If this was 1939 and some German players said they did not want to represent Germany, then yes, absolutely.

They weren't asked, but Dewalt himself specifically stated that he did not want to represent Russia in BSL. Gory has said that he's too busy to play right now.

so remove only dewalt's flag is he chooses to and not the rest that is going to play.

Sounds to me like you should make your own events and decide how you’d like to run them.

We certainly shouldn’t let them compete under a swastika flag. The Germany they’re representing has changed a bit since WW2. The current Russian flag represents Russia today.

Or where do you think people should discuss that decision? Of course if gorynich shared a similar sentiment to Dewalt then you can disregard these comments. But I think it is fair to ask. (I'm also curious.)

I think the goal of the discussion is quite clear: is there no russian flag for g0rynich because he stated something similar like Dewalt did publicly or is it Zzzero's decision based on this post: https://tl.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=27915195 ? Of course based on the post the likeliness of the latter is quite high (maybe both apply in this case also). But it would be still nice to know, so I get where mjolnir is "coming from".

feels like ur saying putin is russia and he represents the spirit of the people, and flag. seems wrong to me, they still deserve their flag, i dont think russians was able to vote if they wanted a war. just my opinion

They can always vote by protesting and revolting. This has been the case many times in history.

As a russian civilian man i can't even belive in what's happening in the real life right now. Putin is a crazy guy, his propaganda and police army in Russia is too big for guys like me to go outside and screaming "Stop war", because tomorrow i will probably be in jail. But i'm planning to do it anyway in future days. Everything is going on in Ukraine right now is terrible, and i never cried in my life as much as i did last few days. I feel so sorry and so frustrated for people who feel all the horrors of war right now, but i can't really do anything with that. So i really hope everyone who seeing this messege will understand my position in terms of what's happening.
Now you can ban me or any other russian players from BSL and i wont even be angry because of that but you should understand that we are just regular people without big money or audience to really change anything right now. All i khow right now, i don't wan't to represent Russia as a country in future BSL events if it's possible.
That was Dewalt's post on the topic and it should directly answer your comment on protesting.
To further add, I've personally disagreed with almost every single war, coup, assassination, bombing, etc. that the United States has conducted in my lifetime. I have protested, I've ran for office, and I've voted, yet it continues to this day. Blaming and condemning all Russians for the acts of their government is wrong, just as it'd be wrong to blame and condemn all Americans for the atrocities we commit around the world. That shouldn't be a controversial stance or hot take. It should be a "DUH, thanks Captain Obvious" take. Our community is too small to be punishing players whom are in countries that are doing things they have no control over. Hell, even if our community was huge, we shouldn't be punishing them.
Anyways, back to the event. It should be a fun! I hope everyone has a good time with it. GL everyone~
