Blizzard Suspends Professional Hearthstone Player for Hong Kong Comments

Not at all the same though. If I release software specifically for a national market, I adapt to the local law of that nation. In this case, the software is WoW, and the country is China. It could have been Wolfenstein and the country being Germany. It could have been a nipple in a game, and the country being USA. We don't notice such.

However, in this case, we're at an Asian (not Chinese) esports event where one should be free to express their opinion. It is not as if we don't see skeleton cosplay on esport events being banned, or that Germany demands Wolfenstein esports events (?) don't contain blood and Nazi paraphernalia. It is not as if the USA complains about a nipple on TwitchCon in Amsterdam. This is about a country applying censorship beyond their jurisdiction.
