The LDL has announced that it will restrict undege players from competing in professional League of Legends matches as a result of a new set of laws passed by the Chinese government earlier this week. The laws restrict Chinese citizens under the age of 18 to just three hours of gaming time during the week and only one hour on weekends and holidays.
As a result of the law’s implementation, the LDL, which is the Academy-level equivalent league for China’s LPL, has postponed its semifinal matches—which were originally meant to be played earlier today—to Sept. 6, according to a tnslation by well-known LPL journalist Ran. The league’s gnd final has been moved back to Sept. 8, while the third-place match has been canceled altogether.
