The past BlizzCon began with the fact that the president Blizzard Jay Allen Brack (J. Allen Brack) apologized for Hong Kong Ban. However, his words were so abstract that explanations had to be removed to Western journalists.
PC Gamer took a small interview from Brack. The first thing he stated that the company was not going to cancel the punishment for Blitzchung and two commentators who were not lucky enough to conduct an ill -fated broadcast.
According to Brack, employees Blizzard And everyone who, somehow participate in e -sports tournaments in the company’s games, can freely share their opinions on social networks. However, the official broadcasts of "Metelitsa" should only concern games. Therefore, Blitzchung received a ban not for the content of the statement, but for starting to talk about a topic not related to games.
As the president notes Blizzard, If the company had not taken any measures, then people would subsequently begin to spend precious broadcasting time on everything.
Ban commentators Brack explains in the same way. Their task was to conduct broadcasts about games, avoiding everything that does not apply to them. They could not cope with this task, and therefore were punished.
Also Brack talked about the role of a Chinese partner Blizzard In the face Netease in this story. Soon after the Blitzchung statement, the company published a comment in the Chinese Weibo service, where it condemned the expression of e -sportsman and expressed the intention to “protect the honor of my country”.
Believe Brack, This post actually published Netease, Without consulting with Blizzard, which would not approve of his publication. At the same time, the company could not stop this in any way, because it does not work with China directly.
Blizzard By law, has no right to work or publish games in China. You should have a partner. This is regulation, this is the law. Netease – Our partner. Netease is not a state institution, but by the company. This is the publisher. By law, we have no right to work with Weibo. This is a decision Netease, Since she publishes our games in China.
Why then apologized Brack? Because the company acted too quickly, which is why it initially imposed inadequate punishment. Recall that Blitzchung wanted to remove from competitions in Hearthstone for 12 months and deprive him of all the prize, and the commentators to fire at all. As a result, the punishment was softened: the cyber end will not be able to play for only six months and will receive its money, and commentators will not be able to conduct broadcasts on the company’s events of the same six months.
It seems to be words Brack that those involved in tournaments Blizzard They can freely express their points of view on social networks, are not quite similar to the truth. According to The Dallas Morning News, the company forced the trainer of the Dallas Fuel team in Overwatch League Justin Konroy (Justin Conroy) Delete Twit in support of Blitzchung.

Oh yes, for sure, he now claims (?) that it is impossible to say exactly so as not to waste the precious broadcast time … UPS.
Blinds are satisfied with the political action in their tournaments (LGBT Pride) – we are fighters for rights!
Players staged a political action at a local tournament – well done, fight for rights!
The player staged a political campaign at the international tournament – creature. Bastard. How dare he. Diluted the political. E -sports only for games. Ban on Hoy.
I advise you to get acquainted with the term "internal policy".
Well, separately from the text of the news:
According to Brack, … the official broadcasts of Metelitsa should concern Only games. Therefore, Blitzchung received the ban not for the content of the statement, but for starting to say On a topic not related to games.
It turns out that if the player on the air raised the question of pollution of the planet or simply said what wonderful weather today, he would be banned too? After all, you can only talk about games ..
Moreover, Blitzchung said. The slogan is not even in the tournament itself, but in a personal interview with it, which was carried out after the finals.
Since these relations are legalized by the state and receive all the ledness and support that are relied on to families.
who was made by a sick person who is ready to beat a person on the street only because he loves the wrong floor.
Since when, you need to put your sexual orientation for a show in e -sports competitions? I have nothing against the pride of the day, but if Plizard says that it is impossible about Hong Kong, then why is the pride to drag on the competition? Why Merch make a rainbow? Oh yes, because the pride makes them money and reputation, and statements about Hong Kong can worsen their relations with China.
PC Gamer users did not eat his words either.
What is the near -zard at all hoping? Such attempts to justify themselves without repentance are no different from attempts to shut up the situation – they only throw shocks into the fire. In this, or something, is their goal? I do not believe, because now they have given more adequate information farms, so that PR is unlikely to need PR. Their desire to sit on two chairs is quite clear from a financial point of view. The methods are only strange.
And you apparently actively support China’s repression addressed to Hong Kong?
Your coin, it may come so, what is about.
Well, politics = politics. No need to “equate” if this topic is a pure policy from the very beginning. Any relationship in any form is a personal matter (if it affects personality), but as soon as it brought out publicly and made part of a giant advertising company, social commentary and gathering likes on a high -hap theme, it instantly turns into a political.
The bottom line is not in knowledge, but in the publicity and the support of other people. In the city they close the park/school/museum, people against this gathered in front of the building demanding to stop. This is political. There are constantly leaks in some house, you need repairs, and residents collect signatures for some necessary action or sue together. This is political.
Dude, everything is public = all political.
Okay, like big, maybe Gugl learned to use.
And when punishment Netease?!
And then how do you know, suddenly Netease will use Weibo Blizzard for “everything”, “not related to games”. = B
Here the fact is that often this issue is very correlated with the country’s domestic policy. As a result, Yenivey is politically.
Here the news is cunning, because it was sooner the cybercotta was not lucky enough to get to these commentators, who provoked the whole conflict
LLC they will definitely use Weibo close -up for all political needs, and the latter will smile and wave their hands. 🙂
