Summary of changes made:
* Blitzchung will receive all his prize money.
* Bliztchung's suspension from pro play halved to 6 months
* Casters will now be allowed to cast Blizzard events after 6 months
Key statements:
* In hindsight, our process wasn’t adequate, and we reacted too quickly
* The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision.
* We have these rules to keep the focus on the game and on the tournament to the benefit of a global audience, and that was the only consideration in the actions we took.
* If this had been the opposing viewpoint delivered in the same divisive and deliberate way, we would have felt and acted the same.

- CosmicShadow 7y agoHeh, feels like reading Blizzard patch notes!
- Arwill 7y agoImagine a comparable situation. Someone wins an olympic medal, and makes a political statement in the subsequent interview. Then the olympic committee decides to take the medal away, and ban the winner from competing again.
