acually this maybe happening ngl cuz they banded GEN.G

China may not allow GEN.G to enter their country by not approving their visa.

basically: GenG is banned in China because they recognised Taiwan as a country, so China government BAN them...idk exactly why but its political thing

For context

remember the GenG/Taiwan controversy? this led to few things

  • LCK permanently loses the Chinese cast
  • During VCT Madrid, the main stream in chinese platform skips broadcast of every GenG match and replaced by rerun. the CN Twitch stream is unaffected
  • Any costreamers doing GenG matches during that had to avoid labelling "GenG" properly in stream name, including having any picture or anything to blurred over anything that screams GenG, most notably the team name at the score counter on top

This goes back even further to the NewJeans rule during Worlds 2023 where Tencent showed NewJeans performance without having proper permission first. This is partially why many CN league went offstream or had a delayed broadcast for quite some time after that, now they had to be even stricter on getting permission just to make sure they could stream Korean matches without consequences

Dumb question, but viewers still know GEN.G is present at the event right? Can they watch the games’s VOD later?

Yeah, viewers knew who're playing
only the streamer just cant explicitly say or publicly acknowledging its GenG thats playing

not sure about VOD but probably someone uploads it on Bilibili anyway
