When gaming giant Blizzard Entertainment suspended a player from an upcoming esports competition, it released a statement in Chinese and English regarding the incident. Just as with the recent NBA controversy, Blizzard’s statement in Chinese differed from its statement in English.
On Tuesday, Blizzard announced that it was suspending Hong Kong Hearthstone player Ng “Blitzchung” Wai Chung after he voiced support for Hong Kong protesters during an interview with the official Taiwanese Hearthstone livestream after his last matchup. “Liberate Honk Kong, revolution of our age,” Blitzchung said after appearing on the stream wearing a gas mask.
