German Players Sintolol and P4wnyhof Disqualified From Global Games
A lot of drama has surrounded the Global Games since it's first announcement, and once again recently when each countries winners were announced. Two days ago Sebastian "Forsen" Fors conceded his spot in the Swedish team due to Mats “P4wnyhof” Kathage making it into the German team, a promise he made to his community back when the event was announced.
Now, not even a week after the winners have been announced Blizzard released a new statement, disqualifying both Thomas “Sintolol” Zimmer and Mats “P4wnyhof” Kathage from participation in the German team due to inappropriate and unsportsmanlike comments.
As of now it's unclear which players will be replacing them.
Quote from BlizzardDear community,
In the light of recent, inappropriate, and unsportsmanlike comments made by Thomas “Sintolol” Zimmer and Mats “P4wnyhof” Kathage, we have decided to rescind their invitation to represent Team Germany in the upcoming Hearthstone Global Games.
We’re in the process of identifying replacement players, and will reach out to them privately.
- The Hearthstone Team
I see... Thanks for explaining, man! +10 upvotes for you!
Looking at the comments both of them made (Sinto on a Twitch rant, P4wny on Discord)... I'm totally content with them being banned. Both of them were awful, both of them deserved the ban.
The difference is that Sinto, from what I understand, at least immediately realized he had crossed a line. P4wny is just like "Oh looks like someone got offended for no reason! Oops!", when his comment about two dads was disgusting. Granted I already didn't like P4wny because regardless of drama he's objectively just been awful at being a part of the Hearthstone community, but it feels justified when there's that level of bigotry on display.

Ï'm so happy right now!!! Does anyone now if forsen will now participate or is it to late?
his spot has been filled by sjow i believe
More context thanks to /u/MrDiabetus on Reddit:
Forsen is fed up with P4wny's viewbotting and cheating, calls him out by saying he will not play if P4wny does. -> P4wny joins and Forsen leaves -> Sjow gets Forsen's spot -> P4wny says homophobic things to Sintolol -> Sintolol justifies Hitler: "I understand why Hitler killed all those retards when I see P4wny."
Hs community is nerdy and childy as fuck. Im curius to know what he really said inappropiate. Someone tell me
good vibes only :) MrDestructoid
Fun fact: If you type that in p4wny chat you get permaban :P
Nazi p4wny
Watch the HS community turning into one of the most toxic community, useless drama after useless drama.
Everyone say it's a childrens card game, it doesn't mean people have to act like them.
That is the reason
Sintonol said:
"Mentally handi****** people... why are these people allowed to survive?. I can see why people like (hi***r) existed when p4wny walk around on the street""
Not for the words themselves, but if they are used to troll or make hateful comments, certainly. That goes for most words though.

Anyone know what he actually said that got him banned? Would be interested to see.
Sintolol trash talked about P4wny, plus made the infamous German-Nazi amalgam, in the same statement, to which P4wny replied with Homophobic mocking comment - to wrap it up briefly
I just updated my comment, so it wasn't that one-sided anymore. The answer's now there too
Sorry, I can't really be helpful here ... I'm not familair with the streamer scene, nor the younger generation point of view. The little information I know about this are posted, couple comments up, and were only gathered once the news was released since ''HS Drama'' got me really curious. And now, I'm also curious about how ''Important'' this news really is ...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
