Blizzard banned 3 more Hearthstone players for sympathizing with Hong Kong protesters on livestream. The college students flashed a sign at the end of a losing game that read: "Free Hong Kong Boycott Blizz".

Blizzard is embroiled in a fresh censorship controversy after banning three more 'Hearthstone' players for supporting the Hong Kong protests during a tournament.

The US games giant, which develops 'Hearthstone', banned three college players from taking part in tournaments for six months after they held up a sign during an official competition stream last week which read: "Free Hong Kong, Boycott Blizz."

All three competitors – Casey Chambers, Corwin Dark and a third member who goes by the online moniker TJammer – are members of an esports team called American University. They were competing in the American Collegiate 'Hearthstone' championship when the incident took place.

Apparently Blizzard asked people to make commentary like this on their own media platforms, but not through the companies official streams, which I wouldn't say was unfair.

Either way, the players pretty proudly posted their ban notification on twitter xD
