Wildturtle disconnected from the game after his apartment was left without power.
The 2020 LCS Summer Finals between FlyQuest and TSM was brought to a pause after FlyQuest AD carry WildTurtle lost power to his apartment building. The outage came as a result of heatwaves that have been sweeping across the Los Angeles area.
Shortly after the pause was made, the LCS tweeted that WildTurtle would be moving to the team’s practice facility to continue the playoff series after an extended pause.
An update on the pause, we've received word that one of the players has lost power. We are currently investigating solutions and will update you when we can. Thank you again for your patience. #LCS

With many fans confused as to why players had been playing from home in such an important series, FlyQuest explained in a tweet that players had been relocated due to the global pandemic, and that remote working had been agreed on by players and staff alike.
Due to the heatwave, WildTurtle's apt lost power and he is being relocated. Why players aren't at the facility: both staff and players agreed that everyone should work remotely during COVID. Thank you for your patience during this delay, and we hope to show you some great games!
