Watching the EEU DPC chat shows why Valve needs to take action on that specific region

Windranger DOTA 2 Hero Warriors Ice

I was watching the EEU DPC games and it's honestly sickening how "people" are behaving in chat.

Showing their support in chat for current events and so on. People searching every way possible to write that letter from eZ to Zai to Zzzz, most just being stupid and trying to be edgy, probably.

The Pure incident. It's a pretty cut and clear case imho.

Other sporting events/organizations have taken action against this:

In Chess, you are not allowed to play under the russian flag. Karjakin who supported the war explicitly was banned and removed from Candidates tournament.

Tennis, banned both Belarus and Russian federations. Rugby, the same

Football, banned teams from international play in UEFA Cup and Champions League.

Formula 1 terminated it's contract with Russian Grand Prix and teams.

And in Esports, Ubisoft and EA banned russian orgs from certain games, so it's not unheard of.

Can Valve take a stance already against this shit? I know they get a lot of money from that part of the world, but still. If you can't be civilized you shouldn't get the benefits.
