Well I clicked the links. On Blizzard's own turf, presumably live, he said that the prize (money) wasn't so good.Not the smartest career move.Problem for Blizzard: Let it pass? Then others will be encouraged to also criticise the prize money and of course they will go one step further forward. Punish him? The other option is to nab this one in order to prevent more comments like that and especially to avoid an escalation.From a business sense they had to send a message. They had no choice.If this player or others think the prize money structure / amounts are bad then they should play other games. Really simple. LoL and DoTA have decent possibilities. You do need to be really good though. Learn Korean and Chinese if you are good and join an established team. Or if you have personality stream on Twitch. Options available.TLDR: You never bite the hand that feeds you, no matter how much you dislike the hand. A basic life lesson.
Is he suspended from WoW entirely, or just esports? Cause if he can't play WoW for a year, he will be severely at a disadvantage when the suspension ends as well.
How do you guys know he didn't beat someone up?..
