Kuku Banned in WESG

• Bad news mukang pinepersonal na
• In a recent update, WESG issued a statement saying that Kuku would not be allowed to attend the event due to the decision by the Chongqing City Government
• Here is detailed a quote obtained by CyberSports
• “After inquiring the Ministry of Foreign Affair and Ministry of Public Security in Chongqing. We regret to let you know that KUKU is not allowed to enter Chongqing for the WESG event according to the decision from the city government,”
• grabe na politica na talaga at nakelam ang gobyerno ng China
• to those who don't remember Kuku made a racist remark on a Chinese player in a pub match
• which sparked an outraged to the Dota 2 community which then resulted on Kuku being banned in the Chongqing major
• and even if Kuku attends to support the team he is still not allowed and that there are safety concerns according to the event organizers
• grabe diba
• Additionally a WESG representative said the following
• “As a tournament organizer, WESG will follow the instruction from the local government. This is a final decision.”
• this is very bad news specially for TNC fans
• because if a city government can do this what more the upcoming the international 2019 which will be held in Shanghai this year
• Also we have to take into account the recently Ninjaboogie will no longer be part of the active roster and that kuku will assume the game leadership
• Currently the feeling in the Dota scene is that this ban very unfair because Kuku do note that he already apologized multiple times with a salary deduction to boot
• So far valve and tnc haven't replied in the issue hopefully if TnC Predator managed to qualify in Ti9 kuku will still be allowed because if not it's just too much
• as china might have as well killed his career
