Did you attempt to close your account following the HK tournament controversy?

I stopped playing Blizzard games after that incident, because I’m not willing to populate the servers of a game company that punishes people for saying a few words in support of human rights. (I might eventually return, since Microsoft has replaced their upper management, but I’m not in a hurry.)

I never deleted my account, though, so I’m afraid I can’t offer another point of view on your situation.
