https://www.hltv.org/forums/threads/2593549/why-blast-is-right you can find some clue here but there is many reasons behind that
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.
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
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.

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
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".
