Quote: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.
