Agreed, but I will say it’s easy for Epic to have a “backbone” when it involves not paying out $200k. Seems like a perfect scenario for them, unless runner up makes a claim to the prize money.
The gray area of them playing from Belarus is not so gray in my opinion. Everyone knows they have Russian’s hand up their ass.
The right thing would be to exclude them from the competition in the first place.
No kudos to Epic Games for weaseling themselves out from paying prize money.
Nobody looks good here but kudos to Epic for having a backbone and trying to do the right thing.

Lawyers will get involved. If they wanted to send a message they could donate the winnings to the Ukrainian red cross
$200k to epic is like a penny to us. Meaningless.

I’m sure it was the 40% of Tencent’s stake over anything else.
