postponed is due to concerns over the recent nCoV (Novel Coronavirus) outbreak.

It is being tentatively rescheduled to June or July. Acer will continue to closely monitor the coronavirus (2019-nCoV) situation and further announce when an exact date has been determined.

Acer mentioned that almost 20,000 tickets were sold for the tournament. At the moment, it’s being postponed to sometime in June or July 2020, with the exact date to be announced at another time.
