This week, Hearthstone pro Ng Wai Chung - known as ‘Blitzchung’ in-game - was suspended by Blizzard after a post-match interview where he called for the liberation of Hong Kong. Many players have been threatening to boycott Blizzard ever since, and while Blitzchung is much more friendlier toward the company in his new statement, he’s still not sure whether he’ll return to competition. “First of all, I'm grateful for Blizzard reconsidering their position about my ban,” Blitzchung says in his personal statement. “Earlier this week, I told media that I knew I might have penalty or consequence for my act, because I understand that my act could take the conversation away from the purpose of the event. In the future, I will be more careful on that and express my opinions or show my support to Hong Kong on my personal platforms.” In the wake of the controversy, Blizzard has reduced Blitzchung’s one-year suspension to six months, and has restored his prize winnings for the tournament. “To be honest, I think six months is still quite a lot to me,” Blitzchung says, but adds that he appreciates the opportunity to return to Grandmaster competition.
