Blizzard has removed professional player Chung 'blitzchung' Ng Wai from the Hearthstone Grandmasters after he showed support to the current anti-government protests in Hong Kong during an interview over the weekend.
In a blog post, Blizzard said that Ng Wai had violated the competition's rules stating that players are not allowed to "engage in any act that, in Blizzard's sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image."
In a video interview he gave after his win against South Korean player Jang 'DawN' Hyun Jae, Ng Wai shouted: "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our age!", Inven Global reported. This video has since been removed.
He was also wearing a gas mask and goggles akin to those Hong Kong protesters wore before masks were banned from the demonstrations last week - although numerous protesters have defied this ban since.
