電競名稱含「光復」 港選手遭DQ停賽3年 亞運前哨戰主辦方指敏感 港電競總會「嚴懲」
Hong Kong esports player Lam Kei-lung used the name “Eazy.D.L光復” on Sunday (16th) while competing in the Asian Games ranking tournament “Road to the Asian Games”, losing to Team China. After the match, the Esports Association of Hong Kong, China, which is responsible for selecting athletes, issued a statement saying the Asian Electronic Sports Federation, the organiser, had disqualified Lam Kei-lung from “Road to the Asian Games” because his game name contained “sensitive wording”. After deliberation, the association decided to additionally suspend Lam from competition for three years, stressing that the suspension was necessary to safeguard fairness and sporting ethics. The association’s founding president Eric Chuen Sing Yeung declined to comment on whether the name was sensitive, saying that a player had complained that it was offensive, the organiser had “ruled it was so”, and the association needed to follow up.
