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Effective immediately, Blizzard has removed Hong Kong Hearthstone player blitzchung from Hearthstone Grand Masters, rescinded all his prize money, and have suspended him from pro play for one year for his recent interview.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
@eshear even YouTube which is considerably larger than Twitch with more problems than Twitch in its own right, more scrutiny from the media and YouTube's own creators, and less competitors, has had CEO Susan Wojcicki do a solid job addressing problems

If YouTube can do it Twitch can too

1. Another Sunday, another massive protest in Hong Kong. A thread with what I saw and a few observations. #HongKongProtests #antiELAB
2. It was in Sha Tin in the New Territories, far from the areas where the previous protests happened. Again, a cross-section of people and it was peaceful. There were also some familiar faces, including Grandma Wong who is waving the British flag. (see previous thread)
3. One protester told me that they came out here because they want to bring the protest to the people. And as the rally snaked through the streets, there were banks of people on the bridges above cheering them on.
