Park "Saebyeolbe" Jong-Ryeol, a player for the Overwatch League's Seoul Dynasty, caused a stir of international proportions when he made controversial comments about freedom of speech in China and objected to the “One China” policy on a stream in early April. All four Chinese OWL teams threatened a boycott of Saebyeolbe and the Dynasty, but relented soon after. This week, Imad is joined by Troy Stangarone, senior fellow at the Korea Economic Institute of America, to put the incident and its near-ramifications into their proper economic, historical, and political contexts.
