Yang said holding the World League offline isn’t possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though teams will be spread around the world, the tournament will be played online.

Yang added that after “thousands of tests and full-range research,” the team found a “fair enough solution” to hold the event online. He didn’t give the specifics of this solution, however.

The PMWL is being called “season zero” since this isn’t a normal season, but a special season due to complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Both of the PMWL East and West divisions will each see 20 teams competing. So far, the following teams have qualified for the PMWL West:
