A German TV channel has pulled its esports coverage in the wake of last week's shooting in Munich.
Nine persons died and 35 others were injured when an 18 year old fired a gun severally into and outside a shopping mall. The attack ended when the perpetrator turned the gun to himself.
Now, German network ProSieben MAXX has decided to pull its weekend coverage of first person shooter Counter-Strike: Go in response.
Germany's national CS:GO esports team mouseports were due to be featured in the schedule, ESPN has reported, which include Eleague's semifinals and finals.
The move has been criticised by some, including Mattias Remmert, boss of freaks4u, a company which worked to get esports shown on German TV.
Out of all the European countries, Germany has historically had an uneasy relationship with adult video games. Germany's rating board, the USK, has censored numerous titles and has often required games to omit or tone down violence.
The game is a pc based pls share!
