The teams went into picks and bans for Game 1, nearly finishing the team compositions before an audio issue on Fnatic’s side caused a pause. The EU broadcasting team admirably filled in for about two hours of delay before it was announced the game would be postponed.
@lolesports This decision has been reached in order to protect competitive integrity and the players' wellbeing.
