Blizzard has banned the American University Hearthstone team from competition for six months for holding up a “Free Hong Kong, Boycott Blizz” sign during an official live stream. The punishment was handed out almost a week after the incident, but the American University team says it was to be expected.
As first reported by Vice, the American University’s three-member Hearthstone team consisting of Casey Chambers, Corwin Dark, and a third teammate called TJammer, has been issued a six-month ban from competitive Hearthstone by Blizzard. Chambers published the email the team received from Blizzard notifying them of the ban on their Twitter account.
