Yes I get it, I know Blizz is partnered with China for business and business makes money. But even if he had said something in the support of China it still would have led to his removal as per their policy. And it’s not like its a permanent ban, it’s a year ban. Yes, he had his winnings taken away. And yes, he can’t participate for a year which means next year - if he wants to - he’ll be able to.
On that note though, what is the punishment for someone cheating in Hearthstone competition?
