Chinese Overwatch League team boycott against the Seoul Dynasty's Saebyeolbe is over

Shanghai Dragons: "All teams have agreed that providing the best competitive matches for our fans around the world is the number one priority."
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 10 mei 2021

A few days ago, we reported on the news that Chinese Overwatch League teams had issued a boycott on playing in any form against the Seoul Dynasty's Jong-ryeol "Saebyeolbe" Park, for comments he made on his personal Twitch stream. Well, only a few days later, that boycott is now over, and the Chinese teams are once again playing with the DPS star.

"Through the active involvement of the Overwatch League, and with collaboration with the teams involved, we recently had many rounds of discussion and have finally reached an agreement on this incident," said the Shanghai Dragons in a statement. "Meanwhile, all teams have agreed that providing the best competitive matches for our fans around the world is the number one priority."

The Seoul Dynasty has also issued a statement saying, "In the spirit of fostering healing, better understanding of one another, and delivering great competition for our fans around the world, all teams will be resuming normal activities, and we look forward to making you proud in our next match."
