\nCovid 19 has once again made an unwelcome appearance in the 2022 Valorant Champions with a leading team’s coach struck by the illness. <\/p>\n

According to reports, Chet “Chet” Singh, OpTic Gaming\u2019s head coach, has tested positive for covid.

\nChet made the announcement himself via his Twitter page, quoting a Riot Games announcement that shed light on the provisions put in place for infected players. <\/p>\n

Chet disclosed that he was yet to recover. However, some members of 100 Thieves and the tournament organisers supplied items he would need to “get through this”.

\n“I tested positive for COVID 2-3 days ago, definitely very unfortunate circumstances, but Riot and also some members of 100T have provided stuff for me to get through this,” he wrote. <\/p>\n

“Wasn’t able to recover at all so far, but I will get through this.”

\nIn a follow-up tweet, Chet went on to apologise to his teammates and fans, claiming the outcome was entirely his fault and that he should have been much more cautious. He concluded by saying that he hoped his absence would not have a negative impact on the team\u2019s chances of winning.

Really sorry to my teammates and fans, I should've been 100x more careful. Completely on me and I hope it doesn't affect our chances \u2639\ufe0f<\/p>\n
