Thunder1 [#2]These bans are baseless
Why punish the citizen of the country ? When they too don't want war
Tbh not speaking anything more about that stuffEsporst Unite People, Sport Unite People
Also FIFA, UEFA, BLAST - Let ban them
Agreed. But I guess they think that Russian players and teams are representing the Russian pride, so they don't want that to be the case. Also there might be problems with traveling and stuff. I personally think this is dumb and even lazy move to farm some pr points, but what can you do.
queueK [#6]is this a legal thing?
Can't see the reasoning behind disallowing teams and players who had nothing to do with the situation, just because their country is currently being led by a sackless cunt
Who they would seek for legal justice maintence? International courts? Russian courts?

It also has to do with economic sanctions, esports orgs, just like any other company, are a business

i think so
number1_MIBR_hater [#8]Who they would seek for legal justice maintence? International courts? Russian courts?
I was thinking that EU sanctions made it hard for travel, or made it difficult for Russian teams/players to operate/travel/participate to or in events.
Carthage_Er_Pola [#14]So will VP or NAVI be able to participate cause NAVI is mainly a Ukrainian org while VP has 2 russians only
Yes and No

VP and Gambit probably , NAVI is ukranian but idk if Perfecto Boom4 and Electronic will play
Shanvel [#15]What happens to the Russian players ?
I think every Russian has travel restrictions by now so this move is more of a PR move than anything, since the russians would either probably not be able to attend or demand a huge ammount of resources.

sasuke777lover [#22]Good Step, everyone who doesnt understand this should be banned.
PEOPLE and Family die in War. And this is just a GAME!!!!!Of course its bad for CIS region but this step is against the goverment.

It's not to punish the players but the organisations that are sponsoring these teams. Gambit's sponsor is MTS which is a Russian telecom company. Same goes for VP with Russian sponsors. Players are sadly part of this.
https://twitter.com/luismmira/status/1498626422784638979 This is the reasoning behind it, presumably to prevent orgs who actively support or get support from russia's government out of competition, tbh it seems pretty ridiculous to me however i see the point
Adding more onto this, I mean particularly teams like Virtus pro since they have RUSSIAN sponsors and possibly Gambit because they have a russian telecom company as a sponsor, etc, it just seems like they are targetting everything russian with no remorse for people since russia had no remorse for Ukraine, In short terms, All is fair in love and war according to blast
Pogo [#35]All u mfs think Putin is the bad guy when in reality the ukraine military have been killing civilians for the past 8 years
I think every country kills civilians to a certain point, Your point?
ZoldyK [#19]VP and Gambit probably , NAVI is ukranian but idk if Perfecto Boom4 and Electronic will play
I don't think Gambit will be banned, Either way this is Valorant not cs, So i'm presuming they will be fine, they are all russian but i don't know if their org is predominantly russian or supported by the government there, i think it's pretty based in the U.S at this point, so i don't see why they'd be banned if Russia did get banned from Val too

number1_MIBR_hater [#43]FIFA banned russia and russian clubs but let fucking Qatar to host this years' world cup LMAO
There were questionable reports from fifa based off corruption etc and who would really be surprised if qatar paid them, I don't know why fifa banned Russia
bonkbonk [#44]There were questionable reports from fifa based off corruption etc and who would really be surprised if qatar paid them, I don't know why fifa banned Russia
Because FIFA is the most corrupt organization outside of geopolitics in the whole world. They banned them more for PR and probably cause EU asked them to, this is pressure for the whole russian system to crumble
username_ [#42]source?
Look at China's genocides against the Rohingya and Russia outlawing gay people, everyone kills people based off different things they believe in, Ukraine aren't the only ones guilty of that if they even are.

For me i think Russia's ban wouldn't of mattered tbh, There were multiple statements put out from England, Etc, etc's national teams saying they wouldn't play against Russia in the World Cup
bonkbonk [#48]For me i think Russia's ban wouldn't of mattered tbh, There were multiple statements put out from England, Etc, etc's national teams saying they wouldn't play against Russia in the World Cup
Yeah, I mean, most teams wouldn't play against them so FIFA just made it easy for everyone and banned Russia so they would be seen "doing something". But also by banning Russian teams, they try to hit their sponsors/owners.
n1zo [#49]well, then do the same with usa and israel
I agree, but it wouldn't matter anyway, NA CS:GO teams are all bottlers lmao

I think there are problems with sanctions. How are they supposed to pay the prizemoney? Or the Russian orgs pay their foreign players?

China and Burma signed a treaty of friendship and mutual non-aggression and promulgated a Joint Declaration on 29 June 1954, officially basing their relations on the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence. The relationship with China was under the spirit of the term "pauk-phaw", meaning kinship in Burmese.

They have held the treaty no matter the situations going on, using simple deduction, china are responsible for the genocide as well as burma, logically speaking if we are using the logic of russian players getting banned because the government are ass.

Your missing the point in what the ban is to do.
Its to make the common person, the everyday joe on the street and also high profile figures (athletes etc), have a hard time doing anything. Giving them the choice to over throw the govenment and do something about this themselves. Rather than other countries having to stop Russia and start WW3.
The same can be said for why the Russian banks cant trade on swift. It affects the Richest people in Russia and those people will start to pressure Putin to withdraw from Ukraine.
Its not about punishing the citizens its about the end goal.

America and Israel are currently doing the same things. I'm not saying Russia is right, but what about sanctions towards usa/Israel too?

valotard5 [#59]Hypocrites, were NA, french and UK teams banned when they bombed the fuck out of middle east?
You mean in retaliation to them flying a plane into the world trade centres, or to dethrown sadam hussain, or to dethrown the taliban... want me to continue on these reasons.
The Putin reason for bombing the Ukraine is to prevent them gaining nuclear weapons, FUNNY THAT they gave them all to Russia 10 years ago!!!!
He just wants to rebuild the soviet union and dictate what they can do, all started because the Ukraine wants into the EU and NATO and he cant handle the fact that he doesnt have power over that region anymore.
Dont believe what your Russian media is telling you...

This forum has a no politics policy but HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAH you're the one high on USA propaganda lmao, USA and their allies should never have step foot on the Middle East, and if there are terrorist groups and conflict in there it's all the West fault, no one should play global police and their politics are creating more instability than anything.

Clampdown on dissent in Russia continues
In Russia, the authorities are continuing to crack down on independent news coverage of what the Kremlin describes as its "special military operation" in Ukraine.
Last night, the authorities took independent radio station Ekho Moskvy off the air and blocked access to the website of leading independent internet TV channel Dozhd.
In recent days, the authorities have sent threatening letters to a number of independent media demanding they take content about the war in Ukraine down or be blocked.
According to the demands, media are not allowed to use words such as "war" and "invasion" and must not include "unverified" (i.e. not from official state sources) information about civilian casualties and killed and injured troops.
Today, Ekho Moskvy has said the prosecutor’s office is trying to block the station’s social media accounts too. Both Ekho and Dozhd continue to be hosted on some services like YouTube.
Russian primary school children detained for anti-war protest
When I saw reports and photographs on Tuesday suggesting that primary school children had been arrested by police in Moscow for laying flowers at the Ukrainian embassy and holding signs saying “No to war” I refused to believe it was real.
But now it has been confirmed by the Nobel prize-winning newspaper Novaya Gazeta. In an update the newspaper says the children have since been released.
The images show the children with officers behind metal bars, perhaps in a police vehicle, and then in a police station, holding their flowers and placards.
The Kremlin appears to be taking increasingly draconian measures to try to keep a grip on its war narrative.

But this is about the Ukraine "Getting Nuclear Weapons".
