Blizzard banned a Hong Kong Grandmaster gamer for shouting a protest slogan

US gaming company Blizzard Entertainment said today (Oct. 8)
that it has given a one-year suspension to a professional player from Hong Kong
for having violated competition rules by shouting “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times!‘
in a post-game interview on Oct. 6 while wearing a respirator mask and a pair of goggles characteristic of the city’s protesters.

The player, Chung Ng-wai, also known as Blitzchung, said he had yelled the slogan as
“another form of participation of the protest,” to which he wanted to bring “more attention.”
He acknowledged that making such a statement could bring him “a lot of trouble,”
but was determined to do so because he felt it was his “duty to say something about the issue,”
he told the esports news site Inven Global.
