Could Zeus be banned from entering China because of his contact with a student? Is a new cyber-drama with political overtones starting?

Guys, where is this even going? This isn’t just a game anymore :0

Can someone explain what actually happened?

Zeus met a Chinese girl at an international tournament. She was a university student, but after spending time with him, she was expelled from her university in China. The New York Times even published an article about the growing “hatred toward foreigners” on Chinese social media…

Alright, let’s not panic. Zeus is a public figure, and if he really did talk to a Chinese girl, that’s their personal. But China is a country with strict control over who interacts with whom. This isn’t the first time the New York Times has reported on growing hostility toward foreigners. If the girl publicly supported a foreign player, it might simply “look bad” in the eyes of the authorities.

Maybe Zeus is just trying to hype himself up with this whole story? Like, “they’re after me because I’m honest”, classic move))) Actually  NYT and outlets like it always write as if the whole of China hates foreigners. Maybe it’s time to stop throwing labels around?

Bro… Zeus is known as a man of principle, he refused to take part in match-fixing even when he was offered big money. He’s not a politician, btw. He just met a girl, became friends with her and now she’s getting expelled? That’s insane.

Just became friends?) I doubt that.

He was posting videos with her on his Telegram channel, they had a romantic relationship, so there’s no need to talk about friendship here

Even if they were in a relationship, that’s no reason to expel him from the university or cancel Zeus. I hope the girl will be okay.

Has Zeus said anything about this yet?

He wrote on his personal Telegram channel that he genuinely feels for her and regrets that the girl ended up suffering the most. He said he never intended to offend the people of China or the girl herself. Human rights activists in Shanghai are currently helping her.

This is no longer just about esports. It’s a symptom of global anxiety

I hope things work out for the girl because of all the public attention
