Exactly. He could have won, been famous, and then outside of the tournament but still as the champion, make his opinions and what he wants known

You guys really need to check your priorities. The problems in Hong Kong are not new, spamming the forums because Blizzard is enforcing one rule the player broke is not going to change anything.
Youâre not going to get Blizzard to support your cause, even if they remove the suspension of the player then what? What are all of you protesting about this going to do about Hong Kong? Stop spamming a videogame forum, you guys are so obnoxious.

Welcome to the world of business where sometimes playing the âgood guyâ doesnât work.
Blizzard is not supporting any side but punishing a player who pushed his own agenda.
Exactly, itâs the same with Colin Kaepernick. He can protest and knee all he wanted outside of NFL games but when you play youâre a employee of the NFL and should be treated as such.

Oh, I understand. I understand fully it would cost them a lot.
But I value basic principles like human rights more than I do pure profit.

True.
But by entering this competition, that player agreed to these terms.
I wonât claim to know the full story but thereâs a difference between breaking rules you agreed to and simply breaking unjust rules.

Itâs against terms of service⌠blizzard never said he couldnât have an opinion, they just stopped him from using their platform to do so.
It doesnât matter if itâs right or wrong what he is saying, it violates the contract he scrolled through and clicked agree.

Blizzard and the NBA have been anything but apolitical.
Engaging in any act that, in Blizzardâs sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image will result in removal from Grandmasters and reduction of the playerâs prize total to $0 USD, in addition to other remedies which may be provided for under the Handbook and Blizzardâs Website Terms.
Itâd be pretty easy to call basically anyone under violation of that if you want to do so and they say much of anything.

For anyone wondering why someone would randomly post this thread:
Blizzard banned a player for supporting Hong Kong protesters. Blizzard is also censoring posts about this. Please do the right thing and spread the word.

Looking for an excuse to quit? LOOK NO FURTHER! Hearthstone has an oppressed player bantering about a potentially touchy subject with Blizzardâs cash cow!
Donât mess with Blizzardâs cash cow.

So are you quitting this game cause a guy violated terms and rules he know or are you quitting cause you discover that blizzard doesnât care about you? (Only your money).
