I have also turned down working any events for the Esports World Cup. These events, which are wholly funded by the Saudi Arabian government, do not align with my personal and professional values, so I'm fine with not lending my time and energy to them. Be cool ✌🏽

Thoughts?

his loss

But he was at China for Valorant Masters so bit hypocritical no?

Everybody under that tweet should have spammed "But you worked for China though"
What a missed opportunity.

China doesn't do sportswashing.

sideshow (platchat) my moral and ethical king would never

For me living in EU (and also having lived in Dubai for some time), I feel there is a huge difference between Saudi and China in the scale of tyrannical countries. I don`t get the ”but China” argument or am I missing something?

It is. But again, Riot's parent company is Tencent, a chinese company so it's impossible to avoid this. Fortunate thing is Tencent and the chinese goverment are not exactly on good terms. If people have a reason to turn down the offer, you gotta respect it. That can be said for people to decide to work there, it should not reflect on their character since they can do other things to bring awareness to show they disagree. Simply put, they are there to work. Now, Saudi is a special case. Just my opinion tho.

Because China is the evil authoritarian country that everyone hates and must talk smack about even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic on hand. God forbid anyone talk about morals without mentioning China and oh my word how blind of those preaching virtues when they don't mention China.

But yeah people just like talking about China lol.
