“Our team is providing all necessary support, including medical assistance from health facilities and we are dedicated to their full recovery,” Tencent said. The identities of the three players haven’t been revealed.

Due to this development, Tencent has decided to make all players compete in the PMGC from isolation at their hotel instead of the venue. The company said the players’ health and safety remain its “top priority.”
