“Without flag and anthem, we are not going anywhere” Our esports players responded to the Russophobic ultimatum of the World Championship leadership by refusing to participate in the autumn competitions. Russian esports players were given an ultimatum to participate in the world championship: either compete without a flag or not compete at all. The President of the Russian Esports Federation, Dmitry Smit, reported on the discriminatory conditions of the upcoming autumn World Championship, which exclusively target athletes from Russia. Such anti-Russian measures in the sports field are not new: at the Olympic Games, our country was also left without a flag and anthem. Self-respecting athletes and patriots refused (https://t.me/readovkanews/77491) the humiliating “neutral” status at the championship in Paris, and similarly, esports players will not shake hands with those who want to dehumanize them at the world championship. At the same time, the Federation emphasized that Russia is not withdrawing from the competitions, but Western “curators” were made to understand that they will not see Russians without national symbols at the World Championship.
