J. Allen Brack's BlizzCon Remarks About Hong Kong And China

Blizzard president J. Allen Brack wrote that after reviewing the situation, they felt the penalties applied were not appropriate, though they were still concerned about how Blitzchung and the casters took the discussion away from the game and into political discourse. Brack stated they will re-instate Blitzchung's winnings and reduce his ban from Grandmasters to six months, and similarly will reduce the casters ban to six months.
