Maybe I'm making too big a thing out of this, but to me I'm more concerned about the precedent this sort of thing sets more so than this particular event itself. Additionally I just have an instinctive gag reflex and natural defiant attitude when it comes to hardcore Authoritarianism in any form.
And trust me I'm totally down for the "leave politics out of my games" notion. Games are often an escape. True. But in this case.. people expressing support for those fighting for basic human rights against literally physically VIOLENT government opposition. I simply cannot accept that that's anywhere REMOTELY close to the same thing as your typical debatable "political issue" in which there is actually some grey area. Especially when we're talking about a signle brief statement at a single esport event.. There's no grey area here as far as I'm concerned.
