Konami has eliminated more events from its tournament and organized play schedule in response to the increase in daily COVID-19 cases in the U.S., the company announced. Two tournament events have been canceled: the WCQ - National Championships, which had previously been postponed (see "Konami Postpones Major ‘Yu-Gi-Oh’ Events"), and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series in Minneapolis, originally scheduled for August.
And the postponement of all organized play and promotional events has been extended indefinitely; events had previously been getting postponed month-to-month.
Konami said it will periodically provide future updates as circumstances evolve, depending on government health authority guidelines.
