Breaking: Effective immediately, Blizzard has removed Hong Kong Hearthstone player blitzchung from Hearthstone Grand Masters, rescinded all his prize money, and have suspended him from pro play for one year for his recent interview.

Statement below
Blizzard has also fired both of the Hearthstone casters working the event, both of whom literally ducked underneath the desk during the interview and neither of which to my knowledge had any idea what was going to be said

very cool, Blizzard
Blizzard has also disabled comments on the news which are normally open, and from scrolling back through hundreds of posts this is the only time they've done that

can't imagine why

Twitch CEO Emmett Shear is showing he is completely and utterly out of touch with the people who stream on and watch Twitch. out of touch with esports and video games, the bedrock of Twitch. even out of touch with some his own employees

Twitch needs more from its leader @eshear
@eshear it's not just about porn on Ninja's channel. it's the lack of commitment to secure Ninja, with other big streamers considering leaving. it's the numerous bad rulings and no consistency from Twitch on its bans for streamers, and a failure to address any of them to the community

Calls for strikes & protests for June 12th in #HongKong. That's when the extradition bill is scheduled for a second reading. Carrie Lam, the HK head of government is under pressure to resign. She is doing the bidding of #China's #CCP government.
HK leader Carrie Lam says the extradition bill was not proposed by Beijing. "We are doing it," she says. Not true. She is China's stooge in H.K. Why HK people elected these leaders? It's because China has veto power over the candidates. Only pro #China candidates can run.
