      This makes global news and puts real pressure on the International Esports Federation — the group actually capable of policing the bullies — to do their job.

      This sucks, but is absolutely the correct play by the Ukrainian team.

      It’s not running away, it’s standing up for what is clearly war crimes being committed by a nation.

      In this very tournament there are no Russians at all, but it is important to make a mark. I remember Virtus Pro, where in 2022 a Russian player drew a big Z on the minimap. The team was excluded, but was back in 2023 as if nothing had happened.
