Som bekendt bliver der lige nu diskuteret på livet løs i esportens verden, efter Blizzard valgte at bandlyse spilleren Ng 'Blitzchung' Wai Chung for at udtrykke støtte til protesterne i Hong Kong over en udleveringsaftale med Kina.
Dette har blandt andet fået andre store organisationer i branchen til at fastslå deres position hvad angår udtrykkelsen af politiske budskaber under turneringer. Eksempelvis siger John Needham, der er chef for esport ovre hos Riot Games, at også de ikke tillader politiske budskaber ved blandt andet LoL Worlds.
Han siger således:
"We serve fans from many different countries and cultures, and we believe this opportunity comes with a responsibility to keep personal views on sensitive issues (political, religious, and otherwise) separate."
"These topics are often incredibly nuanced, require deep understanding and a willingness to listen, and cannot be fairly represented in the forum our broadcast provides. Therefore, we have reminded our casters and pro players to refrain from discussing any of these topics on air."
