There will also be Plexiglas windows.

"The only place where the players will be a little more free is when they are in front of their personal computer, only them touch it, they will have the right to remove their mask", continues Dach .

Mandatory negative test

But the precautions do not end there: all participants have been invited to test themselves.

All those who test positive, who have not done so or who have symptoms will not be able to participate in the event in Montpellier.

Domingo, one of the historic participants of the Z Event, was tested “ten days before and again on Tuesday,” he says.

All those coming from Paris will travel to Montpellier in a reserved wagon, we have taken all the precautions, we do not want to send a bad message.

In addition, everyone will have to check their temperature regularly, using a thermometer gun, as soon as they arrive, and throughout the weekend.

The organizers insist on the “bubble” organized around the participants: everything will take place in a hotel, whether it is the event itself or the meals and the nights.

Squeezie takes part, but from a distance

The Covid-19 epidemic, however, forced some streamers to cancel their visit to the Z Event.

Faced with withdrawals, the organizers finally authorized all the players whose participation was planned to play online, from home.

"This requires a little more organization than expected, but in exceptional circumstances, exceptional measures", they indicate.

Thus, Squeezie, who had canceled his visit to Montpellier because of the Covid-19 epidemic, will ultimately be well in the game.

From a distance.
