A Hong Kong-based professional e-sports player has been suspended for 12 months after he shouted “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time” during a livestream.

Ng Wai-chung, who also goes by the username “blitzchung,” expressed support for the citywide protests in a post-match interview on Sunday. He also wore goggles and a respirator – the typical outfit for pro-democracy protesters going up against riot police.

Blizzard end their ruling by saying “While we stand by one’s right to express individual thoughts and opinions, players and other participants that elect to participate in our esports competitions must abide by the official competition rules.”

It’s been a bad week for anyone wanting to “stand by one’s right to express individual thoughts and opinions” when it comes to China.

Boycott the games from these three publishers anyway: crappy games and shameless DLC baits for the dumbass millennials.

1. EA (destroyed the C&C franchise)
2. Activision-Blizzard (no longer the Blizzard North of old)
3. Ubisoft destroyed the HoMM franchise)

Regarding the spat with 中共国... keep your eye also on NBA and the Houston Rockets.

The world is giving up it's morality to the almighty Chinese Yuan. All the more reason to support Trump and his containment of China. No one else would have done it. All hail Trump!

Money is indeed powerful. You can talk as much as you want, no problem, I just withdraw monetary sponsorship. Do feel free to look for another sponsor. It's your right. Bye. Lol

Trump was taught from young in US one man can make a different or change the world, but come to Asia and N Asia he failed miserably..

He can try poor countries where he give aids (money) to them first, if no money these poor countries will also tell him to fuck off. Poor people has morals too....

U need to take opium lah.... get yr shit brain working...

I wonder why this young freedom-fighter is doing e-sports instead going into real battle in the streets of HK. Just another pretentious attention-seeker! Liberate his lanjiao! Beg on your knees for Uncle Sam and the Queen to come to your emotional rescue!

i recall from history, the great boycott of all things japanese in Singapore shortly before we became syonan-to

that is your assumption, he may well be a brave on the frontlines when he is not gaming.

I obviously don't think so! His identity is already so exposed and open by participating in the e-sports. By wearing his battle gear and covering up his face, he is just seeking media limelight. He should give up his career in e-sports and join the rioters and get a taste of live bullets. There is a price to pay and he so much wanted it. So help him God!

So considerate the blizzard company give him one year off to protest.

It's a good opportunity to prove his love for Cunto HongKanland. He should be elated! Lol

Your are perfectly entitled to your opinion and to voice it out. Such is the power of free speech that you will never have under the CCP world order. As this incident has shown.

Matt stone and Trey Parker are indeed a beacon in these dark times.

Yes indeed.

The #BoycottBlizzard hashtag is currently generating a tweet every few seconds on Twitter. “It’s about money,” wrote Kristopher Lad. “@Blizzard_Ent should stand with democracy. People can say whatever they want especially #FreeHongKong, there is nothing wrong in saying you stand with a nation.” Twitter user Nick Hawkins accused Blizzard of being “spineless brown-nosing apologists for totalitarianism.”


Some users said they were deleting Blizzard games from their game collections, and threatened to cancel subscriptions to World of Warcraft.

Reddit’s World of Warcraft Classic page shows equal outrage. “This is not a good look for them and any PR team with half a brain would know that,” wrote zmarotrix. “This, in my mind at least, proves the only thing they actually care about is money. If it makes them more money to defend China attacking its own citizens, then that’s what they are gonna do.”

Blizzard’s actions come at a time of increasing scrutiny on companies which have expansionist ambitions in China. Yesterday, the NBA apologized after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted pro-Hong Kong sentiments, which he later deleted. Presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke responded in a tweet: “The only thing the NBA should be apologizing for is their blatant prioritization of profits over human rights. What an embarrassment.”

Media commentators have also been critical of the decision.

“Blizzard is not merely trying to operate within the confines of Chinese censorship but acting as its agent,” wrote Vox’s Zack Beauchamp today, arguing that the company’s expansion priorities in China are leading it to make unacceptable decisions. “Blizzard is throwing its lot in with an authoritarian state, acting as an international agent of its repressive apparatus in opposition to fundamental human rights.”
