Back in February, we reported about Garena coming up with COD Mobile Garena Invitational tournament. But amidst the ongoing Coronavirus scare, Garena has decided to call it off. Keeping the health and well being of players in mind, Garena has taken down the COD Mobile Garena Invitational Tournament with immediate effect.

Garena’s announcement

The COD Mobile Garena Invitational Tournament was cancelled by Garena and was made official through a post on their Facebook official page. As they quoted ,

“Hi Soldiers,



In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation across the region, we have decided to cancel the Call of Duty® Mobile – Garena Invitational.



We are making this difficult decision after we explored alternative ways for us to hold the tournament online. However, with a number of our participating regions having implemented important measures to safeguard their communities by limiting unnecessary travel, it is not feasible for players to gather with their teammates and match officials locally.



Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our players, fans, partners, and staff – and of the communities where we operate across the region.



Thanks for all your understanding and support. Stay frosty , Soldiers”
