Esports gamer Chung Ng Wai, who goes by Blitzchung, wears a gas mask and goggles and ends an interview saying “Liberate Hong Kong: Revolution of our times.” Hearthstone tournament sponsor Blizzard Entertainment bans him for a year and strips him of $10,000 in 2019 winnings.

Will global corporations ever stand up to the communist Chinese government and allow free speech? Can China stand against a world of (virtual) warriors?
