Controversy

In October 2019, Kibler announced that he will be stepping away from participating in Grandmasters’ live streams as a caster or commentator. He said:

“When I learned about the ruling, I reached out to Blizzard and informed them that I no longer feel comfortable casting the Grandmasters finals at BlizzCon.”

Brian went on to say:

“I will not be a smiling face on camera that tacitly endorses this decision. Unless something changes, I will have no involvement in Grandmasters moving forward.”

The incident occurred as a result of Blizzard’s punishment of now-former Hearthstone Grandmaster Chung “blitzchung” Ng Wai, who said, “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our age!” after winning his APAC Hearthstone Grandmasters match.

In response, Activision Blizzard suspended Chung for a year. In addition, Activision Blizzard forced Ng Wai to give up his prize money.

According to Activision, Ng Wai violated the rules of the Hearthstone Grandmasters when he engaged:

“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.”

During an interview, Brian wrote on Medium:

“I won’t pretend to understand either the intricacies of the geopolitical situation in China and Hong Kong or the full extent of Blizzard’s business interests there, but to me, this penalty feels like it is deeply rooted in both.”

William “Amnesiac” Barton, a Hearthstone player from the US, said regarding this situation:

“As a player in the Grandmaster League, I support democracy, free speech and the right of people in Hong Kong and around the world to assemble in protest.”

Kripparrian, a Romanian-Canadian Twitch streamer, declared:

“I invite Blizzard to reconsider their position.”

Later, a number of Blizzard employees staged a walkout to show support to Ng Wai.

An employee who preferred to remain anonymous said forThe Daily Beast:

“The action Blizzard took against the player was pretty appalling but not surprising.”
