So you ppl are mad cuz he decided to call for revolution on their stream about a (childrens')card game and they didnt like it? You rly think what he did was right by any shape or form seriously? And not to mention he did state what he state while knowing the tours rules and what would happen if he did so. Im not sure why you are mad at blizzard for doing what they say they would do if that happened,its their tour,their stream and politics have no place in such events anyway
You're technically right. The rule, for those who don't know:
Engaging in any act that, in Blizzard’s sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image will result in removal from Grandmasters and reduction of the player’s prize total to $0 USD, in addition to other remedies which may be provided for under the Handbook and Blizzard’s Website Terms.
BUT I say screw the rules. This is so much bigger than Hearthstone. He knows the atrocities happening in HK and he knew he had a platform at that moment, and he used it to call out against what is unequivocally a humanitarian and political disaster in Hong Kong. Resorting to technicalities and rules to say "hey look, he broke the rules, it's written right there" is ignoring the nature of the situation. It's like saying you can't criticize Hitler because you might "offend a portion of group of the public", namely, neo-nazis. Obviously an exaggeration, but the point is, this is worth using your platform for, and punishing someone for doing something so important to protect an autocracy and keep their business is something very few people can support.
I get it from a business sense. But certain things call for taking the high ground and suspending business as normal. This is the Tianamen Square of today.
Get your trash sexist and racist self out of here.
Honestly if a minor change that doesn't effect game play has you thinking like this then you really need to reassess yourself. This honestly reads like a satire.

I've had great success with it in wild as it has a bit more support there.
You can easily get multiple copies of it with the new discover a taunt card and Stonehill Defender and end up throwing down massive minions.
Played about 10 games around rank 13 and only lost one. Probs one of my fav cards from the set.
